Notes: Brewed 3/23/14. Hit 150F with a about 1 pound of re-circulation. Little stuck when recircing so I cleared it by back blowing into a tube. I actually forgot to make the water profile and accidentally used the golden strong one. Seems to be about right for this beer as well though. The pH reading was 5.1 which is a little low. Not sure if that is the actual reading or if it's because my probe is going bad. Into kettle efficiency was 89%. I stopped the sparge at about 8gal and about 2.5 (1.010) brix to avoid extracting tannins. Also topped of with a quart of regular water to bring to boil to 8.25gal. Got 5.75 gallons on the nose. Hit my expected OG very well too. 3/14 I chilled it down a lot last night and apparently too much because this morning it was sitting at about 59F. Will let it ramp up throughout the day to hopefully about 65-68F. By the evening it has drifted up to about 63F. 3/25 temp had drifted up to 67F by the morning so cooled it down to about 65F. Crept up to about 68F by evening so I chilled it down to 65F. 3/26 the temp was still about 65F in the morning but had crept up to about 66/67F by evening. 4/6/14 took a gravity reading and biofined with 2 tbsp. Kegged 4/10/14. |

Notes: Splitting batch and pitching 05 on 1 and Nottingham on the other. Both rehydrated.
Over shot my water on this batch so I ended up boiling for 2 hours.
City water with 2 tsp. Gypsum, .5 tsp Calc Cloride and .5 tsp. Epsom added to all water up front.
I'll update the attenuation when it finishes, but it should be high.
I'll also be dry hopping this, but want to see how much aroma I get with the last 2 aroma additions that were added when the wort was chilled to 150° and then whirlpooled for 30 min.

Notes: Varm opp til vannet har nådd 70 grader, ha oppi posen og deretter maltet(kornet). Pass på at den ikke klumper seg. Da vil temperaturen falle til ca. 66 grader. La stå i en time. Prøv å holde temperaturen jevn med å isolere med f.eks. ei dyne.
Når det har gått 60 minutter snørper du sammen posen og lar den renne av seg over kjelen. Sett gjerne ei rist i mellom.
Sett så varmen på fullt og vent til det starter å koke. Kan fort ta opp til 45 minutter før det starter å koke, kommer an på effekten. Ha oppi humle når det begynner å koke. Følg oppskriften.
Når det har kokt i 45 minutter har du oppi vørterekjøleren (15 før kokeslutt).
Når det har kokt i 60 minutter skrur du av varmen. Kjøl så ned vørteren og før det over til et godt vasket og desinfisert gjæringskar- husk å desinfisere slangen.
Ha oppi gjæra (bare strø den forsiktig over toppen) og risk karet godt i 5 minutter for å få inn oksygen. (Dette er viktig).
Lå stå i to uker, for så å flaske ølet med 6 gram sukker per liter øl. Blandes ut som en sukkerlake i omstikkingskaret. La flaskene stå romtemp i to uker for karbonering før de kjøles og serveres. Nyt! :-) |

Notes: My first attempt at a Fresh Hopped beer. It was a really fun brew day minus picking hops in 86% humidity. There isn’t an option for the type of yeast I’m using. I harvested and propagated yeast from two cans of The Veil Brewing Co.’s BrozNightOut. I’m assuming it’s a mix of an English yeast and American. The aroma from the starter is quite fruity and pleasant. - August 19, 2019
Fermentation started around 5 hours after pitching the yeast and high krausen was reached on day 2 of fermentation, 24 hours after pitching. Whatever yeast this is, it's a beast! - August 21, 2019 |

Mash at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes or until conversion is complete. Add the FWH hops during runoff, immediately after vorlauf, and allow them to steep in the hot wort as the mash is sparged.
Boil for 90 minutes. Whirlpool for 40 minutes (from start to rest) following the hops schedule.
Pitch the yeast and ferment at 67°F (19°C) for 2–3 days, then allow the temperature to rise slowly to 73°F (23°C) by the end of fermentation to ensure full attenuation. When fermentation reaches 1.5–2° Plato from terminal gravity (1.020–1.022), drop temp to 14C and add the first dry-hop addition. About 3 days later do a cone dump and add the second dry-hop addition for another 3 days. Cold crash to 1C and then do another cone dump.
Package at 2.6 volumes of CO2 and consume fresh. |

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!) |
