Notes: 1.75 L starter made w/ 3 vials whitelabs munich helles 860.
Actual OG 1.051
Cooled w/ wort chiller to 65, racked to carboy and chilled further in chest freezer to 45 (achieved 7 hours later). Aerated and pitched the decanted (chilled) starter. Let temp slowly rise. Krausen activity 24-30 hours later @ 48 degrees. Hit 50 degrees about 36 hours after pitching. Hold at 50.
Down to 1.023 on day 5. Bumped temp up a degree.
Day 6 bumped temp to 53.
1.016 on day 8 and bumped up to 60. sample tasted good. No diacetyl as far as I can tell. Still planning to keep it at 60 for a couple days before lagering, just to be safe.
Transferred to secondary and dropped temp a couple degrees a day until it hit 34. Kept it there 4 weeks, then bottled w/ corn sugar and a bit of washed yeast (probably not necessary).
06/13/14 (4 weeks in bottle) - The beer lacks the maltiness that I was expecting from a munich helles. It's actually pretty fruity, especially in a side by side comparison w/ Andechs Vollbier Hell. Not sure why. Maybe I didn't aerate it well enough, or perhaps I didn't lager it long enough. I enjoy drinking it, but it definitely has a more American flavor profile than I was hoping for. I thought the sample at bottling time was more malty, but can't be certain. KEEP BETTER NOTES!!! |

| Notes: Aiming for a Sussex style (Harveys) bitter. Adapted from the recipe suggested by dyqik on the homebrewtalk forum which is itself based on one from the jim's beer kits forum. Both are all grain recipes so I've adapted for extract and also adjusted the hops and timings slightly. Grains steeped in 6 litres at 65 to 70 degrees then topped up to 10 litres for the boil with half the malt extract added at this point and the rest at the end. Hence target IBUs should be higher than predicted here. Decided to try a fwh with some of the bramlings cross hops rather than steeping at the end as I've read this gives a better more balanced flavour and aroma. |

Notes: I have never used Zythos hops before, but thought I would give them a try as I received 6 oz. free from Williams Brewing.
Steeped crystal 40 at 155F for 25 min., then began boil. Bulk of extract was added as late addition.
I pitched onto half of the yeast cake from prior beer that I was bottling the same day. The yeast was one pack of Nottingham and one Wyeast 1272 Amer.Ale II.
Four weeks in primary, no secondary fermenter. Dry hopped with 2 oz. Zythos pellets for last 10 days. I just threw them in loose.
At bottling time the beer had a pleasant pineapple/citrus smell. Primed with 5 oz. of cane sugar.
Starting gravity was 1.073 and finished at 1.017
This was just a test of some zythos hops that I had and it turned out good, but not great. I would like a hoppier and less sweet beer so next time I will be making some changes. I will half the crystal and use something like magnum to bitter with and add some simcoe along with the zythos for flavor/aroma.
10 months later...this beer actually smoothed out and was pretty decent, too bad i was on my last bottle. |

Notes: Begynn med å varme opp 24 liter vann til ca. 70 grader i en stor kjele (bør være minst 30 liter). Sett boksene med flytende maltekstrakt i et bad med varmt vann (trenger ikke være glovarmt) ved siden av for å få maltekstrakten mer løselig og enklere å få ut av boksene. Når vannet i kjelen er varmet opp, rører du inn både den flytende og den tørkede maltekstrakten (DME/Spraymalt) til alt er oppløst i vannet og koker opp. La koke i 60 min og tilsett humle som beskrevet underveis.
Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.
Gjæring på 18 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager). Tørrhumle etter 5 dager.
Gjæralternativer: WLP001, WLP007, WLP008, WLP041, WLP051, WLP090, Danstar Nottingham |

| Notes: Inspiration was SN's Beer Camp Belgian Black IPA from Fall of 2013. Target FG should be much lower...toward .012 - .013. I would ferment at the low end for 3 - 5 days, then raise the temp to let the yeast shine through over another 10 days...once FG has been reached, dry hop for 5 - 7 days before bottling. |

Notes: This is an easy and delicious sweat cider. Here are the instructions:
• Buy 5 gal of fresh unfiltered cider (pasteurized)
• Buy 6 cans of Apple juice concentrate. (No preservatives or added sugar)
• Buy Yeast nutrient
• Buy Champaign yeast. I usually use 2 packs of the dry yeast because it only cost $ 0.75.
• Mix your cider, thawed apple juice concentrate, and yeast nutrient in a car boy. Make sure you start with the apple juice concentrate and top off with cider leaving room for fermentation at top of carboy.
• Mix well and take an OG reading.
• Shake really well for 2 mins and Pitch yeast.
• Seal with airlock and put in cool dark room for 7 days.
• Buy 5-6 more cans of apple juice concentrate and rack cider onto apple juice concentrate in bottling bucket.
• Mix well and bottle. (do not add any priming sugar) The apple juice concentrate acts as your priming sugar.
• Make sure you use proper sanitization throughout the all processes. (I use star no rinse sanitizer.)
• Bottle.
• Make sure to open a bottle every week to determine carbonation level. Once desired carbonation level is achieved refrigerate all bottles to stop carbonation.
