| Notes: Full bodied, pale-colored ale with medium hop expression derived from traditional landrace variety hops. Inspired legacy ale based on my interpretation of 19th century English mild (XXX) ales but brewed with a North American heirloom variety barley and hops. |

| Notes: Soak oak chips in Mescal overnight. Then pour out the liquid or get rid of too many oak tannins. Then soak again until you are ready to add to fermenter for a week (at end of fermentation). This is delicious. |

Notes: Brewed 03/07/2026 - 03/08/2026.
splitting the brewing between afternoon and morning. Plan to mash, sparge and drain the malt tube, heat to ~180, heat, seal and set timer for the AM to boil.
mashed in at 151F with 7 gallons of water. reduced power to 45%. Took ph at 5.45 :-)
about 1 hour in, got 1.044
got 1.046-1.047 at entry to mash out.
mashed out at 170, added carafa malt. 10 minutes, raise the basket and vourlauf 5mins.
Straight into sparge, water set at 180F. Sparged 2 gallons to 8.1 gallons measured and got
1.045
Draining the malt tube, stopping here for the night.
Will add the malt pipe runnings and recheck tomorrow am and adjust accordingly.
03/08/2026:
It sounded like a good idea at the time. Anvil 18 control panel dark. kettle was on and warming up, but the panel went out. Tried to reset, will need to adjust volume, etc and boil in the digiboil 110.
took pH pre-boil, 5.45. added in a handful of tartaric acid
started about 1700-ish
As expected, the boil off calculation was nothing more than an uneducated guess. at 60m into the hop schedule, plus about 10m pre-boil, showing 1.044, expecting 1.049.
Removed hops, trying to salvage efforts to date.
took another 30 minutes to reach about 1.048 on the refractometer (recently calibrated), stopped the boil.
T/F to fermenter, Pitched 6 month old, 4 pitch Bavarian lager from the fridge and added a fresh packet to be sure.
Gravity down from 1.049 to 1.046 on 3/9 AM.
I can't believe I actually made the numbers for this brew!
03/13/2026, PM: 1.012 on the tilt. Cold crashing, will harvest yeast and keg.
