Notes: 1. Bring 2.0 gallons of water to 160 degrees

2. Allow to cool to 155 degrees and keep it there and add all the grains. Keep the grains steeping at that temp for 75 minutes.

3. Sparge grains with 2.0 gallons of warm tap water.

4. Add extracts and bring to boil.

5. Once boiling, add 0.5 ounce of Saaz and 0.5 ounce of Styrian hops

6. After 25 min of boiling add the orange peel, crushed coriander, and remain hops in a hop bag.

7. After a total of 30 min of boiling, remove wort from heat.

8. Cool wort in ice bath to at least 85 degrees and transfer wort to a fermenter.

9. Top off fermenter with previously boiled and cooled water to 5.25 gallons and stir

10. Take an O.G. reading

11. Add yeast to fermenter and stir. Ferment for 1 week and take a S.G. When appropriate transfer to secondary.

12. Bottle beer after 2 or 3 weeks and keep in the house around 68-70 for a week.

*****NO MORE THAN 5.5 LBS OF GRAIN IF POSSIBLE, DUE TO HAVING A SMALL STRAINER

CaSO4 and CaCl2 added to achieve ~ Ca 90 ppm with the SO4:Cl ratio at ~1:1 starting from rainwater so no Na, Mg or CO3. For me, using water measured to contain <0.1mg of any of the brewing ions, 6g each of CaSO4 and CaCl2 in 35L of water.

Notes: Excellent flavor and strong hops bouquet. Hops blend (Simcoe, Columbus, Citra) gives notes of pine and citrus fruit with some of the unique floral and berry characters of Citra. Cascade goes in early in the boil due to low alpha content. Most of the bitter come from the Hop add with 15 minutes to go. Dry hopped Cascade to give it an all American balance. Medium bitterness with strong hop aroma and flavor. Higher than normal alcohol content for APA, at top of the band, but it fits. Almost an IPA, but would need to start with a higher gravity. You can lower the alcohol by dropping the wheat extract, but adjust the hops too or it'll be too bitter.

Yeast starter - use 3.6 oz (103g) dry malt extract (DME) [I use pilsner 2L DME] per liter of water. My starter is a 1 liter starter, assumed 6B cells per gram of dry yeast (US-05), giving 165B cells for a 144B requirement. If you aim for a pitch rate between .5 and .75million/ml/P, then it's good. You could just buy a couple more yeast packages to make it easier (which I will do next time!!) (each packet is about 66B cells). Then there's no need for a starter. Just hydrate them with tepid water before adding to wort. Aim for around 200B cells for a 5.5 gallon batch.

Grains added to cold water, which was heated to 165F and steeped for 30 minutes.

There are only three hop adds to the boil: 60 min, 15 min (with the Irish moss), and a quick 5 min in the boil. Use hop bags because it makes draining your wort significantly easier!, but don't put the moss in the bag!

Boil off losses should be topped off with distilled water during the boil.

Maintain in primary (at 70F, keep below 74F to avoid off flavors) until no noticeable bubble formation in fermentation lock over one-minute period (about 7-10 days). Then transfer to secondary and add dry hops in a sanitized hop bag secured with fishing line and weighted down with sanitized marbles to suspend in middle of carboy. 14 more days in secondary. Remove dry hops and bottle as below. [Post brewing note: 4 oz of dry hops are a lot! Even with 20 marbles, I was not able to submerge the hop bag completely. This is easier with a bucket type fermenter. Stuffing the hop bag through the tiny carboy opening is a chore and takes some time and patience, but it can be done!]

Priming with 5oz corn sugar, gives strong carbonation with good head retention.

Notes: An homage to the beautiful island of Mauritius - this is a tropical IPA using experimemtal hops grown in southern Africa. Pineapple, citrus, melon, and more. Transport yourself to the Indian Ocean by cracking open a bottle!

Thankfully this one's not extinct!

Added 2L of tap water after pitching. yeast.

FG was 1.014 - spot on. Transferred to 3G keg on November 11 and hit with 30 PSI for almost 2 days.

All foam after 2 days @ 30 PSI. Dip tube was also crammed with hop sediment, weird. Cleaned it out and working fine. Lowered to 10 PSI for serving.

First taste on Nov 13 2014. 80% head from the keg. Hopefully will not keep this up given two more days @ 10 PSI. App: A nice copper, almost light brown colour. Off-white head with good retention. Aroma: Moderate woody hoppiness. Taste: Slightly toasty with caramel maltiness. Relatively dry and clean. Typical lager after-taste. MF: Average. Medium body and medium carbonation. Overall: Good, but still a lager - not the biggest fan. Might be slightly fruity, which is not good for the style. Emma says one of the better lagers she has had.

Description: This easy drinking, no-frills beer is my first ever to be kegged! Enjoy 3 gallons of this copper-coloured, crisp and fresh lager with the underlying and complex characteristics of an ale fermentation. The resulting brew, a California Common Ale, will tickle your taste buds and want you leaving more. Here is some testimony: "Probably one of the best lagers I have ever tried" - Emma. 4.9% abv, 39 IBUs

Notes: Add grain to 8.5 gallons water at 153°F for a target mash of 147°F. Hold mash temp for 60 minutes. Recirculate mash until wort is free from large amounts of grain. Drain off wort into boil kettle for ~8 gallons (sparge as needed). Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at 15 minutes and flameout as specified. Drain off ~6 gallons of wort to fermenter. Add glucoamylase to wort as directed (NOTE: glucoamylase is denatured at higher temperatures. Do NOT add to kettle). Pitch yeast as directed. After terminal gravity is reached, add dry hops and crash after two days. Package to higher carbonation (~2.7- 3 Volumes CO2).
