10 minutes – Add 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient last

♦ Check to see if fermentation tank nozzle is pointed upwards

♦ KEGGING NOTES:
Purge oxygen with CO2
Chill keg 24 hours before force carbonation.
Force Carbonation Calculator: 20 psi 4 days

♦ The Decoction Method
All decoction mashes start with a single infusion step where hot water is added to the mash to start the mashing process. Typical temperatures for the first step vary. Multiple step decoctions are often used. Some examples of steps include:

Notes: 1. Sanitation : It is important to thoroughly clean and sanitize all of your brewing equipment.
2. Making the Wort : Begin by heating 2.5 gallons of water in your Brew Pot. While the water is heating, place your
"Specialty Grains", which should be crushed, into a "Grain Bag". Tie a knot at one end of the "Grain
Bag" leaving room for the grains to be loose in the bag. When the water reaches a temperature of
150° to 160°F (max temp.), place the "Grain Bag" into your Brew Pot. Steep your grains at this temperature
for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the "Grain Bag" from the pot. Do not squeeze the bag,
just let the liquid drain from the bag into the pot. The water is now "Wort" at this point.
3. Boiling the Wort : Bring the "Wort" to a boil. It should be a rolling boil, be careful to avoid a "Boil Over". Remove the
"Wort" from the heat. Add all of the included "Fermentables" to the "Wort". Stir the "Fermentables"
into the "Wort" until it has all dissolved, making sure none of it is sitting on the bottom of the pot.
Return the Brew Pot to heat and return the "Wort" to a boil. .
4. Boil Hops : If using "Hop Bags", put the Boil Hops into a "Hop Bag" and tie loosely at one end. Add these to the
boiling "Wort". You have now added the Bittering Hops. Continue to Boil this for 60 minutes.
5. Boil Termination : After 60 minutes, remove heat source from the Brew Pot. Now it is time to cool the "Wort" to 70°F.
This can be accomplished by using a "Wort Chiller".
6. Add Water : Siphon your cooled "Wort" from the brew pot into your fermenter. Be careful not to transfer heavy
sediment from the brew pot into the fermenter. Add enough water to bring the Wort to 5 gallons.
Stir the 5 gallons of "Wort". At this time, take a Hydrometer reading to record the Original Gravity.
7. Begin Fermentation: Add the yeast to the "Wort" surface. Firmly secure your fermenter lid and add the airlock. The ideal
temperature for fermentation is 64°- 72°F. The "Wort" will begin to ferment within 24 hours.
When fermentation is complete, take another hydrometer to record the Final Gravity.
8. Secondary Clean and sanitize a secondary fermenter. Rack your beer into the fermenter and leave for one
Fermentation : week. If using single stage fermentation, leave beer in the primary fermenter for another week.

JDFlow from HBT:
I've brewed two Witbiers with grapefruit. Add the fruit in secondary. Use two large grapefruits for 5 gallons, 3 if you want the flavor to be in the forefront. Zest both grapefruits, you want as little pith (the white membrane under the zest) as possible. Pith is very bitter and it will come through badly in your beer. Put the zest in a pan and juice both grapefruits on top of it. Then boil the zest in the juice until you have a syrup. Put the syrup and zest in the bottom of your secondary. Rack your beer onto it and leave it for at least one week. Amazing results.

Notes: After boil, and after cooling to approx 40 C, lower pH to approx 4.5 by adding lactic acid (I have 80%. I think 88% might be more common) I will add a tsp, measure pH, rince repeat until I have correct pH.

Do not oxygenate before adding lactic acid bacteria.

Add lactic acid bacteria, top off with some carbonated water. cover as best as possible. keep away from oxygen.

Keep at approx 40 ceclius.(should be done by 1-3 days)

Let LAB do it's work. Measure pH approx each 12 hours.

When correct pH is reached (approx 3.5 for me), add 10 gram nelson as lacto stop, and add a decanted 0.75 liter Brett starter(1 vial WLP654 brettanomyces claussenii grown for 7 days and settled for 3 days for flocculation, 10 days all in all)

Do NOT oxygenate wort when adding hops and Brett yeast. Oxygenating the wort at this time might increase the probability of wet horse blanket/leathery aromas. We want more fruit here, so no oxygenation.

When correct FG is reached(approx 14 days) add 90 gram nelson and let it stay for 4-5 days.

Bottle with 7g/l sugar.

Brett will do it's magic over time. So expect that this is a product that will change over at least 6 months time in bottle/keg.

Notes: Aroma reminiscent of Unibru's Trois Pistoles. High alcohol content comes through with smooth and sweet aftertaste notes notes on the tongue (and lips). Pours murky, muddy brown with a good tan head.

HOP NOTES: Recipe calls for 42g of Styrian Goldings, Fuggles, or Willamette hops (boiling) to achieve 7.5HBU (210MBU).

>Boil the malt extract and boiling hops for 60mins
>Add Irish moss for final 10mins
>Aarate wort very well
>Pitch yeast at 21C
>Ferment at 21C for about 1 week or when fermentation shows signs of calming and stopping
>Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when fermentation is complete
>Although this brew will be ready for your enjoyable indulgence 2-4 weeks after bottling, it ages well at cellar temperatures.
