Notes: The source for the grain and hop bill comes from Dan's Belgian Quad as noted above. However, there are several deviations both from the standard Belgian styles and the baseline recipe, including the use of cane sugar over dextrose and darker candi sugar as adjuncts. The biggest modifications, however, come from the use of Lutra yeast and the warming spices. Lutra was used for rapid take-off to reduce infection risk from primary spices.

Grains were mashed at 150 for 2.25 hours, dropping to 142 over that period by cold water additions and removal of mash tun lids.

Adjuncts (brown sugar, cane sugar, candi syrup) were added at the start of boil after protein break. Hop additions are noted in recipe, immersion chiller added at 15 minutes, boil spice additions added at 5 minutes. Immersion chilled to just under 100 degrees.

Yeast was pitched at 96 degrees F and fermented in a controlled temperature room at 85 degrees for six days, then reduced to 72 degrees F for 2 days. Actual OG was 1.094, and actual FG was 1.008. 11.3%ABV.

The beer was fermented in two separate 8 gallon Anvil stainless steel fermenters, each receiving one packet of Lutra pitched dry. A cheesecloth sachet was fashioned to contain half each of the primary spices noted in the recipe. Total time in primary was 8 days, FG holding firm at 1.008 for two days prior to packaging.

5 gallons were kegged (2x2.5 gallons) and force carbonated, 5 gallons are barrel-aging in a medium toast/medium char American white oak Bad Motivator whiskey barrel. After a few weeks, the barrel-aged beer will be bottle conditioned with Lallemand CBC-1.

The kegged beer is absolutely incredible. Wildly complex and the flavors evolve over the course of several sips. Excited to try the barrel-aged in a month or two.

Notes: 20,5 liters of water prepared with salts. Reduce to 10 liters for mash.

Step mash, here’s the Oedipus regime: Mash in at 55°C;

45°C rest: 20-25 min (Important for Clove / Pepper taste coming from the Yeast.)

As you raise the temperature slowly of the Mash hold at 55°C for a protein rest of 5 min

raise to 62°C, rest 45 minutes;

raise to 68°C, rest 15 minutes;

raise to 72°C, rest 15 minutes;

then raise to 78°C, rest 5 minutes, and mash out.

Sparge with 10,5 liters and top up as necessary to get about 16 liters of wort.

Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule.

After the boil, chill to about 20°C, aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Allow the temperature to free rise during fermentation, but no higher than 28°C.

When fermentation is complete and the gravity has stabilized, crash, condition cold, and carbonate to a relatively high level.

Notes: Lower IBUs (<10) if you want it more acidic, Higher IBUs (>18IBUs) for lower acidity. 18 IBUs or more to ensure final pH is >3.6 for restrained acidity.

Medium-toast French oak spiral for 3-5 weeks (to taste preference)

Pitched Yeast Bay cultures at 72 F and held for 12 hours, ramp up to 88 F over 7 days; approximately 2 weeks in primary
Pitched SARA Cellarman dregs (from starter) in secondary; approximately 4-6 months in secondary

Dreg Starter (for secondary fermentation)
1. Refrigerate your bottle for one week.
2. Open bottle or can and sanitize the lip with a flame. NOTE: You may also want to spray sanitizer on and around the cap before opening.
3. Gently pour the beer into a glass, leaving the sediment (yeast) in the bottle.
4. Swirl the sediment/yeast in the bottle and re-flame the lip.
5. Pour sediment into a sanitized container.
6. Grow your yeast using a stepped starter – start with 200mL of wort (1.020), then let ferment for three to five days or until fermentation noticeable. Then add an additional 800mL of wort (1.030) and let ferment an additional three to five days. Ramp up again if necessary.

Notes: Brewed 1/5/15. Strike water was 167F and it brought it to 152F. I cooled it down to 148 by recirculating 2gal and stirring. PH was 5.1 which was lower than expected. Probably shouldn't have put as much acid malt in there. Sparged to about 9 and maybe a pint, decided to let it be a bit short due to a thick yeast slurry. Also, the spareg water ran out so maybe a bit more next time. Brix of runnings never dropped below 3. Runnings into the kettle were 10.43 which puts it at about 90% efficiency. Probably due to the excess sparging. Had a very vigorous boil which I kicked up in the last 20min. I collected about 5.5ish gal. The efficiency was up this time maybe due to the corn sugar. Brew is sitting at 68F. After a couple hours it had cooled down to 66F. I decided to heat it up a little but accidentally got it up to 70/71F for probably an hour. I cooled it back down to 66-68F. It was probably warm for about an hour, however, yeast activity had already started. 1/6/15 morning it had crept to 68F and I cooled it down to 66F. By evening time it had heated up to 68F so I cooled it down to about 65F. By morning it was sitting at 66F and by evening it had risen up to about 68F. 1/8 morning it was sitting at 68F still, I put it on a heater and by evening it was about 70/72F. 1/9 I raised it up more degrees in the morning to 72F (hard to tell with the therm stickers where is specifically is as they are messed up a bit). 1/10 I heated it up in the morning to 74F. 1/11 heated it up to 75/76F. 1/12 and 1/13 I heated it up a bit more and it's not sitting at 78F. It appears that it is still fermenting a little bit. Gravity reading on 1/18 put it at about 1.006 or 1.008, hard to tell. Fermentation might have kicked back up in the evening but I am considering whether to pitch the french saison. 1/19 decided to take gravity reading and chill it down to 60F which pit it at 1.010 (84% attenuation). Decided to cool it down a little and pitch the french saison (about 250 billion cells) at about 75F. 1/27 took a gravity reading which put it at 1.006, took it out of the swamp also. 2/1/15 biofined with 2tbs. 2/3/15 kegged half and bottled conditioned half. The bottles were carbonated to about 2.85 volumes. I wanted to do a bit less than that but I only got about 2.33gal from the keg vs the 2.5 I was expecting. Might be nice to do a bottle conditioned vs keg conditioned comparison. Bottle code BS2.
