Notes: This is just a 2.5 gallon batch to prepare a big yeast cake of wlp 099 for an american barleywine. Should be an easy drinking pale ale like brew. I have not made an extract brew since my first brew. Should be interesting..
Strangely this beer finished at SG 1.022 !
Perhaps the DME used was not good and fully fermentable. Bottled on 10/24 with 1.7 oz of cane sugar
%ABV 3.6%
note that barley wine used with this yeast cake is actively fermenting so nothing happened to the yeast. this should have dried out! |

Notes: ENZIPA - English New Zealand Pale Ale
Typical beer of the NZPA variety using English malt, English Yeast and all NZ hops. Quite proud of for my first attempt. Single fermentation cycle, left for 2 weeks and 3 days before adding dry hop pellets. Bottled after 3 weeks.
Ended up (unintentionally) tasting very similar to Kauri Falls Pale Ale by Hot Water Brewing Co.
Will be making again! |

Notes: Belgian Candi Sugar is Demerara Sugar.
Steep grains UNDER 170F.
Preboil for 5 minutes before first hop addition.
Add yeast nutrient before pitching yeast.
First yeast should be a strong ale yeast. Aerate very well after pitching (aquarium pump for 1 hour).
After vigorous fermentation slows down (8-10 days), alternate between 1oz pure cane sugar and 1oz Demerara sugar additions every day for 5 days straight.
A few days after primary fermentation slows down, transfer into secondary carboy that has the Cascade hop addition and add the super high gravity yeast . Aerate very well (aquarium pump for 1 hour).
Continue to add sugar additions each day for the next 5 days (including this day you transfered). Secondary fermentation should last 1-3 weeks.
2 weeks after all fermentation activity subsides, beer is ready to package. Add champagne yeast at bottling. While transferring beer into bottling bucket, us a cup of beer to dissolve champagne yeast and add to bottling bucket with priming sugar in 1 cup water.
Beer ready to drinnk after 3 weeks. Age well, over a year. |

Notes: - Brewed on 22 June 18
- Scraped wild yeast from 2 x petri dishes (very funky!) that had been sitting for approx. 2 months undisturbed...no idea on weight/volume of yeast...rehydrated in about 1/4 cup of sterilized water. House is kept at 71 degrees but the experiment is being kept in the pantry which gets a little warmer due to outside wall...probably 75 degrees avg.
- Once pitched, no activity for 24 hours, then vigorous fermentation for about 12 hours, then no visible fermentation for 24 hours (may have been a loose seal), then fermentation restarted and has been going slowly since (today is 4 July). Hints of banana with a little funk...not unpleasant.
- Once fermentation appears to cease I will take a gravity reading, wait 3 days and measure again. If no change, and calculates to at least 5% ABV I will bottle, charge, and wait 2 weeks before tasting. If below 5% I will add a 1/4 teaspoon of Safale US-05 to see if fermentation restarts.
- Took a gravity reading 7 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). Got a better whiff...quite a pleasant smell.
- Took a gravity reading 15 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The appears yeast is settling out because the beer is now very clear. I added a very small amount of Safale US-05 to see if it would finish up any residual sugars. I took a chance and put 4-5 drops on my tongue...great flavor...hints of pepper. Reminds me of a saison. If there are any residual sugars I expect the added yeast to begin work within 24 hours. I will take a final gravity reading and bottle next week.
- Took a gravity reading 18 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The addition of the Safale US-05 did not appear to spark any additional fermentation. So I added 2 oz of honey directly to the beer...not sure how smart this is, but I swished it around to dissolve the honey. This time, once fermentation stops I will take a gravity reading and bottle immediately. Still smells great.
- 19 Jul 18: 24 hours and no indication of activity. There may not be enough oxygen for the yeast so I'm going to do something else I'm not sure is such a good idea...I'm going to oxygenate the beer for about 5 secs to see if that gets anything going. |
