Notes: Given that the malts do not provide much in the way of fermentable sugars when using the craft kitchen kit we may need to tweak the Malt Extract upwards to hit the target abv of 7-8% (20 KG used) based on the Stewart Brewing ready reckoner
Soft Candi Sugar used in the description instead of the Muscovado actually used in the recipe
Lactose Milk Sugar & Muscavado used at 10 minutes from end of boil
Spices added at 10 minutes before end of boil in muslin bag:
5 cinnamon sticks
15 cloves
1.15 tsp of ground cardoman
1.5 tsp ground nutmeg
Spices added 1 week before end:
batch 1: sterilised orange zest
batch 2: whisky soaked vanilla pod |

Notes: Note to future self: Ground malt to midway between the 0.05 and 0.025 settings (so 0.0375?), and ended up too fine and it didn't drain well from the mash tun.
This recipe is based on Vytautas Jančys's Keptinis recipe from Historical Brewing Techniques by Lars Marius Garshol.

Otherwise, very normal brew until the end of the mash at which point I covered a baking sheet in spent grain (this was only a small portion of the overall grain), and baked it. Since the wort wasn't draining well from the mash tun, I spent a long time trying to stir the wort out of the mash, and scooping it out and pressing it through strainers. I think it was about an hour before I could get about 6G from the mash tun and began the boil. I boiled it for about 20 minutes before adding my bittering hops, then 15 minutes and added my immersion cooler, then another 15 minutes and then added my flavour hops before starting to cool the wort.
I only cooled the wort down to about 60 or 70C, at which point I put it back into the mash tun (with most of the grain removed), then I dumped in the baked grain to soak for 30 minutes to an hour before draining again (this time much easier since there was very little grain) into a bucket where I pitched my kveik and went to bed.
About 5 hours later I got up and saw that the kveik wasn't doing anything, so I pitched another pack of kveik I had and waited 4 more hours, before finally giving up and pitching a pack of dry US-05 which grew a krausen within minutes.
To be fair, the packs of kveik I had were pretty old. If this brew turns out even moderately well, I'll want to try it again with kveik.
After the gravity dropped by about 30 points (about 12 hours after I pitched the US-05, 21 hours total from transferring to the open bucket), I transferred to a glass carboy.
See the tilt graph here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wzd0I1CZFdyxrhJR-jzwBLvwTIT5-TX3BXMVCHyaGmI/edit#gid=189348009
Within about 16 more hours (37 hours total), it had gone from 1.073 to 1.016. It stayed at about 30C pretty much the entire time, which is well above US-05's temperature max recommended temp of 25. It's been about a week since I made this, and I'm planning to wait another week before bottling.
Note that about a week after brewing, it looked like it was stable at 1.015, but then I accidentally jostled the carboy a bit and the SG dropped to 1.011. My best guess is that the floating hydrometer was pressed up against the side of the carboy, so it wasn't giving a valid reading until I jostled it.
Another note: from watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4CdMlUpZUI I gather that it's pronounced KEPTEENEE. |

Notes: Traditional Norwegian farmhouse ale uses pale malts. Although wort is often fermented "raw" (that is, without boiling), this recipe uses a very short 10 minute boil to sanitize the wort and produce some bitterness from the hops.
The malt bill is adapted from my saison recipe. I also use Styrian Goldings hops in my saison, and since most Norwegian recipes I've found don't give much information (the closest says "any central European Nobel hop" should work), so, Styrian Goldings it is.
Except for this iteration (5/11/17), I'll be substituting Hallertau Mittelfruh, added to the mash, and Cascade and Lemon Drop added at the beginning of the boil and at 5 minutes. Remember, this is only a 10 minute boil.
This beer will be fermented warm (80F) with traditional Kveik yeast.
If I could add anything to this recipe, it might be some juniper branches.

Notes: This is hands down the best IPA I have ever tasted. The fragrence hits you in the face like a birthday cake! The first sip across the pallet brings out a smooth crisp semi-sweet light bodied ale followed by a delicous blend of grapefruit and passion fruit notes and then ends with a light kick in the teeth of bitterness. Perfectly ballenced. I have brewed this three times and the last two times were by request. Enjoy
The OG was slightly high coming in at 1.070 which is what I was counting on to drop the IBUs just a bit. First taste right on course for an amazing trilogy.
Wow. The Mosaic Hops add a new Element to this IPA. Delicous Grapefruit flavers with all the bitterness of big IPA. |
