| 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. |

Acidulated malt to adjust mash pH to 5.2 Mash the grains at 151°F (66°C) for 25 minutes. Vorlauf for 15 minutes then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to get 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. Whirlpool for 45 minutes, adding first whirlpool addition at the start and the next after 20 minutes. After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 64°F (18°C). Aerate the wort and pitch the yeast (ensure a healthy pitch of the correct amount yeast). Ferment at 65°F (18°C). Add dry hops according to the schedule. Crash and remove dry hops on Day 11.
BREWER’S NOTES
Add acidulated malt to adjust the mash pH to 5.2 (1 percent of acidulated to malt per 0.1 of pH reduction needed). We target a 5:1 chloride-to-sulfate ratio in our mash and shoot for about 155 ppm of chloride. We also find we like our beers with a firmer bittering charge than is often seen. |

Notes: Remember to crush spices. Use my suggestions or add Christmasy spices of your choice (Cardamom, Cinnamon/Cassia, Vanilla, Nutmeg, Ginger, Anis, Cloves etc).
For simplicity add everything with 10 minutes left of boil except the mahlab and the cherries, which are added at the end of boil. |

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.

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. |
