Notes: 3rd place in the "Carolina Quarterly Brew Off", specialty beer category. Awarded April 13, 2013.
Recipe was created for the wild card category of the brew contest... "beer with aromatic malt, turbinado sugar and cinnamon"
started with 2 gallons pre-boil. volume after boil was 0.8 gallons (lost 1.2 gallons to the boil.) Need to increase pre-boil volume to 2.75 gallons to end up with 1.5 gallons post-boil
measured OG was 1.080 after top-off
I will probably add a little wheat malt and/or oatmeal next time for a little more mouthfeel and head retention. Also suggest increasing (doubling?) the cinnamon, since I could not taste it. The 2 main "dings" on the scoresheet were
1. mouthfeel a little too thin.
2. cannot taste the cinnamon enough |

Notes: This is a clone of a favorite (Fresh Squeezed).
Mash temp 148f-150f should result in a more complete conversion to simple sugars for fermentation so its not such a heavy IPA.
For Fresh Hopped flavor:
In the hop listing we add Citra at 0 min flame out for aroma and flavor. Let it Hopstand (I used whirlpool for lack of option) for 10 mins to add the IBUs.
After fermentation (give it 2 weeks) dry hop with Citra + Mosaic for another 5 days.
Transfer to secondary and cold crash in the fridge (if you can fit it) for 2 days or more before priming and bottling. |

Notes: Mash steeping grains at 156 for 45 minutes because of the flaked grains
I kid you not this was fermented at 62 and kept there for 6 days before raising it to 65 (a big you must do)this yeast is best fermented cold
I did filter this with a 5/1 filter combo so it might have changed the color lighter than it would other wise
this was a huge success, great summer beer medium body golden in color and smooth as hell, gotta name this great summer beer Ozarks Golden Ale |

Notes: Produces a good tripel with just enough coriander notes.
Be warned, WPL530 is insane. I fermented 3+ gallons in a 6 gallon fermentor and at one point saw 2.5+ gallons of krausen buildup.
I maintained 68 - 70 deg throughout the fermentation, I saw about an 85% apparent attenuation, not the 77.5% referenced above.
Primed with 4 oz of corn sugar. However, after 2 weeks in the bottle carbonation could be called "weak". Clearly this brew would benefit from fresh priming yeast.
So, this turned out odder than I wanted. Excellent flavor at first, was somewhat sweeter than I wanted. Also a little darker. |

Notes: Ref: Wiki Beer in Wales, an approximation of 14th Century Wales Ale.
Grains limited to 8lbs in a 4g boiling pot.
Don't 'squeeze' the grain bag to avoid sharp flavors; this is a more "bread-y style" from the historical transition from mead(honey) to agriculture(grains). Add all grains in 3g water at 160f, wrap in blanket for 1-2hrs, stirring every 20mins or so...iodine test for "doneness".
Liquid extract in the last 10 minutes of boil to keep SRM lighter.
Primary fermentation just 5 days at 60F (wrapped in a blanket)
Rack to secondary (5 gallon bucket with sealed lid*) to lightly carbonate in this "cask".
* Lid modified with a pick-up tube and valve such that Ale can be lightly carbonated and pressurized in the plastic 5g bucket for DIRECT serving. Yeast will re-pressurize the "cask" (if you don't drain too much of it in one serving). Siphoning to a Growler is also good to have in the 'fridge. A syringe can be used to "fluff" the head of the Ale in a glass (this was popularized with Guinness Stout for a time) Allegedly, Guiness has some history in Wales.....wiki
Forgive the Carapils; it provides longer lasting 'head' to compensate for the low, natural cask carbonation level.
The "Brown" gains are to achieve the Minimum SRM, since color is often darker than estimated when I brew....

Notes: DON'T use M84. I had to do unspeakable things to this batch to hit a reasonable FG.
Could be that the extract was unfermentable, but the Bock I brewed simultaneously was full grain, and the M84 wasn't working on that one either. |
