Notes: Added 4 3.5oz cans of PB2 to the batch. 3 at the end of the boil and 1 in primary fv.
Also used 2 FL Oz of natural peanut butter extract when kegging. Ended up VERY peanut butter heavy.

PB2 was almost unnoticed before 2 Oz added of FL extract

Notes: 10 lbs of honey, mixed vigorously with 4.5 gallons of water - new yeast nutrient (BSG), put 1 tsp during mixing, 1 more at 24 and final one at 48 hours. Starting gravity of 1.078, before I added the cranberries.

Notes: Easy to make, comes out clean and has a smooth body, somewhat dry

NOTES:

For yeast, I use 1 packet of Wyeast Cider Yeast 4766

Indian Summer Apple Cider is the preferred apple cider if using store bought. (Uses Vitamin C)

DIRECTIONS:
Add remaining apple cider to fermenter along with sugar. Oxygenate cider and add yeast packet. Stir together and cap.

Stir cider on second day to degass. Check gravity after 4 days, stir again to degass. Once stable, transfer to secondary, and let sit for an additional 2 weeks. Should be clear. After two weeks, add hops and dryhop for 7 days.

Cold crash for 24 hours, add to bottling bucket with dextrose priming sugar. Use priming calculator for exact amount.

Notes: 5lbs of Apple Juice is actually 5 gallons.

Haven't made this yet, just something I am experimenting with.

Planning on backsweetening with more apple juice and brown sugar and making a tea with the spices before adding to the keg.

Notes: 9/27/15: Created 1.3 liter starter of 1.023 wort, and added one vial of WLP-648 (Brett Drie) and dregs from Surly Pentagram (Brett Bruxellensis and Claussenii). Finished with an estimated 21 billion cells.

10/5/15: Stepped up with a 2.5 liter starter of 1.040 wort. Very fruity aroma, strong fermentation. Finished with an estimated 110 billion cells.

10/18/15: Stepped up with 3 liter starter of 1.040 wort. To finish with an estimated 319 billion cells.

10/28/15: Created a 1 liter 1.040 starter of OYL-605 (L. brevis and L. plantarum).

10/29/15: Brew day. Original gravity of 1.042 temperature corrected to 1.046. Very murky; trub from the Carapils? The high wheat content? Hopefully fermentation, time, and the brett will clean it up. Added 22mL lactic acid solution and pitched lacto starter around 11pm.

10/30/15: Pitched yeast and around 300mL of starter medium into wort ~24 hours after pitching lacto.

10/31/15: Fermentation slowly started, but about 24 hours after pitching yeast, a noticeable krausen had formed and was blowing off.

11/1/15: Krausen subsided, but vigorous fermentation still underway. Looks like the lactic acid didn't lower the pH sufficiently to prevent foam degradation from the lactobacillus.

11/9/15: Fermentation has slowed over the past three days, but there is still significant activity.

This is a basic video on how to harvest yeast from a previous batch of beer. All you need are some pint mason jars which you can get at Walmart or online at Amazon very cheaply. After you have a beer that is done fermenting leave all of the yeast cake at the bottle. Boil 4 mason jars for 15 mins. Remove the mason jars and fill them with the boiled water. Let them come to room temperature. At this point add the water from the 4 mason jars into the bucket with the yeast cake and swirl the bucket for about 30 seconds and then let it sit for 20 mins. After the 20 mins pour off the yeast sediment into the jars and then let them sit for about 1 hour. After the hour pour off the top layer of sediment in the jars into 2 additional mason jars. Try to pour off just the cloudy top layer and leave the trub behind. This is your final product. Make a yeast starter with the 2 jars you have harvested for better results.
