Notes: This is my first full grain beer! Just to see if it is worth stepping up from partial mash recipes. It was a lot of fun but my equipment wasn't quite right although I made it work. Mash was easy to manage and the boiling pot was at it's limits (no boil over thank goodness) but transferring wort to fermenter was a bit of a challenge without a syphon... Also cooling the wort with ice was a lot slower than I expected.
Look forward to tasting this beer! |

| Notes: Heated the strike water to 173. Drained half through the tube into the tun and then doughed in. I hit 150 without having to add anything. Temp dropped 1.5 degrees over the hour. I drained off about 2.5 gal and brought, brought it to a boil, and added it back in while sturring for a mashout. I sparged slowly until I hit 7.5 gal. When I took the reading it was the OG that I needed/wanted without adding the Turbinado. I figured with boil down and top off it would be enough to not need to further sparge and use that to top off. I did top off to 7.5gal at 15min in the boil. I also forgot to add yeast nutrient so I boiled and added some while cooling. I ended up collecting 6.5gal of wort from the boil. |

This actually came out pretty good. The toasted coconut really tones down the bitterness of the hops but does not take it away comepletely. Will definitely brew again. |

Notes:
Website says 60IBU - this recipe seems to be falling a bit short of that.
Listed recipe has OG 1.066 FG 1.011 - but this seems to require pretty high attenuation.

| Notes: Brewed 2/10/14. Blocked the false bottom on accident in the mash tun due to float so I had to transfer it to the kettle and then back to the tun. Topped off with 3/4 of a gallon of water to hit 151F. pH was 5.2 (estimated at 5.4). Hit 85% kettle efficiency. Efficiency was a it lower than usual might have been from sparging too fast. Runoff was also quite cloudy so not sure if that had something to do with it. False bottom got clogged a couple times when draining into the carboy. Possibly too much pellet hops and hot/cold break. Temp on day one of fermentation is about 64F. 2/12/14 temp has been between 65-67F. Added 3/4 of a pound of corn sugar in about a cup of water to boost up the OG. 2/13/14 temps were about 68/69F. 2/14/14 took out of the swamp bath and brew is sitting at about 71F. Dry hopped on 2/24/14 when all signs of fermentation were done. 3/5/14 biofined with 2 tbls. Cold crashed 3/7/14. Racked to keg 3/9/14. Pretty tasty IPA that has a bit of that catty thing going on. Wondering if I repeat this if I should switch all citra additions to 0min. Took 2nd place in the category in the Bridging the Gap competition. |

| Notes: Hit 152 perfectly strike water was 175F. Efficiency was down so I had to supplement with corn sugar and malt extract. I barrel aged it in a 5 gallon whiskey barrel for about 6 weeks. This brew took 2nd place in the Wood Aged Category at BAM World Cup of Beer 2014. I ended up entering it as a British Barley wine as a base style because it didn't really have American characteristics anymore. |

Notes: Won 1st place in the combined Light Lagers & Pilsners category at the 2010 Granite City homebrew contest. Results may be found at the link, below.
https://www.facebook.com/notes/granite-city-food-brewery/gcfb-homebrew-contest-winners-congratulations/107914039254067
Collect 13.5 gal at 160F, to hit 13.75 gal at boiling (0.98/0.96 = 0.98 density ratio at 160 F vs 212 F). Boil down to 12.25 gallons.
Fill Levels
Start : 13.5 gal = 3.25"
(13.75 gal = 2.95")
Finish : 12.25 gal = 4.6"
Pre-boil OG should be around 1.044 for a 76% extraction efficiency.
Start Vol = 13.25 (68F)
Stop Vol = 11.75 (68F)
Ratio = 1.13
Gravity= 44 * 1.13 = 49
Boil from 13.75 down to 12.25 gallons. It will shrink to 11.75 gal. Leaving behind 0.5 gal in the Whirlpool & 0.25 gal in the CFC will give 11 gallons total (5.5 gallons into each fermentor).
Pitch 775 Billion cells (for 11 gallons)
~800 mL of slurry (1B cell/mL, 50% yeast)
~200 gm of propagated yeast slurry
~409 gm of harvested yeast slurry (2B cells/gm)
-Try to measure out 300 gm of slurry per fermentor (600 total), assuming a 50% factor of safety. |
