Notes: Batch #2 - 7/10/18 - 54% Efficiency (Brewed for Golden Prop)
Trying to throw a little more flavour at this one, possibly adding passionfruit for dry hop, upped salt to 12g from 11g and Indian coriander seeds to 15g from 14g.
- Mash extended to 40 min from 30.
- Dry pitched x2 packs of yeast
14/10/18 - Fermented hard at the start for 4 days. SG: 1012, tasted fruity and light.
16/10/18 - Added 10ml of Lactic acid (88%) down from 12ml in #1, to account for 15ml of Mangrove Jacks Passionfruit beer flavour (50ml recommend).
17/10/18 - Tastes mildly of passionfruit and moderate bitterness, cold crashed.
19/10/18 - Added another 5ml of lactic before force carbing.
20/10/18 - Could do with a touch more passionfruit, seemed popular with people at the event. The keg was finished.

Batch #1 - 49% Efficiency (No passionfruit in this batch)
- Used dry yeast (K-97) x2, instead of Wyeast 1007, dry pitched at 21C and aerated
- Added lactic acid post ferm instead of using Wyeast 5335 (Lacto.)
- Gladfield German Pilsner Malt & Gladfield Wheat Malt used
- Aiming for pH 3.2 finish with acid Lactic 88% additions, will check with pH meter
- Cut boil time to 30 min from 60 min.
- Cut mash to 35 min from 60 min.
- Fermented out very hard early and died down a bit after about 4 days.
12/9/18 - Upped temp to 19.5C
14/9/18 - SG: 1010 Cloudy and dull it doesn't look flash, smells ok with a hint of fruit, tastes quite mildly fruit and a bit thin. Interested to see what the acid will do to it.
16/9/18 - Added 12ml of 88% lactic acid.
17/9/18 - Tasted mildly acidic, cleared nicely, cloudy pale straw colour, decided not to add anymore acid (will use pH meter next time).
7/10/18 -

Notes: Clone of SweetWater 420 Extra Pale Ale. The ingredient list comes from their website, which says "2 Row, Munich, Wheat, Midnight Wheat", hopped with "Centennial, Cascade", and dry hopped with "Cascade".

It's funny that they describe it as a "West Coast style Extra Pale Ale", because as far as I've seen in the few years I've lived on the West Coast after coming from Atlanta, everything here is MUCH hoppier. I think that's what makes 420 such a favorite: it's hoppy enough to be interesting, but not so hoppy that it repels people who don't like strongly hopped beers.

Notes: BIAB Procedure

Brew365 says strike temp should be 164. Based on last time, I might adjust downward to 160 to reach mash temp of 152. Edit: I didn't factor in mash thickness. Last time, I had a mash thickness of 1.9 qts/lb! Way too high, no wonder the temp didnt drop as much. This time, I am shooting for 1.5, so the calculator should be accurate.

Parameters:
Batch size 3.2 g
Trub loss 0.3 g
Mash thickness 1.5qts/lb
Grain temp 70 f
Wort shrinkage 4%
Grain absorption 0.1g/lb
Boil off 15%

1. Start with strike water of 8.5L (2.25G) @ 163F.
2. Put in 6 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 152F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.1G/lb, should end up with 1.65G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 10L (2.6G) 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 4.3G of pre-boil wort.
8. Begin boil as usual, adding 1oz of Saaz @ 60 minutes.
9. Add spices @ 5 minutes.

I should end up with about 3.6G of post-boil wort. Accounting for trub loss (0.3G) and wort shrinkage (0.14G), I should end up with 3.2G in bottles.

Recipe

Simple blonde ale recipe, actually given to me by OBK. I am a little worried about CaraFoam taking up 16% of the grist, but I don't have time to go out and buy other grains. It might be a little sweet, with really good head retention. We'll see.

Only one hop addition so the spices are the main focus. Same with the yeast - very neutral and clean yeast.

Apparently a little bit of cardamom goes a long way, so I wont use that much in the boil. Coriander and bitter orange peel are for balance and fruitiness, which I think Mom will like. After primary fermentation, I will add more cardamom and other spices if I feel the aroma isn't quite there.

Pitched yeast @ 23C. Swamp Cooler water read 22C. OG of 1.058. Adjusted for temp thats 1.059. Wow. That's a brewhouse efficiency of 85%. Now it should be 5.5%....I'm not complaining.

Brew date: 07/17.

07/24: Gravity read 1.016 - it has finished fermentation! It is a nice straw yellow colour. Notes of cardamom and citrus on the nose. Also rather grassy. Tastes like a sweeter version of blonde ale. Maybe too sweet...hopefully that dies down. Overall, it tastes like this could be a really good beer for Mom. I won't add anything to the bucket for aroma. This will be my first time cold crashing as well.

07/29: Bottling Day

I accidentally froze the bucket. I'm not sure how this will affect the beer/carbonation levels, but for now, I have just let it thaw at room temp. Given the fact that I cold crashed, some of the C02 that was in the headspace may have been re-absorbed into the beer. To make 2.4 Volumes of C02 with 2.7 G of beer @ 68F, the calculator says to add 2.24 oz of corn sugar. I will round this down to an even 2.0 oz to make sure I dont over-carb, which has been a problem in the past.

Oops, not enough corn sugar left. Will use table sugar instead. I think I will actually have 2.8G of beer, so I will boil 2.1 oz of table sugar to make 2.4 Volumes of Co2.

2.6 gallon to bottle - 0.6 gallons of trub loss!?!

First bottle on 08/07 - 7 days conditioning and 2 days in fridge. Obviously not fully carbed yet. It shows with no head, although some bubbles. Aroma is just about where I want it. The taste is a little sweeter than I wanted - probably because of the extra carafoam. Dry would have been preferred. It is quite refreshing when super cold though, great for a summer beer. Note: This is bottle marked "1", which means that it was one of the first 4 to be bottled.
