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: Double batch was brewed on 12-31-16.
Boil kettle #1 - 10 gal Mega Pot
Boil kettle #2 - 7 gal stainless steel pot
Additional water was added to the pre-boil pot to compensate for losses in evaporation and absorption. We were shooting for roughly a 6-8% loss in water volume during the boil process.
The cascade hops were added at the 55 minute mark or 5 min boil time instead of 10 min. We wanted to retain more of the hop essential oils and aromas in the wort.
The beer had quite a bit of sediment/trub in the pot as we experienced a few clogged hoses and a clogged pickup tube during the racking process from the boil kettle to the fermenter. Most of the sludge was due to hop material that had absorbed liquid wort. Next time it would be worth the effort to contain the hops in a cheesecloth bag or some type of strainer vessel.
10 gal brew pot #1 had additional water added after the boil to bring up the volume to roughly 5 gal. Not sure why there was a significant difference between pot #1 and pot #2 with regard to water losses during the boil. Perhaps pot #1 had a more vigorous boil.
Post-boil gravity was 1.075 in a 70 degree room.
Racked beer to keg on 1-22-17. Initial tasting was excellent. |

Notes: Muntons Wheat DME is 55% Wheat, 45% Barley Malt
Using the above assumptions, fermentable quantities adjusted to achieve ~20% Wheat Malt.
After first 24 hrs of fermentation, raise temp. to 78-80 deg F.
Submitted bottle for pre-qualification tasting for 2015 Indian Valley Beer festival homebrew competition. Out of 25 entries, was 1 of 12 chosen to go to the event.
BJCP beer judges comments:
Farmhouse beer, a lot of carbonation, fantastic spicey character, almost too spicey for a Grisette. Doesn't taste table strength. Good heavy minerality. Exemplifes the yeast character well. Mineraly astringent finish. A little chalky. Overall good.
Turned out great! Won 1st place Popular vote and 1st place Judge's vote at 2015 Indian Valley "Brews for Books" Beer Festival. |
