Notes: Two packets of Lalvin D47 Wine Yeast (only ferments to ~ 14%)
Yeast Starter directions from "Compleat Meadmaker" - 6.5 cups of water, tablespoon of Light DME, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 tsp Nutrient, 1/4 tsp Energizer. Bring water, nutrient, energizer, & malt extract to a boil for 15 minutes, remove from heat, add honey, cover with foil. I'll let this sit on my stir plate for about 42 hours before pitching.
Warm a couple gallons of water to ~140 F or so to mix in the clover honey which was purchased at Costco. Use chilled water to bring down to pitching temp & volume up to ~5 gallons (I went up to about 5.75 gallons). OG for me was 1.12-1.13.
Then follow nutrient additions with 1/4 tsp energizer and 1/2 tsp nutrient at 24 hours, then again at 48 hours, then again after 30% of sugar has been depleted. Two weeks of primary before racking to secondary. Warm the organic "strawberry spread" from Costco in some ~140-150 degree water just to be safe, then rest until room temp, then add in to secondary for two more weeks before racking a 3rd time. |

Notes: Transferir el mosto y la fruta al fermentador primario y aerear durante 1 minuto.
Añadir la levadura y aerear otro minuto.
Fermientación primaria llevará más tiempo del habnitual (15-20 días). Cuando los kiwis suban a la parte superior del cubo y estén casi blancos significará que se ha extraído todo el azucar y sabor.
Temperatura de fermentación 17-24.
Dejar acondicionar otros 10 días. |

Notes: the extracts are actually unlisted here, so they are Northern Brewer Super Structure Liquid for IPA, Millard Malts Golden, and Briess Golden Light DME; this will produce a slightly higher OG. Also, The grains, my Belgian 20L is actually Belgian Cara 8, again not on the list here. I will update on the boil in the next week or two, Cheers!

Notes: Puree is with the raisins and whole leaf cascade hops, first mix them in second pot on stove with 12oz boiling water (when water boils, turn off heat source and add raisins and hops and let cool while stirring). Use food processor to puree this mixture to a thin consistency to add directly to the main boiling wort pot, 5 minutes before end of boil.
Aerate the wort in fermenter prior to yeast pitching very well, for 1 minute.
After 4-5 days when vigorous fermentation slows, add champagne yeast with yeast nutrient, brown sugar and dry hops (centinnial). Aerate gently. Let secondary fermentation go for another 2-3 weeks before bottling.
Bottle condition for weeks, age for a long time.
All brown sugar should be light brown sugar. |

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 seems natural for me to carry on the family tradition by brewing an IPA featuring Idaho-sourced ingredients. Enjoy what Idaho has to offer! |
