Notes: Brewed 1/12/14. Used Giga yeast 001 which is their version of California Ale Yeast. Strike water was 176F and hit 156F. Decided to top off with a quart of strike water and recirculate 1.5gal. Hit 156F again. pH was 5.25 which is close to predicted. Might not be the pH meter, probably need to get a water test done again. I got exactly 8.25 gallons from the sparge and the runoff right before the sparge stopped was about 4 brix. Pre-boil gravity was 1.049 which puts the kettle efficiency at 85%. I got about 5.5gal from the kettle at the end of the boil and overshot the OG a little bit. Cooled the wort down to about 70F. When I checked on 1/13/14 it had dropped down to about 65F so I heated it up to about 72F with the aquarium heater because I want some esters in this beer. 1/14/14 beer dropped to about 69F so I heated it back up. Noticed mid day it had hit about 74F so I chilled it back down to about 72F. Beer heated up on accident to about 75F (about 4 hours) in the evening but I cooled it back down to 71F. 1/15/14 was at 71F whole day. 1/16/14 brew seems to be floating around 71/72F. Racked to barrel 2/13/14 with a FG of 1.014. That is a bit more attenuation than I expected with a mash temp that high. Puts the brew at about 6.1% alcohol. Pitched the Roeselare blend in the barrel. Barrel was full to the brim. 11/30 I decided to top off the barrel with a bit of the grand cru clone top off beer. It was a bit less alcoholic and had a brett and lacto strain. It was about 3 quarts of head space. We shall see if that helps get the brew more sour. The top off beer, with Brett Trios and lacto, and later a pint of slurry from the rare barrel group project gave it a nice mild sourness. Tasted on 9/20/15 and the gravity dropped to about 1.005.

Notes: Ladies and gentlemen, prepare your palates...

Simply put, Headroom is the hoppiest beer we've ever brewed with more than 7 lbs. per barrel featuring heavy doses of Galaxy & Mosaic. This is a truly special Double IPA brewed only once a year, released during the last two summers to celebrate Hop Jam; Vermont's annual lupulin-centric beer fest. Headroom embodies our hoppy coup de grâce (for now)- we hope you enjoy!

Dank. Citrus. Tropical Fruit. Juice.

Notes: Used 15g of S04 yeast - a pack and a bit
80 degrees heated the strike water to (this was 4 degrees over the calc T based on my last recipe) - ended up with a high mash temperature around 68-69degrees at start and didn't lose much since only 25 mins. Next time will go 2 degrees only over the recommended and for such a short mash.
Ended up with around 19l of wort at target OG (1.065). High aeration achieved on decanting, pitched yeast about 20-25% full - but forgot to mix. Happily trucking on next day when checked, around 18 hours after start.
Forgot to add 1g chinook hops 10 mins before end, however given all 60g of hops were added right as the heater was turned off I expect a little bittering so shouldn't make a difference. Wort was very dark in comparison to what I expected, probably related to the time it took to boil off. May mean more caramelised flavour - will confirm when sampling!

Notes: Process for fermenting a low alcohol lager:
Ferment 2 weeks at 52°F
Let rise to 65°F For 1 week
Crash cool at 38°F for several days
Rack to secondary
Let rise to 65°F for 1 week
Crash cool at 38°F for 3 weeks

The rule for a lager, is it needs to be aged for several months, including fermentation, but then you need to drink quick! Several weeks in the bottle it's perfect, then it starts to fall off.

If you are using the Cream Ale Yeast Blend, you can ferment in the low to mid 60s (I prefer around 58-62°F) until fermentation starts to slow, then raise to the high 60S (68°F) for about a week. Leave it in the primary a total of about 4 weeks, to ensure all the sulfur has driven off (for single stage, or rack to secondary after 3 weeks for lagering.) Crash cool and keg or go straight to bottles.

Notes: The cider was provided by a local farm that sells unpasteurized unfiltered Russet based cider to homebrewers. This batch was 6 gallons.

1. Add 6 gallons of cider to sanitized bucket.
2. Add brown sugar to same bucket.
3. Add 1 crushed campden tablet and wait 12 hours.
4. Add 1/2 tsp per gallon of pectic enzyme and wait 12 hours.
5. Add yeast nutrient.
6. Pitch yeast (2L DME starter)

Primary until activity subsides (seven to ten days)
Secondary until clear (1 month min, to 2 months)

Gravity should be around 1.001 when complete.

Once secondary is complete, add potassium sorbate (if kegging)
to prevent re-fermentation, let it sit overnight.

Bottling is a bit trickier. Read Zymurgy's article on backsweetening cider: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/how-to-backsweeten-mead-and-cider/

Add wine conditioner to taste or concentrated cider (freeze and let sit upside-down in cup then add concentrate).

Notes: Mash and sparge, bring up to a brief boil then chill to 110*
kettle sour using L. Plantarum
Maintain ambient temp of 100* in fermentation chamber for 48 hours, aiming for a pH of 3.4
60 minute boil following hop schedule
Cool and pitch 1 pack of G02
Add blackberries at 7 day and allow at least 7 more days before crashing
I generally take fresh blackberries and sanitize them briefly in Starsan. I then freeze to break down the cell walls, thaw and gently mash in a sanitized bowl before adding to beer. I highly recommend using a hop bag to keep seeds out of the beer.

9th Place for Redneck Champagne Category
The RUCK Extreme Homebrew Competition

This method produces 2 separate Pale ales from one brew day. Soak 1 oz of vodka with 1 oz of hops in a mason jar for each of your 5 gallon pale ales.

The hop method maximizes hop efficiency and eliminates late boil hopping/whirlpool/hopback. Before flameout, fill each jar with boiling wort and loosely cover with lid.

Notes: I used two different dry malt extracts. One was a 1 lb bag of Breiss Golden Light DME. The other was a 3 lb bag of CBW Golden Light DME. I added all 4 lbs to the beginning of the boil (careful of overboil) but I have also heard of 1/2 in the beginning, 1/2 at the end. I used LME at the end instead.

Important to add LME with about 15 mins left in boil. This will avoid over-scorching which is known to give a metallic taste to the beer.

Add pureed apples (use a muslin bag) with about 10 mins left in the boil. You will not taste the apple in the brew, but the pectin in the apple adds a nice body and haze to the beer.

Add lactose sugar with 10 mins left in boil.

Freeze Strawberries and whole vanilla bean (use however much you want). When it is time to add these at day 7 of the secondary fermentation, they will be easy to crush.

I like the smell of the galaxy, cascade, and simcoe hops the best, which is why I chose to use them for the dry hop. Since most of what we taste comes from what we smell, it is important to use your favorite hops towards the end of your boil and for the dry hop. Dry hopping will increase aroma and get rid of bitterness.

Inspired by my favorite Milkshake IPA's from Tired Hands.
