Notes: Add 1/4 of the nutrient mix on brew day, on day 2, day 4, and day 8. Keep fermentation temperature between 64 and 68 degrees. Rack to secondary fermenter after a month. After first month, temperature control not as critical. Mead should be finished in 3-4 months. Carrot Blossom mead normally needs mead acid blend--add it to taste before bottling or kegging. Carrot Blossom honey is full of caramel like complex sugars that linger into the mead.
Mashing Instructions:
Heat honey jar in hot water so it will pour easily. Bring 1/2 gal. high alkaline water to boil and turn off stove. Slowly add the honey to the water stirring constantly. Honey-water mixture should be around 130 degrees. Cover and let it sit for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, put covered pan in tub of cold water for half-hour. Add 1 gallon cold water to carboy. Pour honey-water mixture on top of the cold water. Add more water until you get to 1.120 OG. |

Notes: Based on what Vinnie divulged, this is how I'd go about banging out a 5 gallon batch (don't think you'd want 10 gallons of this, hehe...) basing it on the requirements for an Oud Bruin...
Size: 6.0 gal
Efficiency: 80.0%
Original Gravity: 1.063 (1.040 - 1.074)
Terminal Gravity: 1.013 (1.008 - 1.012)
Color: 21.51 (15.0 - 22.0)
Alcohol: 6.58% (4.0% - 8.0%)
Bitterness: 22.1 (20.0 - 25.0)
Ingredients:
11.0 lb American 2-row
1.0 lb Caramel Malt 40L
1.5 lb Vienna Malt
0.5 lb Carafa Special® TYPE III
1.0 oz Perle (8.2%) - added during boil, boiled 45.0 min
Of course, add your whirlfloc and yeast nutrient. (This isn't an overly thick beer, we'd want to dry this out as much as possible.)
Nice starter of White Labs WLP530 Abbey Ale, or pitch at least two vials, and aerate the crap out of it. Hit it with O2 if you have a tank/diffusion stone.
Give it about 3 weeks in primary, keeping it above 70 degrees for the yeasties to do their thing. Rack when it hits 1.012.
Here's where I get fuzzy. Vinnie says that when this comes off to secondary, he removes the yeast. I'm assuming he's doing that by pasteurization? Either way, I doubt it'd ruin the beer if it's just racked as you normally would.
You'll need a bigger carboy than 5 gallons, to accommodate the cherries, so grab yourself a 6.5 gallon one.
Into secondary, dump a package of Brett, and give it another couple of weeks.
Into secondary, dump 2.0 lb mashed cherries, as well as a package of Belgian Sour Mix 1. For a full effect, soak 1oz of oak chips in some pinot, and add those to the secondary as well. Let that chill for 2-3 months.
Rack to a keg, stash for 6 months before carbing.
Hugely labour intensive beer, and man, if I tapped that keg after a year or so and it tasted like arse, I wouldn't be a happy bunny! |
