Notes: Batch size: 3.4G
Grain Bill: 8lbs
Boil time: 60 mins
Trub Loss: 0.2G
Mash Thickness: 1.5 qts/lbs
Target mash temp: 152

Wort Shrinkage: 4%
Grain Absorption: 0.13 gal/lbs
% Boiloff: 10%

Total water needed: 5.14G
Mash: 2.66G
Sparge: 2.55G
Strike temp: 164.33F
Pre-boil wort: 4.17G

1. Start with strike water of 10.1L (2.66G) @ 164.33F.
2. Put in 8 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 152F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.62G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 9.7L (2.55G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.51G of pre-boil wort.

Took twenty minutes to get to 164F. Didn't drop below 160. 158 after 5 minutes. 155 after 10 minutes. 150 after 50 minutes.

Shit, forgot to add 0.25 lbs of flaked wheats.

Hydrometer is reading 1.04 in water.

Took 25 minutes to boil.

Ended up with 4.6 gallons of pre-boil wort... Hydrometer reads 1.04 @ 118F = 1.048...way below my target OG. If I drop 4 points, its actually 1.044. If 1.044 with 4.7 gallons of PB wort, then efficiency is 75.5%, not bad. Will add 0.75 lbs of corn sugar @ 15 minutes to bump OG.

52 minutes after boil to get to 80F with ice bath.

Now have 1.070 OG with 4.0 gallons of beer! I guess its more like 1.066 based on calibration... That is 77% efficiency!

6 days after pitching, FG is at 1.020 - two gravity points higher than expected. 72% attenuation versus 70%, not so bad. Started to dry hop with 2 oz.

Bottle Carbonation: 2.4 Volumes of C02. 2.9 oz of corn sugar with a cup of boiled water for 3.5 gallons.

First taste on November 13, 2014 - 15 days after bottling. App: completely opaque. Decent head if poured right into clean glass. Aroma: fruity and grassy notes. Taste: Bitter and dry. Fruity. MF: high carbonation. Light-medium body. Overall: really good! even after two weeks in the bottles.

Description: Find the lightness in this deep, dark beer. While it may be completely opaque, reminiscent of a black hole, the aroma and taste will remind you a beautiful nebula, similar to that of an IPA with a dry bitterness coupled with fruity and grassy hoppy notes. Not for the faint of heart. Drink if you dare. 6.1% abv, 50 IBUs.

Tasting on november 25: off-white head that fades quickly. Extremely black with hoppy, dry taste and bitter aftertaste.

-Brewed this beer 5-6 times, with small variations, found this to be my favorite thus far. Turns out good every time.

Force carb or use 80-100g sugar for priming.

Notes: Batch#3 - Kviek IPA - 19/8/19 - Eff. 63%
- Swapped yeast for wlp518 Opshaug Kveik Ale Yeast (Vault Strain), strike temp 72C up from 69C. (See photo)
- Kept grain & hop bill the same, added extra yeast nutrient (1.5 tsp instead of 1) for Kviek yeast.
- Ferm. Temp set to 32.5C, dry pitched single vial of yeast at 28C and let it warm.
- Bubbling super hard after 12 hours, fruity aroma cleaning up from a little funky.
22/8/19 - SG: 1018 (after 4 days!), Ferm died off a day ago, smells slightly funky with a real juicy hit. Dry hopped with single charge (3x45g). Ferm temp dropped to 22C for dry hop.
28/8/19 - FG: 1017, cold crashed.
30/8/19 - Kegged
22/9/19 - (Photo) Funky stone fruit aroma, hazy bright orange gold colour, creamy white head, bitter orange citrus finish, people liked it. Should make again for summer.
4/10/19 - Finished keg, still quite fruity flavoured with a big lingering orange and lemon, juicy AF, a good summer beer that I'd make again.

Batch #2 - 19/8/18 (Worst brew day ever, so many fuck ups)
- Swapped from S04 to White Labs Hazy Days (Not listed so selected similar yeast {London Fog}) Best before Aug 18 so used a 1.3L starter with 1/8th tsp yeast nutrient and 2/3 cup DME stirred for 24 hrs.
- Changed salts to suits NEIPA (3g Gypsum, 2g Epsom, 10 CaCl)
- Cut mash to 45 min as some grain missed the bag and had to try and filter it from the water (didn't get it all), strike temp dropped by 2C to 69C.
- Boil time cut to 45 minutes
- Fermented out hard and fast, had a slight bubble over but was using a blow off tube (thanks past me).
26/8/18 - Dry hopped with one big charge (3x50g) instead of two seperate ones (because I forgot).
6/10/18 - Kicked the keg, still tasting pretty fruity, not bad.

Batch #1 - 25/3/18
- Salts (5g Gypsum, 3g Calcium chloride)
- (x2) S04 substituted for Wyeast 1318 London Ale lll.
- elaborate 3 step flame out hop addition simplified to 1 late and 1 flame out.
- rehydrated x2 yeasts in 250ml, nutrient and 8g of DME on stir plate for 3hr
- 50% efficiency is low
28/3/18 - dry hopped first addition 60g
2/4/18 - Second dry hop in sock
28/4/18 - Tasted quite fruity with tropical juice hints. Poured only mildly cloudy, very tasty with a pine finish.
