Notes: Six months before you start brewing, put all the Fuggles and the cask Goldings in paper bags and store in a cool (50-60F if possible), dry place weighed down by a moderately-sized book. You want to press them but not crush them.
Salt additions presume 11 gallons of water for use.
The infusion mash requires frequent stirring throughout the process. Do not just passively infuse. Stir thoroughly at mash-in and frequently throughout. Brew day is arm day. This recipe drains each infusion thoroughly before adding the next infusion. There is no sparge or separate "mash-out".
Primary yeast is a 2 quart starter. Two days before brew day, boil 1 cup light DME in 2 quarts water, 15 min. Cool. Pitch yeast pack. Ferment 24 hours. Put into refrigerator.
On brew day, decant wort off settled starter. Put starter back into fridge. About an hour before pitching, take it out and let it warm at room temperature. Let primary go 10 days, then check gravity daily. Once gravity is stable over 3 days. Transfer to secondary
In secondary (Brett), let percolate 240 days, use glycerol in the airlock. Check gravity. Two weeks later, check gravity. If stable, check again in two weeks. If still stable, add the "cask" hops (remember the bag, and don't splash, lower them in with a rigid tool). Hold two more weeks. If not stable, check gravity in two weeks. Eventually, add hops for two weeks.
After two weeks, remove hops and use isenglas. Give it a week to clarify, then bottle.
Make priming wort on bottling day:
Priming Wort
• 0.25 lb Crisp Chevalier Heritage Malt
• 0.10 lb Crisp Brown Malt
• Mash grains in 1.5 qt treated water at 145 °F for 30-45 min.
• Add 0.7 oz (weight) treacle.
• Boil 15 min.
• Cool completely before use.
It will be ready to sample after 3 months in the bottle. It may take 12 months in the bottle to hit its stride. Recommend serving at 50-55F.
Final gravity and ABV are based incorporating the Brett
This can also be done without the Brett. Secondary will only be 4 weeks, then fine (5 weeks total), Bottle aging will be shorter (about half). If this option is taken, FG is ~ 1.017 and ABV ~ 7.1% |

Notes: Using the experimental South African hop SAB XJA2/436 to try a single hop ale. Hop characteristics described as:
The aroma profile of XJA2/436 is bergamot citrus, dried lemon zest, candied papaya, ripe cantaloupe, gooseberries, and resin. Works well with all hop-forward beers including American and Belgian styles like IPAs and saisons.
Alpha Acids: 11.5 – 15.4%
Beta Acids: –
Cohumulone: 29.1%
Total Oil (ml/100g): 1.1 – 1.7%
Humulene: 21.5 – 35.5%
Caryophyllene: 11.8 – 13.0%
Farnesene: 8.2 – 18.1%
