Notes: With the berry sensory notes that Sundew Ale (OYL-401) produces, it naturally fits many pale, fruity styles. I wanted to see how the yeast pairs with the flavors of a dark beer (dark chocolate, dried fruit, toffee, coffee, and roasty goodness!) and settled on a stout. By design, this recipe sits in the middle of various stout subclasses and with a few simple adjustments can be tailored to the personal tastes of the brewer. For example, mash with less grain at 148°F for higher attenuation and a drier finish to make a dry Irish stout, or increase the amount of oats to 10-20% to make an oatmeal stout.

The higher mash temperature gives body without being overly sweet, the dehusked and debittered Carafa III adds beautiful roasted color without the astringency, and the flaked oats help with a nice stable head. You may substitute Maris Otter for the Golden Promise. Other possible substitutions include honey malt or a medium crystal malt for the Golden Naked Oats (or whatever you prefer – it is your beer!)

First Gold reflects the more traditional English hop character and also adds some fruity character with a touch of spice. The Ariana hop choice brings a higher alpha acid percentage to the recipe, and also lends some blackcurrant notes. When added to the whirlpool, the hops don’t make the beer overly bitter or overpower the other aromas. For a more traditional English take, I’ve always been a fan of East Kent Golding or Fuggles.

MASH GUIDELINES:
Infusion, Temp: 154°F, Time: 60 min
Boil for 90 minutes

YEAST
OYL-401 Sundew. The temperature range is relatively broad, from 64-78°F. We recommend slight overpitching or a fresh starter for more berry notes. Sundew will shine at fermentation temperatures in the mid-70s.

Even though the boil is 90 minutes, add the first hops at the 60 minute mark. I prefer this method, so that I open a 1 oz packet of hops and dump it into the kettle as opposed to weighing it out or ending up with partial packets lying around.

Notes: ====General notes====
Infuse at 150 for taste on the dry side. If you go lower to 148 or so, no biggy.
====Batch#1. 3/5/2013====
- Efficiency was 86%(!) so I had to cut out the .75 lb of sugar I was going to add.
- Added .2oz Magnum for bittering to make up for oddly low Chinook AA%.
- Mashing ended up at 152. I had something to do, so left it for 2 hours and it got down to 147. That may explain the very high efficiency.
- Got close to 8 gallons in the kettle, so I boiled for about 30min down to 7.2gallons then added my 60min hops & started timer.
- OG was 1.068 for exactly 5 gallons (inc starter)
Thoughts after watching ferment: Maybe this will be too thick & dark. Could cut crystal out altogether, raise sugar to 1.b, & drop the 2 row to 6lbs for 1.014 FG. Would make it a lot dryer and lighter.
- FG after 12days = 1.009. Wow! So dry. That means 7.74% ABV. Glad I didn't add that sugar.
- Dry hopped after 14 days.
====Batch#2. 4/1/2013====
- Lowering the 2row to 8lbs. Removing 1lb Munich. C20 to C10.
- OG = 1.057 :-)
- FG = 1.006 (BRIX 5) // ABV 6.84%
- Tasting: Bittering IBU's need to come down a bit for this dry a beer. Next time aim for 60.
- After 2 weeks, the beer somehow tasted rounded and less hop-forward. Thinking the Simcoe was old and the Nelson was too soft. I would say, drop the initial Chinook way down

Notes: We have used new Crisp grains for this one. Also lot of stirring of the mash and mashed inside the pot. We also added 10ml of CRS which is a big difference from previous.

The temp of the water (i.e. inside the pot) after all mixing and ph testing, just before we left it for one hour was 69ish and the grains 65ish. Assuming the temp stayed in this range as it was insulated well.

Temp calibrated gravity reading was 1.048 which worked out to be around 70%.

Notes: Use Spring Water
Consider the late addition hops at 5 and 0 rather than 10 and 5 to get a more 'hop forward' taste. For this recipe, we followed the original directions for late hop additions.
Original recipe identifies 1.042 as Original Gravity and 1.012 at Final Gravity. ABV should also be at 3.8%.
OG was 1.041
Gravity at secondary ferment was 1.026.

Notes: Setup done in garage, under cover, no wind, ambient temperature approximately 18°C. Heated 45L water in kettle to 70°C strike temperature, added all grain, mashed for 60mins. Insulated kettle with quilts and occy straps. Temperature monitored, dropped to 67°C after 60mins. Stirred mash once, did not want to lose too much heat. BIAB removed with grain, only salvaged minimal liquid from BIAB, did not drain or sparge into separate container. Small lpg burner used to boil - took 90 mins to reach 95°C. Added hops as per hop schedule above using large hooked strainer for Pride of Ringwood hops, subsequent hops added using hop balls placed into the large strainer. Removed heat source, removed hops. First use of immersion chiller (approx 10metres 1/2" copper tubing coil), reduced temperature of wort from approximately 95°C to 25°C in 25mins! Transferred wort to fermenter. Yeast starter made 200ml, added to fermenter. Temperature set on fermenting fridge at 22°C. Active fermentation after 1 day. Temperature drop to 19°C day 5. FG1008 day 15, cold crash to 3°C for 7days. Keg 2 x kegs - not closed transfer but kegs filled with water after cleaning and emptied with CO2 at 10psi. Gas outlet connected to fermenter airlock inlet so C)2 forced out of kegs replaces volume in fermenter. (Best method used so far to reduce oxidation!)

Notes: Wonderfully clean taste. Very little ale-like profile.

First time with the Cream Ale Yeast. It's very nice.

One of the better beers that I have made.
