Notes: Keys from conversations with co-owner & brewer John Kimmich at Alchemist:
- Dry hop at 36 degrees F
- Avoid oxygen at all costs!!
- Do not think you have to go crazy with dry hops, John hops at 4-5lbs per barrel (2-2.6oz gallon)
- Do not dry hop for more than 48-60 hours!!
- John was sheepish about stating fermentation temperatures, follow guidelines and adjust as you repeat
Updated from Jan/Feb 2024 article. Notes from interview added above. Acid additions adjusted based on my water, change as needed. |

Notes: After lauter and collection of 4.25 gallons of wort, 3 cups were separated and brought to boil in SS pot of Instant Pot, on stove. Then added 25 gr Hallertau hops on bag for high pressure of 15 minutes (appx 12 PSI pressure) . This was then added to the 4.25 gals of wort to boil for 20 minutes before adding additional hops 5 minute before flame out.
Trub was withdrawn from the conical fermenter before adding yeast, ( S-189, S-23, Voss Kveik all collected from earlier ferment, made into starter with 1.050 wort)
Fermented to 1.009 S.G. in about 3 days and fined with Gelatin @ 1/2 tsp / 1/2 cup water on 1-4-2018. cold crashed and then put into purged 3 gal. keg on Saturday, 1-6-17 + 1 gallon container filled (after purge with CO2)
NOTE: Took a small sample and after checking Brix/S.G. put in pop bottle and carbonated at 15 psi and put in fridge. Later tasted... GREAT!

Notes: The Pilsner was an efficiency addition, since mine was quite low. If yours is normal you can leave out the Pilsner malt altogether. This beer had a slight issue during fermentation. On a few days the temp exceeded 75 degrees, but was quickly chilled in a large bucket and kept there for a week at 65 degrees. Right before the cold crash and during the chill phase a salty and slightly funky smell was coming from the airlock and the beer. Samples tasted fine, but had a bad smell which therefor inhibited taste mildly.
I thought perhaps the higher temps caused the yeast to produce off flavors and after researching London 1028 I found that it can produce sulfur notes at high temps. I wouldn't call what I smelled sulfur, but since it is known to produce some odd notes at times I figured I could let this pass. I also though the yeast itself was the cause, so I added finnings during the crash to drop it out.
Good news is after bottling and letting them condition for another week the odd smell is completely gone.
Taste Notes:
Aroma - Smells roasty with a hint of sweetness and malt. A tad earthy from the Goldings.
Color - SRM is spot on.
Taste - Roast up front with hop bitterness as the roast recedes. No pronounced big malt flavor.
Body - Dry, balanced. |
