Notes: 3.3 lbs honey
1.5 oz. dried hibiscus petals
1 oz. juniper berries
water to 1 gallon
Bread yeast (boiled to make yeast nutrient)
Lalvin EC-1118 (Wine yeast, for fermenting)

Bring 3/4 gallons of water to a boil. Crack the juniper berries, then add them to the water. Add the hibiscus petals. Let steep for 30 minutes. Ladle off a bit into a small glass, and add some honey. Use that to rehydrate the EC-1118.
Ladle off another portion into a small pot. Rehydrate the bread yeast, then bring to a strong boil. Add the honey to the jar. Grab an extra pitcher, and strain the juniper-hibiscus mix into it. Add the mix to the jar.

By now everything should be cool. Add the boiled bread yeast to the jar. Add the hopefully now foamy EC-1118 to the jar. Measure the gravity, and adjust with honey or water to 1.120.

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.
