Notes: 1. Activate 2 PACKETS of liquid yeast, 3 hours in advance of pitching (right before cleaning and sanitizing).
2. Sanitize all equipment.
3. Heat (3 gal) Spring Water to 160 degrees; add grain bag and steep for 30 min. Keep temp between 152-160 degrees while it steeps.Do not agitate grain bag.
4. After 30 min, remove and put bag in spider. Sparge with 2 quarts of 155-160 degree Spring Water until water is gone.
5. Dissolve DME (OFF stove) and stir in until fully integrated. Put back onto heat and take a pre-boil gravity reading. Then, bring to and keep at a boil for 60 min.
6. Keep a close watch on the boil, in case of in case of a boil-over. Add hop installments throughout the 60 min boil, as scheduled.
7. Add gypsum at 45 min and Irish moss at 15 min.
8. Move the uncovered kettle to the sink and cool in ice bath. Be careful not to let ANYTHING get into the wort.
9. Once below 100 degrees, add to bottling bucket; then add cold water until 5.5 gallons total. Stir vigorously and into whirlpool.
10. Take OG reading.
11. Pitch liquid yeast when at 80 degrees or below. Seal and move fermentor to cool/dark location. Equip with blow off valve.
12. Ferment at 64-70 degrees for 3-5 days or till complete. Take FG reading.
13. Once fermentation is believed to be complete, take a second FG reading to be sure. If fermentation has finished, transfer to the secondary for another 3-5 days.
14. In the middle of transferring with the siphon, add gelatin that has been: a) dissolved in 170 degree water and b) then cooled to room temperature.
15. After 3-5 days in the secondary (one day before bottling), move the secondary to the bottling location so that trub has settled.
16. On bottling day, take a third FG reading to obtain official ABV. Clean and sanitize all bottling equipment.
17. Prepare the priming solution by boiling 3/4 cup sugar and 1 cup of water and 1 cup of the beer for ~5 min. Allow it to cool down to room temperature before adding into beer. Then, transfer beer from secondary to bottling bucket and, in doing so, add the priming liquid.
18. Bottle and store in cool/dark location for 2 days. Then begin refrigeration for additional priming and aging; 2-4 weeks minimum. |

7. After 30 minutes boil, add 0.83 oz Idaho 7 hops.
8. After 45 minutes boil, add Pilsen Light DME & 1 lb of Sparkling Amber DME.
9. After 50 minutes boil, add honey, maltodextrin, yeast nutrients, and Whirlfloc tablet.
10. After 56 minutes boil, add 0.83 ounce each of Idaho #7, Idaho Gem, and PINK (ID-158) hops.
11. After 60 minutes of boil, turn off heat and add 1.66 ounces each of Idaho #7, Idaho Gem, and PINK (ID-158) hops to wort for 15-20 minutes of whirlpool/hop stand as part of resting period.
12. Add Spring and/or distilled water to top-up wort to 7.5 gallons to accommodate for boil-off and trub loss .
13. When fully cooled, transfer to fermentor, aerate, pitch yeast.
14. After high krausening subsides (3-4 days) add 1.5 ounces each of Idaho #7, Idaho Gem, and PINK (ID-158) hops to fermenter for dry hopping.
15. After 7-8 days of wort in fermentor and fermentation has slowed significantly, transfer wort to Corney keg and allow secondary fermentation.
16. After 2-4 days of secondary fermentation, refrigerate Corney keg. Force carbonate with pressurized CO2 after 1 day of refrigeration.
I'm a 4th generation Idahoan who lives where Idaho hops, barley, and potatoes are grown. My great-grandfather owned a bar & dance hall in Idaho City, Idaho Territory in the 1860's. He brewed the beers that he served using imported and local ingredients, including local Idaho spring water. It only seemed natural for me to carry on the family tradition by brewing an IPA featuring Idaho-sourced ingredients. Enjoy what Idaho has to offer! |

| Notes: Earlier tastings were extremely oaky(bottling + 2 weeks), the oak has now mellowed a bit (Bottling + 55 days), but is still a little overpowering. I'll consider halving the amount of oak in next year's batch (1oz instead of 2 for 2 gal), as it is difficult to detect any of the peatier notes from the peated malt with all that oak. Otherwise, very tasty, friends were shocked that it was home-made. |

Notes: Add raw vanilla beans during fermentation. I do 2 beans, cut them open and drop them in the fermentation. Do not use extract. I let it sit for a week and then added more after tasting. Let another bean sit in for 2 days and then racked to secondary.
Add 0.5 cups of bourbon when kegging. I used Makers Mark but I'm sure others would be good too. |

~Stir mash @ 5 min. Temp/pH @ 15 min. Will calculate strike to hit 154*F so after stirring (well) will settle around 153*F.
~Slow down. ...Valve positions.
~Ensure minimum 6 gallons in BK towards end of boil.
~Aerate wort well. Repeat.
~Dry yeast version here. Use 2 packs and rehydrate.
~Primary fermenter 12-14 days then cold crash 2-3 days before kegging.
~2.1 volumes CO2 at 44F is 10psi.
