Notes: Duvel clone

This recipe requires a temperature controlled fermentation environment as the process ramps and cools the ambient during the fermentation cycle.

Cycle is:
Fermentation - 2 weeks
Lager - 2 weeks
Bottle carb - 2 weeks
Cold cellar - 6 weeks

Set aside 8oz of sugar in the recipe for the dosage, use explained below.

Use a soft water profile.

Primary - Initial
Start at 68F and after lag phase hold for 2 days then ramp temperature 2 deg/day to 78F. This first phase of fermentation should take about a week.

Primary - Dosage
Reduce temp to 72F and add the dosage(1gram yeast nutrient + 8-12oz sugar dissolved in 160 deg water and held at temp for 15 min) to primary. This will start an additional fermentation and keep in primary for additional week. Total primary fermentation time should be around 2 weeks. Adding the dosage will dry out the beer which will get the yeast to an 88-90% attenuation which is important for the style. The recipe has the dosage included the fermetables for total OG value calculation.

Lager
Rack to secondary if desired. Lager at 48F moving to 34F for 2 weeks.

Bottle
Use bottles rated for 4 - 4.5 volumes of CO2. Prime for this CO2 level.

Add 1 packet of dry champagne yeast(or other yeast with a neutral profile) proofed for 30 minutes to batch along with priming sugar for bottling.

Hold at 75F for 2 weeks for carbonation.
Cellar cold for additional 4-6 weeks to mature.

Notes: There was an extra 40 mins added after flameout, before adding the "whirlpool" hops because babies needed naps ASAP. Not sure what the exact impact of that will be. Higher IBU, lower centennial flavor probably.

Notes: Just got a kegging setup with a chest freezer and temperature controller. So, this will be my first lager and first keg. I plan to leave at 51 for 10 days, or until fermentation slows. Then, I will bring it to room temperature for 3-4 days. Finally, I will lager at 35 for 4 weeks.
When I think of lager, I think of extra light, crisp, session beer. So, that is what I am going for here. The recipe was invented estimating 65% efficiency, and I got 78%. I started milling my grain with a different mill, (not the giant one at S2A brewery, but their smaller one), and I also built a heatstick and carefully verified each temperature during sparging and step mash. The step mash will hopefully result in a stupidly high attenuation- I would like a FG in the 1.00x range.
This is also the first batch I have tried toasting my own grains, I toasted 8 oz of 2 row at 300 degrees for 30 minutes for approximately 20L. I put 4oz of that in the mash, along with 8 oz of Crystal 10L.
The second time I make this I am going to try simply using 8 oz of home toasted 20L and no storebought crystal 10L.
First time around, planned Wyeast Pilsen Lager, LHBS sent WLP Pilsner, so I pitched both. Second time, LHBS was out of those, so I am using 1pk Wyeast American Lager and 1pk WLP American Lager. Additionally, the 2nd time I am going to do a 2L starter (with 2pk yeast) to get to the needed ~400billion cells, and I am going to krausen after primary is almost done, by reserving ~2L of wort and pitching a 3rd packet of (Wyeast American Lager) into it after around a week. I may also add 1 lb of instant grits, if I can find any with no added ingredients. This would make the beer more to style.

Notes: Nice creamy mouthfeel and a good amount of sweetness. Make sure pineapple is ripe to get the flavor to not be super acidic. Nice balance of pineapple and coconut in this one. Served at a BBQ 5 days after kegging and the whole keg was finished in that day.

Notes: 7 days at 18 deg c (65F) then raise at 1 deg c per day until you hit 21 deg c (70F).
Once you see a consistent FG for at least 3 days then your beer is safe to transfer.

Notes: 5lbs of Apple Juice is actually 5 gallons.

Haven't made this yet, just something I am experimenting with.

Planning on backsweetening with more apple juice and brown sugar and making a tea with the spices before adding to the keg.

Notes: This has been my go to ale recipe for years. It is light, flavorful, and loved by everyone who pulls a pint. You could dry it out a bit by adding a pound of suar or maze in the boil, but it stands well on its own.I brew it at least once a month. I never shared it until now as a friend of mine entered it into a local comp and won 1st overall.
Add a little gypsum to get mash ph to 5.5

let it ferment for 14 days and keg to 3vol.
