Notes: This brew was designed around what grains my local shop had in stock. The goal was a lightly coloured, high alcohol braggot (a type of barley wine/mead.) I wanted 2-row to be the main grain, & the Avangard pre-ground was on the shelf; a 20L Caramel/Crystal (they had darker) milled in the store was a last minute addition. I ended up using 4lb of raw buckwheat honey + 2lb or raw wildflower honey, which took this from pale to well into the amber. I did want Kent Goldings to be front, and chose the nugget just cause. Love me some 71B for most of my meads, so went there here.
3rd day gravity reading: 1.032 (current ABV ~13% per the Hall Equation.) Too much hops at this point.
9th day gravity reading: 1.030. Keeping it in primary, adding the red star now. Well, really the lees from my hydromel. Hopefully this kickstarts some fermentation. If not, I will try a champagne yeast. Hops are strong, but in a really good way—my hop-head sister will love this if I can get the FG down. |

Notes:
FIRST DRY HOP
Don’t worry too much about oxidation here, just be quick in adding the hops if going through the top.
SECOND DRY HOP
You HAVE to flush the headspace with CO2. You can easily bubble this up through the beer. Do so for 30 seconds before adding the hops and 30 seconds about an hour afterwards. This both protects the beer and rouses the hops to increase utilisation.
CRASH CHILL
As you crash to 2C air will be sucked into the fermenter. To avoid this, fill a balloon with CO2 and put it over the top of the blow tube. It will then suck in CO2.
…..
Right, that’s enough oxidation chat. Here’s our Citra, Mosaic and BRU-1 homebrew NEw England IPA recipe made with Lallemand’s Verdant Ale Yeast. Expect big apricot, mango, vanilla and pineapple notes.

Notes: This recipe was originally a kit called 'Black F-Rye-Day Pale Ale' from Adventures in Homebrewing. However, I changed it quite a bit.
I set my mill gap as tight as possible to mill the grain (except the malted rye) as close to flour as I could to ensure optimal extraction.
First wort hopped with .75 ounce Magnum and 1-ounce Spalt Select at 5 minutes.
Pulled 1 liter or wort from mash and diluted to 2 liters to make a starter. When I pitched the yeast I added all the wort back into fermentor, bringing gravity down to 1.073. Will add half a pound brown sugar to increase gravity by 4 points.
Will age on .75 ounce of medium toast oak chips that have been soaked in rye whiskey after fermentation is complete. |

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.
