Notes: 1oz Columbus at flameout for 10 minutes
Original gravity: 1.072
Gravity before dry hopping: 1.018
3 weeks primary
Dry hop 1 week
Gravity before bottling: 1.018
Carb to 2.4 volumes and bottle condition 3 weeks
Notes: Wonderful hop aroma and taste. Grapefruit and tropical fruit from the hops with a hint of pine. Bitterness is perfect. High FG makes it trend towards a DIPA. Next time consider replacing the 2# DME with 1# cane sugar to dry it out. Overall pretty delicious.

Notes: Fermented 7 days 20c It took 4 days for the yeast to get the gravity down to 1.014 (bottled at 1.014 after 7 day of rest in the secondary)
racked to secondary and let rest for 7 days at 18c

Carbonated with 6g of table sugar pr litre of beer.

After about one month on bottles it tastes delicious. Its a sweet beer that has a mild hint of chocolate on the pallet.You can also taste a little "woodyness" from the NB hops I guess this will come more with ageing since I used a bit more hops than I normaly would do on this kind of beer.

(I am sorry for butchering the English language.Hopefully it's understandable Cheers!)

Notes: Boil water first to deoxygenate, add maltodextrin and 1 oz nutrient blend (to sanitize), cool to 170, add flaked (quick) oats, hold for 30 minutes (this supposedly locks in starches for mouthfeel, but they may be fermentable by the Brett later on... so if nothing else, it will just give them more food for the funk. I used a bag, and squeezed when done... lots of gooey goodness came out!), then cool to 100 F. Add honey and mix until dissolved well. Measure pH if able, and add 88% lactic acid to adjust pH down to ~4.5 (not required, but helps against unwanted organism contamination), and then pitch one shot of Goodbelly (lacto plantarum). Make sacc yeast starter, oxygenating and adding 1/2 oz yeast nutrient.

Let sit for 24-48 hrs (to taste, or pH reading, if you're looking for a specific level). Can boil now to kill lacto and lock in sour level (but boiling will also volalitlize some honey aromatics, so I don't plan on doing it), or just pitch sacc if you don't mind it getting more sour over time (I'd only go 24 hrs if so). Add 1/4 oz yeast nutrient when pitching sacc. Ferment temp controlled at 64-5 for first 3-4 days, degassing each day, then can warm up to room temp to finish attenuation, adding last 1/4 nutrient then. After a week or so (doesn't need to be completely dry yet), add Brett(s), and let it do its thing for a couple months...

Dry hop, or add fruit to, all or a portion, if desired, before bottling. Get creative with complementary flavors!

Notes: Adding carapils for more head retention which was lacking in the last batch.

Adding more late addition hops and dry hops to get better hop flavor which was missing in my last batch.

Need to double up on the yeast or make a starter.

Make sure to do a diacetyl rest.

Notes: Day 1:
1) Heat up ~5 gallons of hot water.
1a) Do the Melanoid Malt / Oats / Pale 2-row as a side batch at its own temperature in a bag. Aim for ~155-160 degrees for an hour.
2) Add extracts and bring to boil. (add Melanoid Mix malt here) -- No need to boil for long, just enough to get the malt sterilized.
3) Cool to ~90 degrees and transfer gently to the fermenter (the less oxygen the better at this point).
4) Pitch the Lacto Plantarum Yeast starter.
5) Keep ~90 degrees for 48 hours to lower the ph. (Should drop ph to ~3.4-3.2.)

Day 3:
5) Drain portion of wort (~half) into kettle.
6) Add hops. Boil for 30 minutes.
7) 10mins: Add coriander.
8) 10mins: Add salt.
9) 10mins: Add Irish Moss.
10) 10mins: Add yeast nutrient.
11) Chill to ~80 degrees.
12) Mix back into the fermenter (vigorously, to oxygenate the wort and encourage yeast).
13) Pitch yeast & bacteria culture.*
14) Cool to ~70 and start primary fermentation. Ferment for 6-7 days.

[Day 3 Check-in: Hit the original gravity spot on at 1.056. Taste is slightly sour -- just a bit of mouth puckering happening. But also terribly sweet, so hard to say. The hint of salt seems about right and the overall flavor is about what I was aiming for. Basic fairly malty beer, but with some savory complexity from the coriander and salt. Drying this up will help a lot.]

Day 10:
15) Rack into 2ndary. Leave for ~2-4 weeks, letting the Pedio and Brett get working. If fermentation is still going, let age even longer.
16) optional -- third rack onto some oak chips. Then, age for for a month.

[Day 15 check-in: Racked beer into 2ndary. Let it sit in primary a bit longer than planned, but was fermenting really slowly, so I think that's fine. The gravity is down to 1.020, so coming along nicely, but not done fermenting yet. Goal is 1.011. The taste is much better than previously. Dryer, but with a nice amount of sourness. Maybe not as much as I had hoped for, but it still might sour a tad more as it ages. The flavor is good, much like the Destihl "Here Gose Nothing" that I'm shooting for, just a little less puckeringly sour -- but still really impressive for doing it myself. Good malty flavor, and seems almost dry enough to go but still just a tad sweet. So far, a good clean taste with no off flavors. Saltiness comes through in the mouthfeel, too. Overall, really happy with where it's going. Plan for bottling: Leave to age for 2-3 weeks, then bottle ~4 gallons of it, and rack 1 gallon onto some oak chips and maybe a bit more sugar to revive and age it for longer.]

Day 24-31:
17) Bottle and condition. Age for at least two weeks.

*Yeast Culture: Needs: Lacto, Pedio, Brett, and Sach. The addition of hops will slow down the Lacto, so no need to kill all of it... Prep this a day ahead of time by mixing a sour blend of yeast with DME extract. Get it frothing a bit and going healthy.
