Notes: Yeast Starter: 1 cup DME, pinch of yeast nutrient, and 1000mL of water. Next time use 3/4 cup DME for lower gravity starter. When making yeast starter, I shook the White Labs vile up before pouring into starter. This caused the yeast to explode out of the tube when opened and gushed everywhere. Half of the yeast was lost and not added to the starter. Fermenting after 24 hours at 68F sitting on beach towel in closet and wrapped in towel. Airerated wort by using strainer over funnel into carboy, this caused bubbles to foam up while racking. Use Ferm cap S next time before racking.
Bottled on 1/12/15 FG 1.010 = 3.93% ABV
5-gal Big Mouth Carboy Volume
Krausen line was at kink where big mouth starts transitioning to neck. This yielded 4.3 gal @ bottling
4.3 gal filled (13) 22oz and (18) 12 oz bottles |

Notes: We couldn't find hazelnut extract so we converted the amount of sugar in Torani's Hazelnut syrup and primed with it.
If you have hazelnut extract use 1-2 oz. added to bottling bucket, and prime with corn sugar or DME as usual.
This turned out really nice with a slight hazelnut finish. |

Notes: Mash, Boil, cool wort then in a separate pot boil a small amount of wort and add the coco powder. The coco is partly hydrophobic so you need to boil it to get it mixed properly, watch out for boil over because the coco makes a foamy mess. Dont boil for longer than necessary for coco to mix into solution, longer will result in bitter taste. Add the coco mixture to the cooled wort.
Vanilla beans may be a substitute for extract, take care to note that the bean has much more flavor than the extract.
ferm at 60F, rest at 70 after 4 weeks for about a week. Drop to lager temp to get coco and haze out. Not all coco will fall out.
Ive brewed this a few times and its on par with the flavor of a New Belgian Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip cookie dough with a little more mouth feel and much darker color.
Cheers! |

Notes: Pumpkin 5 lb (shallow baking pan with little water @325 x 1hr or @300 x 2hr)
either steep with grains @ 150-155 degrees for 1 hr & sparge
* or add to boil for more flavor & body
If adding pumpkin to boil, steep grains for only 30 min @ 150-155.
Spring water 3.5 gal initial boil. Sanitize fermenter/carboy with Saniclean. Save sanitizer for hydrometer, spatula, & air lock.
Steep grains for 30 min at 155-160F (158).
Add bittering hops (not in bag), bring to boil, & boil for 30 min.
After 30 min boil, add pumpkin (not in bag), flavoring hops (not in bag), & boil 30 min.
With 10 min left in boil, add irish moss & yeast nutrient (if using).
With 5 min left, add spices & strainer (to sanitize).
End of boil add vanilla.
Cool wort with ice (3 10lb bags) in garden tub stirring ice 1 way & wort counter. Add frozen spring water (1 gal in 2 small amounts from 2 plastic containers that were sanitized prior to water being added). After cooling to 60F, aerate well then pour into fermenter through sanitized strainer & QS to 5 gal with refrigerated / room temp spring water dropping temp to 65F.
Check OG with SANITIZED hydrometer & pitch yeast. Dry yeast should be suspended in 100ml of water @ ~85F for 15 min.
Leave in garden tub with water in closet at 66F (or minimal recommended fermentation temp), after 48 hr active fermentation with temp @ 66F, slowly let temp increase to 72F max (or max 3 degrees less than recommended fermentation temp). After 10-14 days, transfer to 2nd fermenter or keg. Have blow out tube ready @36 hr. Total fermentation/lager time 4 weeks.

Notes: This one has been good all summer, VERY carbonated now (Sept), and it's absolutely delicious. Another favourite among my friends, not overly hoppy (which is fine for both the style and the season).
This one carbonated well and was tasty after 2 weeks! |

Far too bitter after the initial fermentation so removed 2.5l (for testing!) and added the 2kg crystal 60 by making a mash yeilding approx 3l of liquid.
see what happens now!
another week of settling/final fementation - final gravity 1.016 ABV approx 7.1% |
