Notes: EDIT 2/20/07: Please do not PM me with questions on this recipe. Post them to this thread. I get way too many questions that are already answered within this long thread, so consider reading the entire thing (or using the Search function) prior to posting.
Here's the final recipe that I'm brewing RIGHT NOW.
Malts
3 pounds extra light DME
3 pounds light wheat DME
1 pound Caramel 60L (steeped for 45 minutes at 150'-165')
Hops
1oz Cascade for bittering (60 minutes)
.5oz Saaz for flavor (20 minutes)
.5 oz Tettnang for aroma (end of boil)
Yeast
Wyeast German Ale
Extras
1 tsp Irish Moss (10 minutes)
4oz Lactose @ 15 minutes
2 oz real vanilla extract
Priming
>1cup Lactose
4oz vanilla (Be careful! This may be too much vanilla for some people.)
1.5 cups light DME
I'm adding the Lactose in the last 15 minutes of the boil. I'll add the vanilla in the primary, because I don't want to risk losing any that bonds to the trub. So far, it smells fantastic but I'm still at the bittering hops boil. I think this should end up with a nice caramel flavor and a good hint (perhaps a suggestion size amount) of vanilla. I've had vanillas with way too much flavor and they tasted too much like candy. This should have a decent balance.
Notes: 11/4/05
So good. Can't even explain it - you simply must make this beer. I let it prime for almost 2 weeks before fridging it, then cracked one tonight after only about 30 hours. Great head, good lace, nice color, good body and nose. Pictures won't do it justice, but here's one anyways

Notes: Recipe adjusted for bottling i.e. OG left 5 points below required to allow for extra provided by bottling sugar. Same applies to ABV - adjusted for extra 0.5% at bottling.
Briess Pils malt used but Extra Lite shown in recipe for higher PPG.
Minimash with 0.375kg of LME at 67 degrees for 45 mins. This high mash temp is to get mouthfeel be retaining some of the low temp sugars. Check OG after mash. Mash OG 1 point below.
2 + 1 litre ice and some chilled water required to quick chill wort.
Aerate wort with air stone for 10 minutes. Yeast enzyme in boil.
Overfilled fermenter by 0.5L and missed 1062OG.
Fresh pack of Abbaye Yeast used. Pitched at 16-17c on 30 August. Kept low for 2-3 days and then allowed to increase to 19c and then moved to warmer kitchen after 6-7 days.
Racked to secondary on 9 September.
Bottled 19 September 2015. |

Notes: My first beer I designed all on my own over three years ago. Turned out not too bad. Kept a real nice head (didn't realize not to add so much wheat) with good body and a clean finish. Light hop aroma and not overly bitter. A repeatedly drinkable beer. Good for lawnmowing and thirstquenching. |
