Notes: This beer should have a slight cidery character from the cane sugar, that's by design. It is also more hoppy than most American Cream Ale's more along the lines of an English Bitter. The specific hops are not critical, but I always use one high-alpha hop in conjunction with a finishing hop.
I put this into growlers with a low CO2 rate about 1.5 volumes which works out to 1/2 Tbsp cane sugar per 64oz growler to keep them from exploding. After a week or two they are ready.
Quick, cheap, easy to make and easy to drink. Its my table beer. |

Notes: We used hazelnut extract (2-1 oz. bottles) added to bottling bucket, and prime with corn sugar or DME as usual.
This seems to be way too much extract. (Bakto Flavors - Hazelnut Flavoring) The hazelnut finished seemed harsh. Use less next time.

Notes: Dutch Pilsner take on the WW Advanced Lord Nelson Recipe.
Replaced the APA cans and US-05 yeast for:
2 x WW LME Dutch Pilsner (Each LME Can adds 22 IBU and and 3 SRM - so recipe totals are 59.7 IBU's and 12.2 SRM)
100gm Pellet hops steeped for 200gm Pellet Hops steeped for 30 minutes at 75C.
3 x S-23 Yeast
Ferment at 15 degrees for 3 days
Then 18 degrees for 3 days
Then 21 degrees for 2 days for diacetyl rest
2 days after crash cool and sediment bottle dump to remove most of the yeast matter, drop pressure and add 100gms dry hops and leave for 2 days before dumping sediment
Pitched yeast when wort was too hot - ~30C, which killed the yeast, so no fermentation.
36 hours later, dumped trub and dead yeast. Rehydrated 3 x S-23 yeast and repitched. |

Notes: Make a yeast starter by stirring yeast, nutrient, and 1 Tbsp dextrose in 1 cup of water in a sanitized container. Cover and shake until dissolved.
Heat 3 gallons of water to 120 degrees, turn off heat and add honey, potassium carbonate, and lemon peels. Stir until honey is dissolved. Rack to primary fermenter and cool to room temp.
Pitch yeast once must falls below 80 degrees. Agitate heavily for 3-5 minutes and airlock.
Repeat agitation several times over the course of the next 24 hours.
At first sign of fermentation, add 1 tsp each of nutrient and DAP.
Repeat 2 days later.
Wait for fermentation to stop (aprox 3 weeks) and rack to secondary.
*at this time, you can add any fruit/spice/herb if desired (make sure to boil it!)
Leave mead to age in secondary for 2 months. Rack to bottling bucket, bottle and age for a minimum of 6 months. |
