Notes: NOTE: second 3.3 Pilsen LME is a LATE ADDITION, but marking it as such here throws off all the numbers.
From the Brewer's Best Recipe Sheet:
IBUs: 45 - 48
ABV: 5.5% - 6.0%
OG: 1.052 - 1.056
FG: 1.011 - 1.014
Color: Pale Amber
A generous hops schedule and soft Belgian Candi Sugar combine to create this modern style ale. Brewer’s Best Belgian IPA includes that trademark spiciness familiar to Belgian Style Ales along with the piney, herbal and slight citrus flavors of an American IPA. The result is a complex flavor combination that adds depth and
outstanding character to this unique style of ale. |

Notes: I`m primarily using Heather honey in my mead. At least 60/40 when I use a mix of Heather and Flower honey.
2 liter starter @1.04SG, 2 stage.
Filipendula ulmaria ( called Mead spice locally ) was traditionally used as "flavoring", and is this brews source of tannin. Caution; Filipendula ulmaria is a natural source of salicylic acid. Steep the Filipendula ulmaria in 1 liter of water so that it makes a strong, pungent tea. Add the tea to the fermentor the 3rd day.
Add commercially prepared Apple Must/ Apple Juice ( without preservatives like Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid is ok tho ) to the fermentor the 3rd day. The pectinase will help break down any pectin.
Leave to ferment for 30 days. Store for an additional year after botteling. Enjoy =)
End notes:
It was, to my best knowledge, uncommon to use hops in mead. Nor was it common to use any kind of malt. Hops, malt and Achillea millefolium ( a hops substitute, called Beer king locally ) was most commonly use for brewing beer ( beer was for every day use and mead for special occasions ).
You could add a small amount of clove, ginger and nutmeg to make the brew spiced as well ( I use these spices with restraint as I do not want my mead to taste like gingerbread ). Boil the spices for 15 minutes and let the Filipendula ulmaria flowers steep to make the tea.
Carbonation was also rare at best, and then only lightly ( due to lack of pressure proof containers ). |

Notes: Steeped grains for 20 minutes before boil.
Made a yeast starter.
Primary temp fluctuated between 17C and 21C. Maybe down to 16C - winter temps. Fermentation not visible until 48 hours.
Primary for 12 days, not sealed. Opened maybe 6 times total to check fermentation.
Transferred to secondary with racking cane. First time unsuccessful, so I had to refill siphon with sanitizer and do it again.
Bung was still wet when attempted to put on. Pressed it too hard and it entered carboy. Temporarily covered with unsanitized aluminum foil for 24 hours.
Boiled 300ml of water and added 1/2 cup corn sugar (dextrose). Worried about 1 gallon of headspace in secondary. Added dextrose and installed bung and airlock. Filled airlock with vodka.
Bottled on 02/19/2014.
Update: 07/22/2014. Forgot to take tasting notes :(. But I remember it being really good despite my conceived screw-ups. |
