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.

Strike temp 157.5 F with 7 gals and all grain. Starting mash temp 153.2. 152.0 F at 15 min, pH 4.9, added 1/2 tsp CaCO3. Temp boost at 30 min. Total mash time 60 min. Raise temp to 165F and remove spent grain.

Starting boil volume ~6.2 gal. Boil 75 min. Finishing hops added after flameout and whirlpool, ~10 min.

Final volume in fermenter 4.75 gal. Siphon did not hold draining the boiling kettle, dumped everything into the fermenter (SS brew bucket). Cooled with immersion coil in fermenter.

Oxygenate and pitch yeast at 64F. Original gravity 1.058.

Bottled after 2 weeks in fermenter. Yeast settles slowly in the bottle. Must bottle condition for 2 weeks, then add a week with bottles in fridge to lager in the bottle. Decant carefully, yeast sentiment is settled loosely at bottom of bottle.

With a clean pour, the beer is very clear and clean with light noble hop aroma and character. Oats add a unique dimension to the malt character.

Notes: made this with black barley (500L) but designed the recipe with 500g of roasted barley (300L). Oops. But it's delicious! Will make again. And I've already created an imperial version.

updated recipe: changed 500g black barley to 400g to keep within style.

Notes: This is a 2.8 Gal (10 Liter) recipe 1.25 qt + 10 oz per pound of grains = 8.5 qt in the mash. Sparge is 7 qt for a total of 3.875 gallons.

My post boil OG on this was 1.060 (refractometer) using this exact recipe and that's what the original recipe called for. This is a DIY clone of Northern Brewer Lemondrop Saison

Fermentation Schedule: 2 weeks in a single vessel fermenter. Started Fermentation at 65 (f) and ramped up to 70 degrees (f) over the course of the two week fermentation. With FG at 1.002 i purged carboy with CO2 and lagered for 6 weeks then bottle conditioned for another 3-4 weeks.

Notes: Sirupen tilsettes etter 30 min koking.

Alle tillsetningene 5 min før kokeslutt tilsettes i en humle pose og løftes over i gjæringskaret etter tillsettingen av gjæren, løftes ut etter 48 timer.

Sirupen som står beskrevet er ikke den som ble brukt.
Den som ble brukt er vanlig brun sirup som man får kjøpt på de fleste matbutikker
