Mash pH Measured: 5.30
Pre-Sparge Gravity: 1.059
Post-Sparge Gravity: 1.051
Post-Boil Gravity: 1.057

Decoction:

1st Decoction: 6 quarts
2nd Decoction: 3 quarts
3rd Decoction: 3 quarts

After sparging we had only 6 gallons in the kettle, and decided to add 0.5 gallons so we could still boil 6.5.

Pitched 3/4 pack of WLP300 @ 72F into temperature controlled catalyst fermenter set to 72F - started bubbling in approximately 2 hours. 5.5 gallons made it into the fermenter. Extremely vigorous fermentation after 24 hours with high amount of CO2 blowoff. Vigorous fermentation lasted for approximately 48 hours, and continued to ferment with a medium amount of blowoff for the next two days.

Multiple E3 errors encountered during mash. Fixed by letting sit for 5 minutes, resetting bottom switch, and doing only 80% power. Wort started a milk color and was a transparent straw color by the time we boiled. Recirculation was used for the full duration of all temperature rests past the first 5 minutes.

No Cold Crash

WLP300 YEAST (Under pitch 3/4 pack @ 70F - Fermentation @ 72F)

Softish water profile for pale/malty

Triple Decoction using quart ladle

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Plans for next brew day:

Use both floor-malted wheat and pils - these have higher proteins

Only do two decoctions instead of three to maximize flavor but minimize protein consumption by milliard reaction

Attempt to get as much body as possible by blowing through protein rest temperature quickly with a rapid heat combined with decoction addition

Directions:
Mash the malts with the mash hops at 154°F (68°C) for 30 minutes. Raise to 170°F (77°C) and hold for 15 minutes. Sparge at 170°F (77°C) for 45 minutes. Collect 6.5 gallons (24.5 L) of wort.

Heat to boiling and boil the wort 60 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Adjust original gravity post-boil with reverse osmosis water as required.

Chill the wort to approximately 68˚F (20˚C). Pitch yeast, and ferment between 60 ˚F and 68˚F (15.5–20˚C) until complete. Prime and bottle condition, or serve from keg if naturally conditioned during aging.

Notes: Initial ferment with Old World Saison Yeast, allow to reach > 7 plato, bitch Brett D. Dry Hop, 3-4g per litre? Allow to Condition cold for long period, tasting for the right mix of funk/hoppy fresh.

Potentially blend down with fresh IPA? Or fresh Dry Hopped Sour?? Both??

Notes: This is an attempt to make a Winter Warmer style beer that has a kick but will be made in a small batch < 120Lt ~ 30 x 330ml bottles approx. The Apples, Raisins, Orange Peel, Ginger, Cloves and Cinnamon were all put in a draw string grain bag and added to the Mash wort and kept in a sealed FV bucket for 30 hours - Friday Evening to Sunday Morning - to steep the fruit. The Wort is set to boil and the steeping bag was kept in for 30 minutes to extract the flavours. The rest of the boil went as normal.

Notes: had this shmaltz st lenny's belgian double rye ipa a couple years ago and it was awesome. only saw it in the store a couple times. never really could find a good clone until now. i dont think shmaltz even makes this anymore.

recipe was originally posted on their site (no longer there) and then scaled down by a homebrewer and posted on hbt. pasted below.

this recipe i put in almost exactly. theres no fawcet crystal ii so i used crystal 60. the recipe also says crystal 60/80 so i put in 80 but in practice i would probably combine the two and just just the 60.

also i took liberty in estimating efficiency at 77 which put the beer at 10%.

mods i would need :
* scale up for my system efficiency
* substitute extract for at least part of it. think i would still need to mash though at least for the rye and wheat. might need to use some base malt in the mash too to have enough diastatic power
* hops are a little crazy. could probably simplify and just use one or two or three hop varieties
* would need a decent sized starter

http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=49178

I tried to convert this to a regular 5gal batch using the recipe from the site, and this is what I came up with.

14lbs 08oz 2row
03lbs 00oz Rye Malt
01lbs 00oz Flaked Rye
00lbs 08oz Amber Malt
00lbs 08oz Wheat Malt
00lbs 05oz Fawcett Crystal II
00lbs 05oz Crystal 60/80
00lbs 02oz Caramel Rye

1.13oz Warrior 60min
0.5 oz Cascade 20min
0.5 oz Simcoe 20min
0.5 oz Warrior 20min
0.5 oz Cascade 10min
0.5 oz Chinook 10min
0.5 oz Crystal 10min
0.5 oz Amarillo 1min
0.5 oz Cascade 1min
0.5 oz Centennial 1min
0.5 oz Simcoe 1min
1.0 oz Centennial Aroma
1.0 oz Amarillo (dry hop)
0.5 oz Crystal (dry hop)

California Ale yeast (I am only guessing on this one)

Est OG- 1.095
Est FG- 1.015
IBU- 86.3
SRM- 10
ABV- 10%

There may be slight inaccuracies due to rounding from the breweries batch size.

Notes: itch yeast at 64F and slowly rise to 82F over course of 1 week
Plate Stirrer on loan from Chris Wessel
Add sugar near end of the boil - perhaps at 10 minutes.

Mashed for 90 min at 149.
added 4.5 gal water @ 168. Mashing for 20 min to allow bed to settle.

Brewed 5/30/15

OG: 1.083 <-- not sure if temperature corrected (could actually be 1.086)

5/31/15 8:17 | Chest Freezer temperature is 62F. Turned up.
6/3/15 16:00 | Freezer temp was 77. Removed from freezer and placed in garage.
6/3/15 17:40 | SG 1.011 Still has some krausen. Bubbles at 1 minute.
6/7/15 10:15 | SG 1.10. Lot of floating material . Kind of watery but still drinkable. Transferred to secondary because I found a crack in the glass carboy which I was going to use for the next brew. So instead I put the carboy in tub and racked this ale into it, and dumped bunch of trub. Having a weiss beer in prod in the ale pale will reduce my desire to keep fucking around with this golden ale.
6/11/15 08:20 | SG 1.003 + .001 Temp correction (per brewers friend) = 1.004 (ABV: 10.11% to 10.5%)
6/12/15 8:30 | Added remaining 0.25 ounces of Hallertau. Removed space heater.
6/13/15 3:00 | Sampled: SG 1.0025 Temp Corrected (per brewers friend) (ABV 10.6%)
6/13/15 ?? | Placed into chest freezer for cold crash
6/14/15 | Bottled 3 - 3.5 gallons into 20 flips tops and a handful of thinner bottles at 4 volumes. SG with priming sugar 1.10

6/15/15 9:00 | still in chest freezer at 40F
6/15/15 09:00 | moved into house to make room for hefewesien in freezer.

6/17/15 10:15 | The couple gallons remaining in carboy is still bubbling a bit but that could be formerly dissolved CO2 from cold crashing. Nonetheless, is good sign that O2 has probably been pushed out.

6/18/15 | bottled remaining beer into 6 thick bottles at 4 volumes. FG: 1.004

10/25/15 | Pleasant slighty fruity. warming
