Notes: 1. Fill brew Kettle with 1.5 Gallons of water and heat to 155 F (+/- 5 F is acceptable). Remove Kettel from Heat Source once desired temperature is reached.
2. Steep Crushed Grain in Steeping bag for 20-30 minutes while agitating the grain bag to ensure all the grains are fully soaked and immersed in the water.
3. After 20-30 minutes remove the grains, allow them to drain, and optionally rinsed with an additional 1-2 quarts of Hot Water.
4. You may now discard the grains and grain steeping bag.
5. Top up Kettle with additional hot water, up to the max volume of your Kettle less 1-1.5 gallons to allow for the boil up space and ensure against a boil over. 6.5 gallons max
6. Add Briess Pilsen Light Malt Extract LME and stir to dissolve, ensuring that all is incorporated into the water and no clumps are stuck to the bottom of the kettle) these can scorch and adversely affect the flavor of the beer).
7. Bring the liquid to a roiling boil, watching carefully for boil overs. You can turn down the heat to combat boil overs or spray with a water bottle to reduce surface tension.
8. Once boil has begun start timer for 60 minutes.
9. Follow the Hop Schedule provided.
10. At 15 minutes left in the boil add the Whirlfloc Tablet
11. At the end of the 60 minutes boil remove from the heat source.
12. Chill Wort to under 100 F as fast as possible and as close to 75 F as possible.
13. Pour Chilled wort into fermentor and pull sample for gravity reading
14. Aerate Wort
15. Pitch Yeast when the wort is at 75 F.
16. Take gravity ready with triple scale hydrometer.
17. Place fermentor in a location that allows fermentation to occur at 75 F. and rise to 80 F. Warmer than usual fermentation temperatures are key to developing the unique flavor profile that is ke to this brew and beer style.

Notes: First batch was 5.25 gal of 1.112 (18 lbs of my honey added)
- Added Nardone yeast (2 packs, 3 in future) not cooled it down to room temperature after following yeast package. Overly sluggish start, took almost 5 days. Fermentation was sluggish. Fermentation had no airlock activity after 3 weeks. Lots of shaking to degass --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. Very sweet when sampled during first rack, but quite delightful.
Second batch was 4.5 gal of 1.096 (11 lbs added)
- Added half of the yeast (2 packs total) directly to the fermentor and half according to package instructions. Proper start, fermentation activity slowed after 2 weeks. Lots of shaking to degas --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. The first rack to secondaries tasted the best it ever had.
Secondaries
5.25 gal Sacred blue (8 lbs blueberries, 1 lb of mulberries) + 1.5 vanilla beans in tertiary (1 week) then add one cinnamon stick for another week (test it often)
2.5 gal of strawberry mead (3 lbs of strawberries and a handful of mulberries for colour) + tequila chips (1 week or so, test it often)
1 gal of lavender mead (2.2g of 3 week air-dried homegrown lavender, 6 days )
1 gal of chamomile mead (1 oz of chamomile from one SFB package, 6 days)
Any "left over" mead will become straight mead in a bottle.
- ZERO mead leftover. Perfect volumes.

other advice:
- I was using Lalvin EC - 1118 yeast is I was shooting for about 18% alcohol, but for most dark berry recipes I'd recommend Lalvin 71B-1122 vice D47. D47 is perfect for traditional Meads, 71B-1122 is made to bring out dark berry flavors. Just my opinion.

Notes: Save the fleet, eat less wheat! Drink it instead!
Victory bread was made with about 25% less wheat; using other substitutes like corn, rice, or barley. We're recreating that with this beer but adding a little strawberry extract to liven it up a bit.
