Notes: Original Recipe Info:
Old Crafty Hen is a very special version of Old Speckled Hen, one of England’s more famous and classic ales. This version is blended with a 12% ABV Greene King brew known as "Old 5X," a vintage Old Ale that is not sold on its own but instead is blended into the ale you have before you now. The brewery ages Old 5X in three old oak foudres (huge barrels) for 2 to 5 years before skillfully blending it with fresh ale to create Old Crafty Hen.

"Old Speckled Hen" Master Brewer uses crystal and pale malts with Challenger, Pilgrim, First Gold and Goldings hops.

================================================
The addition of the oak chips is an attempt to get that Oak Barrel flavour into this home brew. I do not know if this too "oaky" or not enough - time will tell.
This is an upgraded Old Speckled Hen recipe by "Rich and Dave" to get the FG up to 6.5% while keeping the IBU and SRM similar.

Notes: Mash and collect enough wort to do a 15 minute boil to pasteurize. Chill to 95-100F (35-38C). Measure pH. Add Lactic Acid (88%) to wort until pH reaches ~4.5. Pitch quart of Good Belly Probiotic Juice Drink into kettle. Hold temperature at 95-100F for 24-72 hours. pH should be between 3.2-3.6. Place kettle back on fire, hop and boil as normal. Chill and rack to carboy. Pitch 2565 ferment at 68F (20C) for 3-4 days. Raise to 71F until fermentation is complete.

Mangoes: Purchase 5 lbs (2.25 kg) of mangoes. Peel, de-seed, and cube the fruit. Place fruit in a freezer storage bag. After two days, thaw and crush fruit with a rolling pin. Be careful not to damage the bag. Refreeze and repeat until the fruit in mushy. After primary fermentation is complete, rack beer into secondary vessel on top of the frozen mangoes. Check daily to punch down floating fruit to avoid mold. Leave for 7-14 days (to taste).

Prepare two vanilla beans and sanitize with enough vodka to cover the beans. Place beans in a sanitized dry hopping vessel or muslin bag. Place in secondary vessel and check flavor daily. The vanilla should be very subtle. Once the taste is where you like it, remove beans. Package as normal.

Notes: 8/31/2012
Steeped grains in 1 gal of water for 40 mins @ 160d
Rinsed grains with 1 gal of water @ 130d
Added 1 gal water to kettle and brought to a boil.
Added 60 min. hops, no extract yet. Will be added at 30 mins.
Cooled wort to 90d. Need wort chiller.

OG: 1.055 @ 78d = 1.056

Pitched @ 78d working to bring temp down.

9/6/2012
Added dry hops. 74d up from about 70d two days ago. Allowing a diacetyl rest. A lot of temp swings, but no way to really dial that in yet :(

9/11/2012
Hydrometer reading 1.015. Probably as low as I'll get with this yeast. Decided it fit the profile of an English IPA because of the hops used and that the yeast strain is basically an english ale yeast strain.

5.37% is pretty respectable still and if I understand attenuation right, the beer will be a tad sweeter and have better mouthfeel than a drier beer.

Still plan to add orange extract to the batch before bottling. Should be interesting. Could've used orange peels in the fermentor, but I have the extract on hand and would like to test its effectiveness.

9/18/2012
Finally bottled today. Used 5oz dextrose for priming added a few drops of extra strength orange oil to the primary before bottling. Didn't take a taste so the end result with the orange will be a surprise. There was a nice orangey scent though.

Got 24 25 oz bottles out of it. Super hazy, tons of sediment stirred up because of my crazy insistence on no secondary and adding priming sugar to the primary.
Bottled 12 right away, then waited 30 mins to do the rest. Will keep the batches separate to see if the 30 min. wait allowed the sediment to settle at all. Should be able to tell by what's visible in the bottom of the bottles.

The sediment will settle and pack on the bottom of the bottles, but still, next time I'm either gonna have to add the dex. & flavorings earlier to allow time for the gunk to re-settle or add a screen to the spigot opening. Probably both. I'm stubborn. The main reason I stick with extract brewing is for the relative simplicity of the process. Anything I can do to make the process even less complicated, I intend to do :)

9/20/2012
I know it's green, but I had to see what the base product is like. I chilled one, the sediment is already settling nicely but of course the beer isn't clear yet. First sip is *twang*! Maybe the orange oil did come through, maybe it's the hops? Then it smooths out to honey sweetness, can't say about the victory malt yet, probably lost in the rest but may meld better later. The back end is slightly bitter hops. Not much of a hop nose, especially after all those Red Hoptobers over the past few weeks, and I did go with noble hops, pretty mellow.

Good body, almost thickish, and it's very warming so the FG may have dropped a couple more points at the end. I rocked the bucket a few times toward the end to make sure the dry hops were fully utilized and to rouse the yeast. If there are fruity esters I don't know it because my palate isn't up to tasting yeast yet, and there's the orange. There should be according to the yeast specs, esp. considering the temps I fermented at!

There's a lot going on in this one, and I can't discern particular hop flavors very well yet either, but for being green I'd say it's got promise as a good summer beer when the carbonation kicks in :D Can't wait to try it in another month....

Notes: For each 5 gallon fermenter :
Peel 4 medium sized blood oranges and separate sections of fruit. Cut the fruit sections into small pieces. Use a zester and zest one orange. Heat the fruit and zest in enough water to cover to 160F and then turn off heat. Let the fruit steep as it cools. Cool the wort and steeping fruit to 70-75F and add to fermenter.

Ferment for about 10 days at 72F.

Notes: Brays One Month Mead. Orange Blossom Honey.
OG 1.107, FG target is 1.002 or less. Actual FG was 0.996. ABV = 14%

Nitrogen/nutriet/K2CO3 on day0. Nutrient/Nitrogen on days 2 and 5. Stir/degass on all days 1-5 and then water in the airlock at day5. Rack after 2 weeks. Bottle after 5 weeks.

Plan is to split the batch after racking to the secondary and age one gallon (0.5 gallon w/ American Oak and 0.5 gallon w/ Hungarian Oak).

Very good, drinkable, low fusel mead at 1.5 months w/o oak and fantastic at 6+ months. For the oak experiment, I Preferred Hungarian medium oak to American medium toast oak. 14 days for both at ca. 4 cubes per half gallon.

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 14 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.

Mesking på 66 grader i 60 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.

Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.

Gjæring på 18 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager).

Gjæralternativer: WLP001, WLP007, WLP008, WLP041, WLP051, WLP090, Danstar Nottingham
