Notes: PRE-BREW
1. Make yeast starter 2-3 days before Brew Day.
2. Go ahead and make the two tinctures. They have a very long shelf life.
2a. Glühwein Tincture:
To 3 oz. rum, add the anise, lemon & orange zest, cinnamon, cloves.
Saison Tincture:
2b. To 3 oz. vodka, add the coriander, pepper, ginger and nutmeg.
2c. Put both into sterilized jars with tight-fitting lids in a cool, dark place until Bottling Day.
BREW DAY
3. First, make the wort. But during the boil, add ONLY the hops and Irish Moss, not the spices.
FERMENTATION
4. Proceed with Primary fermentation of the whole batch for ~10 days. Don't forget the dry hop addition.
5. Proceed with Secondary Fermentation.
BOTTLING DAY
6. Transfer half the beer into the bottling bucket. Add priming sugar and Saison tincture TO TASTE, stir gently, rest 30 min. and bottle. Then do the same with the Glühwein batch. NOTE: I ended up using 10 tsp. of tincture in 1.5 gal. beer for each batch.

Notes:
Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=51, Mg=10, Na=16, Cl=71, S04=71
(Keeping the Cl:S04 ratio even for a balance between malt and bitterness, hitting the minimums on Ca and Mg).
Grind the roasted barley fine (I use a setting of 10) and add it after the 90 minute mash rest is complete. This avoids lowering the mash pH too far and reduces the chance of astringency which can occur from over-steeping highly roasted grains. Once the 90 minute mash is over, stop the mash pump, add the roasted barley, and give it a good stir to mix it into the existing grain bed. You need to stir well as otherwise the fine layer of powdery roasted barley on top may stop the flow. Start the mash pump again and continue with your mashout. The wort will be cloudy again but it will clear as the grain bed rises to mashout temperature over 20-30 minutes.
Try and use the recommended White Labs WLP-004 or Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeasts. While something like Fermentis Safale US-05 (American Ale / Chico) yeast can be substituted and works well, it's just not the same as it's a bit too clean fermenting and lacks some of the complexity.
Serve this beer with fairly low carbonation (the lower the better in my humble opinion, or even better, as a cask ale). If you have the means to serve it through a beer engine with no extra carbonation at all other than residuals left over from fermentation, do it! I think you'll really enjoy the difference. I serve mine on a stout faucet pushed by 30/70 C02/Nitrogen blend to get a nice creamy head and close to flat beer, exactly how Guinness is served on tap. One cheap and inexpensive way to (sort of) mimic this is to use a syringe. Pour the beer as you would normally and then suck up a syringe full and force it back into the beer, hard. Repeat 2-3 times and you'll knock most of the C02 out of solution leaving a nearly flat beer with a creamy head. Over carbonation destroys a lot of the subtleties of this beer. Don't over carbonate!
add 88% lactic acid to the beer after fermentation is done, before kegging. This is said to be what Guinness does today because it's cheaper, easier, and more efficient than relying on bacteria. All is takes is around 3-4 ml per 5 gallon keg. Go sparingly adding 0.5 ml at a time until the taste is to your liking. You can also use this method to do a trial run to see if you like the results: Once the beer is kegged and on tap, add 1-2 drops with an eye dropper to a 16 oz glass of beer and see what you think. 1 drop per 16 oz is equivalent to 2 ml in 5 gallons. Careful not to overdo it! |

Notes: Important
I recommend for High-gravity a (Double Mash) method for Braumeister 20l, efficiency 70 % for that
Instructions
. First Mash:
Half of the grains without black malt in the pipe, make
the Sparge to reach 25 L for that 4l sparge warter.
. Second Mash:
Other half of the grains in the pipe with Carafa I in the last 40 minutes.4l sparge warter.
Aerate the wort at 20C. with 12ppm pure oxygen 12hr late add more 12ppm of pure oxygen again. Yeast: American ale II
Fermentation at 20 c.
.Cold crash "90 days or more" at 2c˚
“Full body with a strong hop character throughout. The late hops are bright and citrusy. Complex bread and caramel base with a moderate fruitiness. Clean fermentation with a strong alcohol punch, this needs some age to let the alcohol and hops come back into balance.”
Excerpt From: Strong, Gordon. “Modern Homebrew Recipes: Exploring Styles and Contemporary Techniques.” iBooks.

Notes: Honey is orange blossom honey and is added at end of primary directly to fermenter.
1/2 minerals added at mash the other half added during the boil after sparging.
Ferment at 64 then let naturally rise into mid to high 70's to finish. Add honey/fruit after the malt has mostly finished fermenting. Keep honey ferment cool then let free rise after a few days. Add oak once most of ferment is done before racking for 5 days.
Total water needed is 11 gallons. Mash strike temp is 6 gallons at 130. Sparge at 170 with the other 5 gallons Use Herms to keep mash range at 145 for 45 minutes then raise up to 155. for 45 minutes.
