Notes: From drinkersforukraine.com:

Brewers in Ukraine have seen their livelihoods wiped out and, in some instances, their businesses destroyed by Russian attacks.

To show solidarity with them, we are inviting breweries around the world to brew the Ukrainian Anti-Imperial Stout RESIST, developed by displaced Ukrainian brewers. Once brewed, we’re asking brewers to donate the sales proceeds of RESIST to the Red Cross humanitarian relief effort – as much (or as little) as you can afford.

Notes: Buckwheat honey is a placeholder for bocheted wildflower honey, and the regular honey addition will be a half pound of pecan smoked wildflower honey as well as a pound of regular wildflower honey.

Brew Day and Fermentation Notes:

- Mashed in a bit high, @156f
- Mash tun was not large enough to hold grain bill and full water volume at once, so 1 gal was reserved to rinse the grains in bag after the mash (the listed sparge) Ended up with a much lower than expected pre-boil gravity (reflected by the efficiency number), so will change this next time.
- Had trouble keeping a boil on the stovetop, but this was expected and part of the reason for the extended (90 min) boil. This is reflected in the lower than expected evaporation rate as well.
- Used a thick nylon bag as the hop bag, but the material may have been too thick, and the total volume of hops was too large for the bag; by the end of the boil the bag was very much overfull. Will use a spider or several smaller, thinner, bags next time.
- Started the Bochet at around the 60 min mark during the boil, and carmelized until very dark and the first wisps of smoke began to rise. Dissolved the bochet (outside, with safety goggles - seriously, be safe) with the remaining gallon of water, brought the mixture to a boil, and then added it to the boiling wort around the 15 min mark.
- Also, managed to overflow the bochet pot when the honey first reached a boil; it nearly killed the range and made for one hell of a cleanup job. Keep in mind you need at least 6x the volume of honey as headspace during a bochet.
- Wildflower and Pecan (cold) smoked honeys were added to the carboy just prior to the yeast pitch; the relatively warm wort made dissolving the honeys quick and painless.
- The Fermaid O was added in one batch just before the pitch as, based on my reading, I feared the gravity would drop too quickly to time additions. This worked out just fine, but based on this batch timing additions probably wouldn't be that difficult.
- Significantly underpitched the yeast (perhaps 25-30 ml), and pitched at slightly above 90f. Fermentation was carried out in a glass carboy, with insulated wrapping, placed above a heating pad connected to an inkbird; temperatures were consistent (88f-92f) throughout fermentation. After 6 days activity had ceased, and on the seventh day the carboy was cold crashed for ~6hours and then kegged that evening. While this fermentation was quick, it was also clean - without the esters the strain is noted for or any off flavors. In the future I will probably pitch the entire pack though, just to ensure I don't end up with the off-flavor horror stories I've read about (of course I ran across those stories after the pitch).
- Very important: scream at the spirits as you pitch your yeast, as is traditional, to ensure a good fermentation and un-possessed batch.

------------------------------

Tasting Notes:

This stuff turned out way better than it had any right to be - especially since it was a shot in the dark using pretty much exclusively ingredients I'd never touched before. Toasty caramel, lightly burnt (in a good way) sugar, and sweet round nuttiness dominate, with touches of raisin and prune in the background, before finishing with a Guinness-like tang (presumably from the honey). The hops are very much in a supporting role here; pleasant, but barely noticeable and serving mainly to balance the dominant sweet flavors. Body is medium/medium-light, and the alcohol is noticeable only by a mild warmth and slight perceptibility on the nose, despite the significant proof.

Everyone who has tried this without knowing the abv beforehand has guessed in the ~4% range. Score one for Hornindal, I guess.

Will make this again, and see how improvements in process change the character of the final product; still not sure what changes to the actual recipe I'll make.

Notes: Jon recommends removing or reducing 90 min hop addition.

Yeast will not want to attenuate enough. Ramp up heat after primary fermentation starts to die out.

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.
