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: Bit of an experiment!
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% |

Notes: Weight of Apple Juice is Approximately 8.75 lb/ gal.
PPG of Apple Juice was adjusted to get to OG of ~45 where most AJ lives.
Ed's Apfelwein uses Corn Sugar, but I prefer the caramel-y additions of brown sugar. |

Notes: Add 2 tsp of Gypsum to water, based off starting with DC water.
The recipe released from the White House has an error, they mention 1.5 oz of Fuggle in the list of ingredients, but then only 0.5 oz in the instructions. I went with 1.5 oz here.
The instructions are also a little weird in terms of the boil times. They say 'add the honey and boil for 5 more minutes'. So, actually it is a 50 minute boil, not a 45 minute boil.
Other than that, it is a straight forward extract batch.
To get it to qualify as an Amber Ale, had to set the IBU equation to Rager, and the SRM equation to Daniels. I'm open to suggestions on the style (haven't tasted it). |
