Notes: A nice, light, yet deceptively strong IPA. Very good mouth feel, plenty of citrus from the Pilgrims and a good aroma from the EKGs.

Notes: Apple cider fermented with apple-ginger syrup, Belgian candi syrup and a Belgian Ale yeast. Finished with a bourbon-oak tincture.
Apple-Ginger syrup: boil down one gallon fresh apple cider and 4oz finely chopped/ground fresh ginger. Reduce until thick and syrupy, about 1-2 cups. As syrup reduces lower heat so you do not scorch. Should be sweet, sour and spicy. Add syrups to fresh cider.
- Add 1g/L Malic acid to lower pH by .1 as needed to reach 3.5 pH.
- Check pH and add potassium metabisulfite as needed for a partial kill (for more information see chart: www.cider.org.uk/sulphite.html).
- Stock solution SO2: dissolve 3 grams of potassium metabisulphite in 30 ml (also grams) of water which corresponds to 50 ppm of SO2 for a six gallon batch
- Wait 24 to 48 hours before adding pectic enzyme and pitching yeast.
- Primary fermentation: 4-5 weeks @ 59°
- Add 5 crushed campden tablets dissolved in a bit of cider to carboy /keg before transferring for secondary/conditioning.
- Secondary: 8 weeks @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps)
At packaging, add the bourbon-oak tincture to taste (used 3oz medium toast french oak cubes in an 8 oz mason jar filled with the bourbon of your choice, aged at least 1 month but the longer the better). Added until I could just taste the bourbon. The tannins from the oak really balance out the acidity very nicely.
- Transfer to a keg to condition: 6 months @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps) in pressurized keg. |

Notes: This is variation on my citra honey and ginger recipe again with the hop selection dictated mainly by what I had left over from previous brews. I've upped the overall hoppage a bit this time round but the quantity of ginger was toned down to aim for a more subtle hint rather than the quite full ginger beer taste of the original.
The honey, crystal malt and "first wort" hops were steeped in 4 pints water at 65 degrees for 40 minutes.
For the boil I started with 1kg extract in 16 pints water until final 15 minutes when the rest of the extract, the chopped ginger and strained honey mixture.
I cooled the wort in the bath to 35 degrees then put it in fermenter and topped up to the full volume running the added water through the hops in the kettle to rinse out a bit more hop flavour.
"Where's the rhubarb?" You might be wondering. I split the 5 gallon batch at secondary fermentation and tried various combinations as follows:
1 gallon 30g stewed rhubarb
1 gallon 20g stewed rhubarb
1 gallon 10g stewed rhubarb + 10g Kohatu hops
2 gallons 30g Kohatu hops
Left in secondary for a week before bottling. I'll update this description to let you know how it turns out.
UPDATE: So first results are mostly positive. The best batch is definitely the 10+10 which is very drinkable and seems to be nicely balanced with enough rhubarb to give an interesting slightly sour but pleasant flavour. I'm very pleased with this one. The 20 and 30g rhubarb batches are good too but the 30g especially is very dry. The rhubarb does seem to add a dryness along with the sourness you'd expect.
I wouldn't do the 30g Kohatu dry hopped again - the hop flavour was too much and a bit grassy. |

Notes: Steps
Take yeast out of fridge 3 hours before pitching.
Bring the wort to 140 degrees, add 5g salt and 1g coriander, and then turn the heat off (heat for 5-15 minutes).
Transfer a portion of the wort to a starter flask.
Pitch WLP644 Trois when temp is at 70°.
Leave remaining wort in kettle.
Adjust PH ~4.2 to limit growth Clostridium butyricum and other potential off-flavor bacteria. Add 2 ml of lactic acid.
Chill the wort down to 95°.
Add 5 oz of Goodbelly Mango drink.
Cover with blankets.
Allow it to sour for 24 hours. No external heating is required.
Target PH: 3.6 - 3.8
After the souring phase, heat to kill the Lactobacillus before adding the WLP644 Trois for 5-15 minutes at 140 degrees.
Chill the Lactobacillus wort down to ~70°F and pitch WLP644 Trois.
After 2 weeks a stable gravity should be reached.
Rack or transfer off as normal to bottles or a keg.
Goodbelly: 8oz per 5 gallons = 1.6oz per gallon X 3 gallons = 4.8 oz (5 oz)
Salt: 0.5oz per gallon - 0.0625 per gallon X 3 gallons = 0.1875oz (5.315g)
Corriander: 1oz per gallon = 0.125 per gallon X 3 gallons = 0.375 (10g) - cut by 50% to 5g
Lactic acid: Using 1 mL of 88% lactic acid per .1 shift in pH for 5 gallons of wort is a good starting measurement. As an example, say that 5 gallons of wort has a pH of 5.0 just before pitching the Lactobacillus culture. Begin by adding 5 mL (1 US teaspoon) of food grade lactic acid to the wort for a target of ~4.4 pH. |
