Notes: Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.25 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (2.6 L/kg) and a mash temperature of 150 °F (66 °C). While waiting for the run-off and boil to begin add 3 oz. (85 g) of Strata® “dip hops” directly to a clean, sanitized fermenter.

Total boil time is 60 minutes. No hops will be added until post-boil. With 30 minutes left in the boil, run un-hopped wort to the fermentation vessel with the Strata® hops at 170 °F (77 °C) until the hops are aggressively submerged (~0.5–1 gallon/2–4 L). Seal the fermenter with an airlock as soon as possible. Continue to boil the remaining wort. At 60 minutes turn off the heat and pitch your flameout addition and whirlpool for 20 minutes.

Chill the wort to lower than the target fermentation temperature. Once all the wort is in the fermenter, adjust the wort volume as needed to 5.5 gallons (21 L) and the wort temperature to 68 °F (20 °C), then aerate thoroughly and pitch yeast. Pitch rate is 1,000,000 cells per mL per degree Plato. Ferment at this temperature.

Track the gravity daily and at approximately 1.018 specific gravity dry hop with 2 oz. (57 g) each Mosaic® Cryo pellets and Citra® Cryo pellets.

Forty-eight hours later add 3 oz. (85 g) Strata® as the second dry hop. Track gravity until the beer is at terminal gravity. Chill the beer and carbonate the beer to around 2.5 volumes of CO2.

Notes: - On brew day, cut one vanilla bean in half and using a sharp knife, split it open lengthwise. Let soak in 2 oz. of bourbon.

- After 7 days of fermentation,
If using a secondary fermenter, tranfer beer and add vanilla and
bourbon mixture. If just using a primary fermenter, add
bourbon/vanilla directly to primary fermenter. Leave for an
additional 7 days for these flavors to absorb into your beer.

Notes: Mash temp 147. OG 17.8 brix - weirdly low efficiency (crush was not great probably.)

Added 1 oz Citra whole cones to keg.

FG 7.4 brix - 1.010

Fantastic - a (relatively) low ABV barlywine. The small amount of black patent adds a wonderful complexity. Ages great, actually this beer needs 4-5 weeks after kegging to reach perfection.

Yeast starter was made from one smack pack, starting on Wednesday night. Stepped up on Thursday night with another liter. Fridged Friday night. Drained Sat morning and added 16oz of the 1.04 sparge water while the wort was boiling. 800ml of wort/yeast slurry went into the wort.

Strike temperature was significantly hotter than what I normally do. The water in the cooler was around 176 degrees. After adding the grain, it took quite a bit of stirring to get down to 152. It went from around 160 to 152 in about 5 minutes. Also poured in about .5 gallon of room temp water to bring down the temp. Between the 6.25 gallons and the approx. .8 gallons of infusion water, I only rendered 3.7 gallons. Giving me an absorption/dead space volume of 3.3 for the 16.25lbs of grain. Mashed for about 65 minutes once the lid was shut. Gave it a stir around 30 minutes in and the temp was steady around 151-152.

Second runnings were 1.04 and pulled out a tad over 4 gallons.

The only difference between this boil and the original was that I put the bittering hops in a fine mesh bag. I wanted to avoid having my bittering hops end up in the in the carboy since I didn't filter on the way in. Only the first 1oz of Citra went directly into the boil. All other hop editions were put in muslin bags. I also over-cooled the wort and brought it down to about 158 so I waited a couple hours for it to warm up to around 162ish while at the same time cooling my yeast starter. Total liquid probably a hair under 6 (with a lot of sediment).

6 hours in and I barely notice any activity in the carboy, which was concerning given the speed in which the previous batch took off. I attribute this to the cooler start temperature.

8 hours in a small film of fluffy white foam has appeared. Looks like the carboy now has a slight effervescence. Temp warmed to 164. Added a liter of ice to the bag to regulate the temp rise.

17 hours in and blow off tube is passing CO2 (upped my BO container size to a growler this time). About an inch of foam and there is very noticeable effervescence in the carboy. The flocculation of the yeast doesn't seem to have happened yet so I can't call this vigorous yet. Temp warmed to 166. New ice went in the bag to control the temp increase. Once I hit 168, a lot of ice will go in to main fermentation there.

60 hours in: after bringing it up to 68, I had a blowoff. Decided to take a gravity reading and the refractometer reads 1.018. Still fermenting so I'm happy where this is going - hopefully 1.014-5. After cleaning up and getting everything sorted, I come home 12 hours later to a smaller blowoff. Fermentation has subsided and doesn't seem like the blowoff will happen again. Tied down the lid and added 1 oz of Citra to experiment with adding hops at the end of fermentation (transform non-aromatic glycosides into aromatic terpenoids)(https://byo.com/stories/issue/item/3187-advanced-dry-hopping-techniques). Temp is holding steady at 66-67 degrees.

Notes: Fermentation:
Start fermentation at 20C for 2 days. Raise temp to 25C. Primary 1 week, secondary 1 week. Made a robust starter with DME. This yeast is low flocculating in the starter, but a beast in the wort. There was a good inch of trub and a very thick krausen that acted like meringue. Definitely collected a generous sample for reuse. Force carbed at 20 psi over 2 weeks.

Tasting notes:
Tropical fruits on the nose and very mild spice in the middle of the tongue. Very warming, but no bite from the alcohol. The yeast imparts a sweet, bready flavour with a very mild toasty character. No hops or tannin astringency.

Recommendations:
Would make an excellent holiday ale with the addition of more spice, particularly clove, cinnamon and cardamom. Could up the bittering hops to suit your taste. Since the alcohol isn't on the tongue, watch out!
