Notes: The clone attempt came out great, great balance of hop and malt. I took the listed ingredients on the bottle, and made an IPA out of those parts. I most likely didn't get their hop schedule correct, due to the huge difference in hop profile. Next attempt may include dry hopping rather than just using in boil or @ flame out.
Comparing to Black Raven's version: I received comments saying they preferred mine over the real Tricksters, giving attributes of a less bitter profile, less harsh and more crisp. |

Repitched rehydrated philly sour yeast at 36 hours after no apparent attenuation or signs of fermentation for the first yeast batch. Very small spots (approximately 1-2mm) of potential infection appeared around open air area above wort. The rehydrated philly sour pitch took off rapidly, showing signs of activity at 5 hours and significant increase in bubbling at 7 hours after pitch. It is worth noting that this philly sour yeast packet expired in a year from now, but the packet was not vacuum sealed right and air and loose space within the packet. Appears to be working fine.
Stirred hard during mash every 15 mins leaving grain bed untouched. Recirculated at 30 mins left in mash with low flow. Cooled rapidly to 80F or below with wort chiller - potentially cooled too far - unsure of how accurate anvil foundry thermostat is.

Notes: This Belgian Blonde tastes as if it were brewed by an all-grain method.
Extract brewing can be simple and rewarding! Note that while the equipment costs far less than the equivalent all-grain systems, the cost to let someone else create your extract over extracting the sugars from grains yourself is more expensive by about 20-50%.
*The bottles are on Amazon. Search Plastic Beer Bottles.
*You may use tap water and/or modify the water profile.
Additional costs include:
$24.57 An inexpensive Amazon stainless kettle from India
$26.97 A 6.5 Gallon Bottling & Siphonless Fermentation Bucket from Northern Brewer with the Spigot: Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot for Bottling Bucket and with the Lid: Grommeted Lid (Drilled)
$8.99 20ft 3/8" ID Siphon Hose
$4.99 Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler
$16.00 Five Star - Star San - 16 Ounce - Brew Sanitizer High Foaming Acid Anionic
A yeast starter is advisable for this beer as it needs about 160B yeast cells and the White Labs yeast packets come with about 100B yeast cells. If you don't want to make a yeast starter, it is advisable to pitch two White Labs yeast packets.
For a fermentation airlock, run a section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose from the grommet on the lid to the bottom of one of the gallon jugs filled with sanitizer solution in tap water, and place the gallon jug and the fermentation bucket at the same height. It is best to elevate the beer at the beginning of the fermentation cycle with the spigot facing the area where you will be bottling so that the trub is not disturbed during the bottling process. In other words, try not to move the bucket just before bottling. Primary fermentation ambient temperature is about 68f. Allow the yeast to ferment up to whatever temperature it prefers.
To bottle your beer, precondition each sanitized 16oz bottle with 1 Northern Brewer Fizz Drop. Attach a 5-8 foot section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose to the Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot and the other end of the hose to the Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler. Slowly open the spigot until it is fully open. Place the spring tip filler into the bottle and press the tip inward on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle until the liquid reaches the top. Remove the filler and the bottle will be filled to the optimal height.
Secondary fermentation in bottles takes between 14 and 21 days. 17.5 is usually a safe number of days to allow carbonation to build.
To add a bit of perceived sweetness and rounded maltiness to the finished product try to get your PPM of Calcium and sodium to about 50. CaCl and non-iodized table salt or sea salt are fine for reaching this water chemistry. Your local municipal water company should have posted your water mineral content. If you are on well water, you can start with distilled/reverse osmosis water and build the water chemistry from there. Just use a PPM calculator.
Don't forget to sanitize everything including the outside rims of the brewing equipment and even the outside of the yeast packet. |

| Notes: This beer has been a huge hit with friends. The Devils Club and Spruce tip blend perfectly with the hops for an herby and earthy IPA. Very unique. Devils Club is a very therapeutic substance of the Ginko family. It has been used traditionally as a cure-all for thousands of years. It is also known to produce hallucinations when consumed in very high concentrations. I find the devil's club produces a particularly giggly and giddy kind of intoxication, similar to red wine or tequila. Note that Devils club berries are poisonous. Only the bark/roots are safe for consumption. Like any plant/herb, some people are known to have allergic reactions to Devil's Club, so it is advised to be cautious if you've never had it before. |

Notes: Brewhouse efficiency was actually higher than stated as the inverted sugar (golden syrup) was added after the boil, directly to the fermenter. I can't seem to account for that in the recipe builder.
The OG was lower than I had originally planned. I was aiming for 1.067. I think my normal 80% efficiency was hit slightly by the larger than average (for me at least) grain bill . I had initially envisaged a 23L batch but pitched a 2L starter at high krausen. This again lowered the OG somewhat as it diluted the wort with much lower gravity starter. This is also why I included 200g of DME in the recipe. This is actually from the starter, not the beer.
When checking the gravity after 7 days and before dry hopping, I was down to 1.008, so much better attenuation than is suggested for this yeast. |

At flameout, cool down to 70 degrees C. STOP the cooling, add Amarillo, Cascade, Citra and Mount hood. Stir in circles or run whirpool, leave for 20 min. Then continue until you reach 29 degrees C.
Mix 2 x Nottingham, 2 x US-05 dry yeast; Hydrate as adviced on package, and pitch the started yeast to the worth (WLP007 is an excellent alternative if you are into liquid yeast). Ferment at 20 degrees C for 14 days.
Carbonate with 6 g/L white sugar.
Store for 21 days before enjoying.
This is a fresh, hoppy IPA with notes of citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruits and berries: And it combines with an excellent body, with hints of malty biscuit :D
Cheers!
