Notes: Bohemian Pilsner take on the WW Advanced Lord Nelson Recipe.
Replaced the APA cans and US-05 yeast for:

250gm Pellet hops steeped for 30 minutes at 75C.
3 x M84 Yeast
Ferment at 15 degrees for 3 days
Then 18 degrees for 3 days
Then 21 degrees for 2 days for diacetyl rest
2 days after crash cool and sediment bottle dump to remove most of the yeast matter, drop pressure and add 100gms dry hops and leave for 2 days before dumping sediment

Notes: With Orange Zest and Ginger
Go-Ferm should be added in the rehydration water of the active dried yeast prior to the yeast addition itself. performance, maintain a ratio of 1 part yeast to 1.25 part Go-Ferm.
Fermaid K is best added at 1/3 of sugar depletion at a rate of 2 lb/1000 gal. Fermaid K should be hydrated before adding to an active fermentation to avoid CO2 release and overflowing of tanks or barrels. |

Notes: "Greg's Classic Stout"
*Didn't have enough hops so boiled for 30 mins with only 1.5kg malt extract, then another 60mins with the rest. This will bring it up to 60 IBU.
Surprisingly, a classic stout! If you like dark beer but shy away from the tanginess of Guiness, this brew is sure to peak your interest.
Don't use jet black roasted barley. Look for a deep dark brown colour roasted barley. Black or chocolate malt is no substitute when making a "classic" stout. Steep grains at 66-70 for 45 mins. Not expecting much conversion... it's mainly for body, flavour, freshness, colour and head retention.
Add gypsum for 60min boil (or don't add it).
Use English hops (such as Northern Brewer, Goldings, Fuggles)
Use Irish Ale type yeast (or English ale if you must). Aerate wort very well.
Enjoy within 3-4 weeks from brew day.
Consider swapping out some dark malt extract for additional head retention malt. |

Notes: 250g crystal malt steeped in 1 litre of water. Boil litre of water then leave to cool for 10 mins then leave grains to steep in water for 35 minutes.
Start boil of 12.5 litres of water in time to add 1.5 lite of steeped grains, 2 kg light DME and 10 g Chinook.
Problems with stove trying to keep heat at boil. Eventually kept hob on dial 5 throughout boil which kept a consistent boil without boil over.
Side note. Using 17 g of yeast as had 5.5 left in a pack to use up.
At flame out let the wort sit for 5 mins then add 15g hops. Let stand for a further 17mins then add to cold water for 12mins and add further 16g hops. Replace water and let wort stand in cold water for a further 7 mins then add to fer-mentor and pitch yeast.
Side note: put finger in wort and tried. Wort tasted pretty sharp and bitter.
Cooling taking longer than expected in sink for this amount of wort so drained water in sink after 5 mins and by half and filled back up with cold water while wort stood in sink. did the same at 10 mins and let stand for a further 2mins in fresh cold water before adding last whirlpool hop addition.
Like a complete duff I added 1 litre of warm tap water and 2 litres of cold tap water to the fermentor to get down to temp.
Put back in water bath before pitching yeast. pitched yeast at about 34 degrees as couldn't cool in time for restaurant reservation. Better time management next time!
Checked the fermentor the next morning and nothing really happening. Moved the fermentor about a bit and a couple of bubbles from the top tube happening. Later that day things started happening and fermenting under way. Temperature seems to be holding at about 19 to 20 degrees in cupboard at high level.
6 days fermenting and bubbling almost stopped. Dry hopping in the primary fermentor which I will leave for a further 5 days until bottling.
Decided to rack off 5 litre's into a Carboy and dry hop to see if there is a difference in taste to the brews.
Dry hopps for Carboy use quantities above /3 so:
Motueka = 28/3 = 9g in Secondary and 19 in primary.
Cascade =10/3 = 4g in Secondary and 6g in primary.
Successful sparge to secondary fermentor using new 15 litre fermentor with tap. Tried beer at this stage. A little more bitter than expected but tastes pretty good after 6 days fermenting with decent amount of hoppiness but still needs that aroma hop burst and flavour which I'm hoping the dry hopping will give. |

Notes: Proof yeast minimum 2 hours prior to pitching. Proofing should be done in one and a half cups reserved and chilled wort.
Proof yeast at 72 - 74 degrees. Once proofed, pitch into 68 degree wort.
When gravity drops to 1.014, rack to secondary to finish for minimum 7 days. Can be kegged or bottle conditioned.
NOTE: This recipe is for SIX GALLON BATCH! If scaling down to 5 gallon, cut Perle hops to 2.5 oz, and Saaz to 2 oz.
EDIT 11/02/17: And its official! This AltBier took Third Place at the Bruce Street Brewfest in Sevierville, TN, on October 14th, 2017.
See attached photo of the Bronze Medal and Scoresheet. :-) (Please pardon the cell phone pic of the medal....took it in my store. Medal hangs just above the yeast selections...) |
