Notes: 15.3.17
Malt bill mix of #1 and #4 (4% Carafa II and 10% Brown). Rest of recipe the same as #1-#4.
Initial Mash Ph = 6.5 (optimal 5.2-5.5)
30min/final Mash Ph = 5.8 (still too high)
Preboil gravity = 12.8P (slightly higher than #1-#4)
Original gravity = 14.5P (higher than #1-#4)
20.3.17
Ph 4.27, temp 19.5°C
---
Now we're changing up the malt bill quite a bit; No cara malt and using 50% brownmalt together with 50% pale ale malt. The rest is identical and aiming for similar degrees of plato; 13°P. Expected color is very dark since we're using 50% of the roasted malt, however it is very lightly roasted, only about 65 Lovibond (Carafa ~400 and Chocolate ~300).
Mash Ph = 6.0 (higher than optimal 5.2-5.5)
Gravity preboil 11.5°P (lower than #1 - #3)
Gravity post boil 13.5°P
Post boil volume 18.5L
Final volume in fermenter 16L
Final gravity 3.7P (after 7 days, higher than #1-#3)
Final pH 4.34
-- P4#3
Same recipe as P4#1 with BEST Chocolate instead of Carafa II
BEST Chocolate grined finer than rest
Firstwort hopping. New package of Columbus opened, different from #1 and #2. 9g old (16.3% alpha), 6g new (14.1% alpha)
Removed 0.5L in the beginning of boil for yeast hydration. Maybe some hops were also removed.
Preboil: 12.4P (slightly higher than #1 and #2)
Beer appears dark brown. Nice color.
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P (1 package, 11g)
Postboil: 14.2P (higher than #1 and #2)
Final Ph about 5.2
Final volume in fermenter 15.5L
Final gravity 2-2.5°P.
-- P4#2
Same recipe as P4#1 with Carafa III Special instead of Carafa II
Garafa III grined finer than rest
Firstwort hopping (removed 0.5L before boil for yeast dehydration. Removing during boil means removing some hops. Wort was boiled separately).
Preboil: 21.5l 12ºP
Beer apears almost black. Darker than #1. More than expected
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P (1 package, 11g)
Postboil: 18.5lit. 13ºP
Final volume in fermenter 16L
-- P4 #1
Carafa II grind finer than CaraMunich & Pale Ale.
Firstwort hopping
Preboil: 22lit. 12ºP
Beer appears to be darker than recipe.
Postboil: 19lit. 13ºP
Bitterness: slightly above average (3.5/5bitterness)
Color: Dark, almost black
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P
Final Gravity: about 2.5ºP (picture) -> 5.7%
End of fermentation: Very light in aroma and a smooth bitterness (3/5biterness) |

Notes: Aim for a really high mash temp: 156-158 to get more sweetness out of the grains.
Create tincture 2 days before adding: Add cacoa nibs and vanilla plus 8oz vodka to sterilized jar and let sit. This sanitizes and makes sure to totally pull out the flavor of them. (This will create a super concentrated flavor. It will create 6 oz liquid. Add 1-2 oz at first, then a bit more if needed.) 1 oz adds about 0.15% to ABV
When adding the cherries- use frozen ones, but soak them in vodka, too?
4 gallons of mashing water at at least 174 degrees- maybe try 180-182 and add cold water if needed.
6 qts boiling for mash out. This will total 5.5 gallons.
Use 1.75 more gallon for Sparging. (Grain will probably absorb around 4-5qts.) Sparge enough water to hit 6.5 for boil
Went with 30L Crystal malt- trying to get a bit more sweetness but not super sweet. |

Notes: This is a bit of fun experimentation. Fingers crossed!
I had the wort without the malt extract which I added the hop schedule to (added extract at last 10 mins at 70c). As I had more extract than space, I added 1.7kg of malt extract to 3.3 ltrs of hot water in a separate pot at a steady 70c for 10 mins and added directly to fermenter.
For the Wort in 8 Ltr pot: Did a cold crash in the sink then siphoned the wort to the fermenter after the wort cooled then added water.Would probably icebath and add iced water to the fermenter if I did it again.
Put the fermenter in a water bath to cool and get a slow ferment at 18c.
