Notes: Keys from conversations with co-owner & brewer John Kimmich at Alchemist:
- Dry hop at 36 degrees F
- Avoid oxygen at all costs!!
- Do not think you have to go crazy with dry hops, John hops at 4-5lbs per barrel (2-2.6oz gallon)
- Do not dry hop for more than 48-60 hours!!
- John was sheepish about stating fermentation temperatures, follow guidelines and adjust as you repeat
Updated from Jan/Feb 2024 article. Notes from interview added above. Acid additions adjusted based on my water, change as needed. |

Notes: This is a beer of my creation based around the Woolworths lager extract tin.
1. The grains will be steeped in 5L of water at A tgt of 68°c.
2. They will be sparked with 1L of 80° water before boil(will only boil dependant on mash volume.)
3. The reason for such a large mash size for such small specialty grains is I will add the extra tin and other fermenter balls after the match is done. This will insure that all fermentable‘s are fully combined and dissolved in the water.
3.1. At this point, the wurl flock tablet will be added.
4. While fermenter walls are dissolving, I will steep, the 20 g of East Kent Goldings in approximately 250 mils of boiling water and these will be added to the water when the yeast is pitched.
5. Once all of the fermentable are dissolved in wort I will add top off of 17 L of 10° water. This will leave me with a pitch temperature of 21°C.
6. Once the desired temperature is reached, the east will be pitched along with the nutrient and the east Kent Golding, hop addition.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know how this is going to turn out, but I am pretty excited as this is my first time adding specialty grains. |

Notes: This was definitely a fun and challenging one to make. The goal was a sour ale that gave you the feel of drinking a milkshake and I think we accomplished just that. Final gravity did finish at 1.027 so it was a nice, thick mouthfeel. Couple of things to note...
The vanilla is listed at 10 beans. We used vanilla extract from Beanilla and on their website, they have a conversion table that states 1 tbsp of the extract is equivalent to 1 vanilla bean. We used 10 tbsp of the vanilla extract.
With the dry hop, the hop varieties were ok, but not 100% complimentary to the fruit. I think I'd pull out the lotus and stick with citra and huell melon in the future. The dry hop equated to about .8oz / gal and I think I'd also drop that to maybe .5oz / gal.
When it was done, we felt it was a good fruited sour but it was no milkshake sour. So to get that milkshake feel, we backsweetened in the keg with truvia. It took about 96g of truvia per 5 gallon keg to get the sweetness level that we wanted.
Upon initial taste, your palate is hit with the sweetness from the truvia. Mid sip before you swallow, you get hit with the fruit. On the backend and after you swallow, you get the vanilla and the tartness from the lactobacillus. |

Notes: Working from various on-line sources to clone something like a Bell's Two-Hearted Ale. Northernbrewer's "Three Hearted Ale" has a lot of fans so I'm using some of that.
2-14-24
Making a couple changes to create version 2.0.
A) Using Safale American Ale yeast and double pitching
B) Adding Extra 1.5 oz of Centennial (half bittering, half dry hopped)
C) Changing to Crystal 10L to lighten color |
