Notes: Brewed 8/20
Secondary 8/29
Ferment at 63 degrees
Split the whirlpool hops; adding half at flameout. The other half once down to 165F.
Dry Hop in Two stages - 4 days each, split the dry hops in half also. Add the first half to primary. Stage one 8/29. Short .5 centennial, switching 1.0, increasing Apollo by .5.

10 day fermentation (63-64F at first, then ramp up to 68-70F once fermenation slows.
8 day, 2 stage dryhop in primary at 68-70F.
Rack to secondary and 4 day cold condition in the secondary at roughly 39F (basically refrigeration).
Force carb and drink 3-4 days later, or bottle and drink 1.5 to 2 weeks after priming.

Original Plan 13.25 UK Pearl
.65 CaraMalt
1 corn sugar/dextrose

10ml syring HopShot@90 minutes
2.50 oz. Simcoe pellets @ 180 F Whirlpool
1.00 oz. Centennial pellets @ 180 F Whirlpool
0.75 oz. Columbus pellets @ 180 F Whirlpool
0.75 oz. Comet pellets @ 180 F Whirlpool
0.75 oz. Apollo pellets @ 180 F Whirlpool
1.50 oz. Simcoe pellets @ 8 day, Two-Stage Dry Hop
1.50 oz. Centennial pellets @ 8 day, Two-Stage Dry Hop
1.00 oz. Columbus pellets @ 8 day, Two-Stage Dry Hop
1.00 oz. Comet pellets @ 8 day, Two-Stage Dry Hop
0.75 oz. Apollo pellets @ 8 day, Two-Stage Dry Hop

So I took the brewery worksheet figures (referenced with the red circle), scaled them down, and plugged it into Greg Noonan's Vermont Pub & Brewery's Water Witch: https://byo.com/resources/brewwater

As you can see, the layout of this calculator looks incredibly similar to the snapshot of the brew sheet.

Here are the results for 6 gallons: (Keep in mind, the Alchemist reportedly uses "Plaster of Paris" instead of Gypsum. Also, homebrewer lactic acid is typically 88% strength vs. the 85% version shown here).

________________________________________

I supplied two different results (in color). Notice the difference when using Calcium Sulfate Anhydrous (Plaster of Paris) vs. Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate (Gypsum) that must be used to hit 750 mg/L.

The information when whittled down, lines up... 6 gallons, approx. 21.6 grams plaster of paris, 1.2, grams calcium chloride, and then adjust mash pH to 5.1-5.3 with lactic acid.

Notes: I have a fermzilla and pressure connectors so this is my first attempt at fermenting under pressure (allowing it to carbonate in fermenter) and then will use the pressure when it is done fermenting to push through a 1micron filter and into bottles and since it will already be carbonated, I won't be priming with sugar before bottling. I'll update notes along the way.

I also wanted it to be higher than 6% ABV (I mean, this is an IPA after all) so I added 1 LBS of corn sugar to wort after boil which made SG go from 1.061 based on original recipe to 1.069 after boil.

UPDATE 2021-02-10 17:50:00PST:
So after about 2 days of primary fermentation, a seal broke and lost all my pressure after it got up to about 15PSI. I left it alone, dry hopped two days ago.

I bought a CO2 tank and adapters so I can re-pressurize a couple days before bottle but brew shop is closed so I got impatient and bought some dry ice and threw in 1/2LBS into Fermzilla fermenter. Was able to repair the leak from what I can tell while the pressure was building back up. Was able to attach a spout to fermenter and pour some into test tube for SG reading after about 30 minutes of carbonating from dry ice. Poured into test tube pretty carbonated, SG came out to 1.006 after testing multiple times and confirming temp was at 68F. Tasted pretty good actually! I might just do the dry ice trick every brew a couple days before bottle to carbonate. I am also going to attach a water sediment filter with a 5 micron filter before bottling to clear the beer.

Notes: Hatch chile's are to be cut down the center (not deseeded) then chopped into 1/4" pieces and put in a jar, then filled with vodka just above the chile's, then chilled in the fridge for a week. Peel skins off of mango's then put in muslin bag.

Pitch and ferment 70F. When fermentation slows, rack to purged keg on top of bagged (and weighted, you want them submerged but not interfering with dip tube) whole hops and let fermentation finish at 70F for 5 days under a little pressure. Drop to 38F or so and force carb. Carb to 2.0vol and enjoy fresh!

Notes: The original American craft beer. Mashed in a pot on the stovetop and sparged in a collander.

An easy way to hold mash temp is to put the pot into your oven at the lowest temp. Mine goes to 170 and with a good stir every 20 min, it stays right where I want it.
