Notes: Mash at 156 for 60 minutes. Ferment at 65 and slowly raise to 70 towards the end.

Notes: 17.35 pushed my Clawhammer to the max. This caused poor efficiency and grain getting into the mash. Should have used a bit less water as I had too much even after a 90 minute boil. Double check the grain absorption rate for my equipment. Only had 1 oz of chocolate malt so I made up for it with black malt.
Next time use less grain and more DME to get higher SG.

Notes: SG 1.108
FG 1.026 going into secondary
FG 1.024 at bottling.
3 week’s in primary, 3 week’s in the secondary. Appeared to be some fermentation going on the last week of secondary.

2oz bourbon oak in 8oz makers mark added all to secondary. 5oz of coffee in 16 oz water - cold brewed coffee added at bottling. May add half to boil next time and cold brew rest.

Bottled 3-2-18

Think I have an infection in my bottling bucket. After 3 months in the bottle, FG is 1.012 and highly carbonated. One bomber exploded in the box.

Fly sparge with 0.34 gal water at 168 F.
Ferment at 64 F for 7 days. Transfer to secondary and add your chiles. Once the desired level of heat has been added, crash the beer for 3 days at 39 F

3-1517
BREW DAY
A LOT OF TEMP SWING FOR THE MASH WATER NOT WATCHING IT
TEMP AT GOOD AT MASH IN 168F
FORGOT TO SMACK YEAST AT FIRST
HALFWAY THROUGH MASH WE SMACKED IT AND THE SIDE BLEW OUT
WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE BASTARDS AT NB FOR A DOUBLE REFUND
REMEMBERED STIR PLATE WAS FIXED
STARTED A YEAST STARTER @7PM W/:
16OZ FAST PITCH
16OZ WATER
1PK US-05
MADE CHILI AND IT WAS A TIT SPICY
IT WAS BETTER COOLED OFF AND WITH TEXAS TOAST
WE WILL LEAVE THE STIR PLATE OVER NIGHT AND PITCH INTO SEALED WORT NEXT WEEK

ACTUAL PRE BOIL OG = 1.066
ACTUAL PRE BOIL OG RIGHT BEFORE BOIL = 1.054
ACTUAL OG = 1.073
GREAT BREW NIGHT EVRYTHING WAS SMOOTH
WE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH BTLS TO BOTL THE QUAD OR THE SURLY WORT HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO NEXT WEEK

CHECK FG @ 3-22-17
DRY HOP 2OZ WARRIOR ON 3-29-17

4-26-17
BTLING DAY
FIRST TIME KEGGING WITH PIN LOCK KEG
WE ARE DOING A PRESSURE TEST
COLOR OF THE FINISHED BEER CHANGED DRAMATICALLY AFTER ADDING PEPPERS - MUCH DARKER THAN EXPECTED
KRAUSEN ON TOP LOOKS THICK (STILL IN PRIMARY)
FG=1.000 SO (ABV?)
WENT WELL, PIN LOCK WAS GOOD
SET CO2 TO 24PSI AND WILL LEAVE FOR 72HRS
THEN TURN DOWN TO 2-3PSI
TASTING WAS SPICY AFTE TASTE AND TASTED WELL WITH HOP CHARACTER

5-25-17
REVIEWS FROM OTHERS WAS GOOD, VERY "UNIQUE"
EVERY TASTING THE PAST MONTH OF MAY WAS AMAZING
GREAT HEAD RETENTION
SPICINESS LINGERS IN THE AFTERTASTE (ESPECIALLY AFTER EXHALING)
FANS OF SPICE WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BEER
PINEY FORWARD BITTERNESS FOLLOWED BY SMOKEY CREEPINESS OF SPICE (UNEXPECTED)
AROMA DOESN'T HAVE MUCH OF A SPICY DETECTION , ALMOST MORE MALTY THAN BITTER
SWEET AND SPICY (NOT LIKE CHINESE FOOD)

Notes: lager malt, Propino extra pale and Crisp Maris Otter = odd mixture .. just using up end of stuff! Carafa III added 60min into mash cycle.

Mash pH @ 60 min = 5.40
Mash pH @ 90 min = 5.28
Pre boil pH = 5.30
Post boil pH = 4.98
Beer pH = 4.28

Effeiency at 74% so 1.2kg of Dextrose added:

OG = 1060
OG after dextrose =1074
FG = 1013
ABV = 8.02%
IBU = 77.33
SRM = 33.07

Racked on 1-3-16 (1.5L-2L loss from yeast trub) and FG now 1011 with attenuation by to 83%:
OG = 1074
FG = 1011
ABV = 8.22%

Racked on 7-3-16 with 1500ml loss and 1L sterile water added:
OG = 1072
FG = 1011
ABV = 7.98
IBU = 75.05
SRM = 32.40

Racked on the 16-3-16 with 1L loss.500ml added at racking + 200ml at bottling on: -----(with dextrose 135g):
OG = 1072
FG = 1011
ABV = 7.98%

FG: 1.014 (Going for 1.016)

Mashed lower than hoped -- 149degrees. Water in cooler was at 170 before adding grain. Kettle water was 175. Need to bump kettle water up to 182 to get where I want to be. I had to add a 1 quart boiling water infusion to get me close to where I was looking for at 60 minutes. Drained 4ish gallons each time. Hit great efficiency at 80%.

Musilin bag for the hops at 5 minutes and flameout.

Whirlpooled between 175-181 for 30 minutes. Burner was put on low after getting temp down too far. Rose over 20 minutes to 181.

----

I didn't have enough headroom in my 6.5gal carboy with 6 gallons of liquid. After 8 hours of fermentation, wort had 1 inch of Krausen. After 24 hours temp was at 68deg and blowing krausen through tube. Cleaned and brought temperature down. After 5 days, returned home after being away, krausen pushed open the lid (it remained on though) and filled up my blowoff jar. I need to use a bigger jar! Wort temp was 71 degrees. The Cool Brewing Bag not only contained the damage but probably kept a lot of bad stuff from entering, especially since the CO2 level in the bag was much higher. American II can handle this temp well so i'm unconcerned about fusels at this point.

Gravity after 5 days reads 1.014; recipe was looking for 1.016 but I also started 4 points lower with my OG. I'll test with a hydrometer in a few days when a rack over to secondary.

Gravity after 10 days reads 1.014 from hydrometer. 8.14% ABV, 81% attenuation.

--

Carboy went into the fridge for 1 hour to quickly bring the wort temp down to 62*. Transferred primary to the cool bag with a gallon ice for another 20 hours.

Purged secondary and racked onto 1oz galaxy, 1oz citra on day 11. Smells and tastes amazing -- extremely pineappley, some tangerines as well. Reminds me more of fruit juice than beer at this point.

Notes: Mash started 09:45
pH tested 10:00 = 6, tested again 10:50 maybe just over
Started raising to boil at 10:55
Drew off 14l for a half batch at 11:10
First batch reached boil at 11:25

I split this batch into two halves. One was aroma hopped with 45g Mosaic and 20g Challenger; then dry hopped with a similar amount. The other was aroma and dry hopped with similar amounts of Citra, Centennial and Chinook. Note these were in batches of 12.5 litres so the hopping rates are massively high.

The first batch - Citra, Centennial and Chinook was undrinkable and the first batch I have ever had to throw away. Just way too bitter and too overpowering a hop flavour. It was like the brewdog barley wine but even hoppier. A slightly TCP/medicinal flavour. Just too much. I think the Chinook may have tipped it over the edge.

The 2nd batch - Mosaic, Northdown and Challenger - was right at the edge but drinkable.

Also, I didn't like WLP007 very much. It seemed to stop towards the end of the fermentation and I had to restart it by adding another starter. It was very flocculent and formed a putty-like sludge that was easy to harvest though - but I didn't want to keep it.
