Notes: Overall Impression: A strong golden, mildly bitter, highly attenuated, and balanced carbonated Trappist-style ale, showing a fruity-spicy Trappist yeast character, a spicy-floral hop profile, and a soft, supportive grainy-sweet malt palate.

Aroma: High Trappist yeast character, showing a fruity-spicy character along with medium spicy and floral hops, enhanced by sweet orange and coriander spice additions. Heavy grainy-sweet malt backdrop, with medium-light honey quality. Spicy, yeast-driven phenolics.

Appearance: Dark gold color. Slight haze, with a moderate-sized, persistent, billowy-white head with characteristic lacing.

Flavor: Fruity, hoppy, bitter, and dry. Initial malty-sweet
impression, with a grainy-sweet soft malt palate, and a dry,
hoppy finish. The malt provides a honeyed biscuit impression. Moderate spicy and floral hop flavor. Orange, apricot, yellow apple esters. Pepper, and clove phenolics. Bitterness rises towards the dry finish, with an aftertaste of malty, moderate hops, and a yeasty character.

Mouthfeel: Heavy body. Smooth. Soft, with balanced carbonation. Alcohol warmth.

Notes:

Total water used 6.6

preboil 5.7g
SG

Temp gauge mishap!? strike temp 159. after grains temp 143, wft. flame on till temp 150. (But was my themometer just so off?!) Later mesauring temp for samples it was really screwy, saying ground water was 98 and then bouncing around, MFer! gonna buy a good one.

Post 70 minute boil ==> 4.25g into fermentor. ~0.25 left in kettle
after boil 22.0Brix = 1.092
Then clarified sample from fermenter = SG 1.087 (21.6 brix)

so pretty shity efficiency... ?!?!? <--high gravity

Pitched 1/23 at 10pm at 65F.
1/24 am - chugging away. Temp read 70 added blanket. Plan to free rise up to 80 for 5 days.

1/31 Brix 10.4.
2/2 Brix 10.3 Temp down to 60
2/7 Brix 10.2 = 1.013. Transferred to Keg (~4-4.2 gallons not sure). purged co2 Plan to bulk age 2 months at 50F
Kept a mason jar of yeast slurry to repitch at bottling.

6 months bulk aging in keg

July 5 2018:
Brix 9.8/9.7 = 1.010 = 9.8%ABV!
weight of full corney = 42.8
volume by weight: 4.014

Will add a fresh starter of wlp540 and priming sugar to bottle

starter = 400ml of 1.036 and two teaspoons from the old slurry

7-10-18: Bottled 2.8 vols and using 125 grams of corn sugar and yeast slurry off of the Keg.

Notes: Inspired by Rodenbach Grand Cru, New Belgium La Folie and Love, plus Pizza Port Le Woody. Formulated with help from professional brewers in America and Belgium that have experience with this style, this is another acid ale.

Step by Step:

Step mash with a rest at 122 °F (55 °C) for 20 minutes, a rest at 145 °F (63 °C) for 40 minutes and a saccrification rest at 162 °F (72 °C) for 40 minutes. Sparge with 168 °F (76 °C) water for an hour. Boil wort for 90 minutes, adding hops for final 60 minutes of boil.

Pitch the yeast and bacteria pack straight into the cooled wort (no starter). Ferment in a plastic bucket for 27 days at 70 °F (21 °C), then transfer to another plastic bucket and condition beer at 70 °F (21 °C) for 5.5 months. Keg beer.

-Hold 2 gallons of purified water at between 145-160F
-Put grain bag around kettle pot, fill with grain and stir a few times
-Hold for 1 hour

**Sparge**

-Squeeze grain bag out over kettle pot
-Put grain bag in bucket and poor purified 170F water overtop until covered
-Let sit for 10 minutes then squeeze out the bag and poor water into kettle pot

**Boil 1**

-Fill kettle pot up with purified water
-Boil for 15 minutes to sanitize wort

**Souring**

-Cool and maintain at 86-104F (optimal 95-100F).

-Add Bittering (Centennial) hops at 20 minutes
-Add 4 pods worth of cardamom seeds at 5mins.
-Add Flavouring hops (Mosaic, Amarillo) at 0 minutes

> *remember that special hops are 2X as potent as regular hops at same weight.*

**Pitch**

-Cool to correct temperature on yeast package
-Add water to buckets but leave room for fruit
-Pitch yeast

**Additions (after 1 week)**

Dry Hop/Fruit/Vanilla
-Put fruit evenly in grain bags and let it defrost
-Add dry hops (Mosaic and Amarillo) evenly to hop bags
-Split open vanilla beans, scrape inside out and soak all in vodka for 10 minutes

Notes: Based on 'Behold a Pale Ale' and a light version of '200 meter pale ale'.

NOTE: All hops except dry hops were at least 2 months old so I increased quantities to account for this (but haven't adjusted the AA ratings of the hops).
