Notes: Lower steep/mash temp (148-150) should get you a lower dryer gravity
Add belgian candi syrup before the boil, taking kettle off heat. Another clone i read used D-180.
Add DME just before boil to avoid boil over.
Yeast Temps: Style suggests starting an abbey yeast at 64f up to 68f for 48hrs to minimize fusels. At 1/3 sugar break move it to 74-78f. The yeasts could increase to these temps on its own also. This is something I will attempt by moving out of my basement to warmer rooms at about 1.046 gravity or sooner. Update: Mine took about 4 days to hit 1/3 then I moved it to a 70f room.
Wyeast 1762 is supposed to be the Rochefort Yeast. White Labs WLP540 is also Rochefort. Other alternatives; Wyeast 3787 or 1214
Mount Hood is an Alternate for Hersbrucker hops with a higher AA. Reduce by about half. From .5oz to .2 oz. You could instead remove the 60min Styrian. This would keep the IBUs from overpowering the style.
Take note of higher priming sugar. Style suggests higher volume. 2.5-3 vols
Bottle condition recommendations are longer. Minimum 6 weeks, but better at 2 months.
Update: Fermentation smells like banana about 7 days in and after I had moved it to a 72f room.
Update!: This recipe works! It taste near close to a proper Trappist Rochefort. After 6 weeks aged I smell banana, its strong but sweet covers it up, its a perfect dry. Letting it age took the edge off. |

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. |

Notes: Trying to replicate the super-delicious Insubordination Pale Ale from Elysian Brewing Co. Described as using Chinook and Centennial for bittering then Simmcoe and Citra for finishing.
Gonna do a stir-plate starter with one smack pack of yeast. Get some dry yeast as a backup.
Have oxygen stone for aeration.
Initial boil volume should be just right for a 5.5 gal batch.
Had to substitute Amarillo for Citra. |

Notes: Modified an Kona Castaway clone All-Grain recipe for Extract plus steeping grain. The final specs for the brew closely match those of the All-Grain recipe, however I modified them to reduce the ABV to a more likable 5.6% vice the 6.4% ABV of the All-Grain recipe. Kona website says their Castaway is 6.0% ABV. Also added a bit of 60 L Crystal to the 20 L called for in the All-Grain recipe, to bring the SRM to 10. No comment re: SRM on the Kona site. Also, increased the fermentation volume to 6 gallons to net 5 gallons for bottling in view of dry hopping which always has a bunch of waste due to hop trub. The hops specified on the Kona site, were the ones I used. Adjusted boil volume to allow the hop quantities specified in the All-Grain recipe to hit the Kona-specified 50 IBU.
So, except for the lower ABV, this ought to taste a lot like Kona's Castaway. |

| Notes: An IPA with primarily Galaxy hops (citrus, peach, passion fruit), backed up by some El Dorado (tropical fruit, pear, watermelon, citrus). Simple light LME base, with 4% vienna malt steeped to add a touch more malt flavour to offset the hops. No crystal or caramel malt, to allow the hops to shine through. Almost all hopes added 10 minutes, whirplool or dry hopped. |

Notes: I created a culture of bugs from the dregs of bottles of Jolly Pumpkin Calabaza Blanca, Jolly Pumpkin La Roja, and Lindemans Framboise Lambic prior to racking by a solution of 2 cups water to one half cup DME. The scent was acidic with a small pellicle growing atop.
The day prior, I boiled peaches, then pureed them using my ninja blender. I then placed them in the refrigerator in sanitized jars.
Rack onto peaches and toasted french oak chips as you approach FG. Add your yeast culture. Swirl carboy contents and let sit for 6 months.
**UPDATE - 8/ 15 /15 Tasted Approximately 2 months after adding peaches. The peach flavor is null, however, the sour is present. Next time I will use apricot as I hear it is better used for that stone fruit flavor. At this point in time, the beer is very well balanced and tasty with mild sourness. I hope the sour will grow. Beer is a nice orangey / brown color.
11/23/15 - Bottled. FG of 1.004. Damn, this is amazing. I believe this beer is about 7%abv |
