Notes: Original recipe was based on Ed Wort's Haus Pale. I bumped up the hops in my last batch (See Dustin's Folly IPA). I liked the hop bump, but the beer was too cloyingly sweet, I suspect from the crystal. I like a dry finish in my IPA so I think this recipe could benefit from a small addition of cane sugar, an extra 1/2 lb of two row, and an extra 1/4 lb of vienna to help balance the extra abv.

Recipe uses a bunch of 2 year old Citra and Chinook hops I had sitting in my freezer. Citra used to be 13.7% AA. Chinook used to be 11.5% AA. (aa calculator - http://brewerslog.appspot.com/HopAlphaCalc)

Aerate to approx 12ppm prior to pitching yeast by turning on pure oxygen with a .5 micron airstone for 60 seconds.

Chill and fine with 1/2 tsp gelatine to drop haze. (Procedure here - http://brulosophy.com/2015/01/05/the-gelatin-effect-exbeeriment-results/)

Should be grain to glass in 1 month. Drink fresh.

Tasting Note. Turned out great, Very floral. Floral drops off quick as is expected for an IPA. I will brew this again.

9.20% estimate alcool

It's very heavy on the hopping side, like Messorem and Bas-canada.
If you like photosynthisis hopping taste this is for you.

I could of added more lactose for more roundness.

Very happy overall, very drinkable considering the hopping and alcool.

The color is insanely thick and deep

Notes: Just as the maypole is used to celebrate the coming of the warm season, this recipe also honors the ending of winter and the short, dark days. Maypole Maibock is brewed in the tradition of the famously malty and flavorful beers historically brewed in winter and then consumed in May coinciding with the return of spring and summer. Packed with delicious fresh, clean pilsner malt flavor and layered with a smattering of Munich malt, this lager is then just bittered enough to balance the malt sweetness and fermented with a clean, crisp, and relatively attenuative classic German lager strain. The result is a deep golden beer with a dense and lasting white foam head, and a complex flavor profile with moderately high alcohol content.

Notes: heated up filtered water - 3/4 qt for 3/4 lb grain. mashed for 60min, heating to 165 and trying to maintain 150. Check every 10-15 min with no heat and lid on. Had to add a little water here and there and add heat on occasion. Pre-heated 2.5 gal of water to 170 to use for sparging. Sparged to a separate pot with about 1 gal of water at 170. Poured wort in with 1.5 gal of 170 water and poured 1 gal of mixture over grains again. Composted grains and brought to a boil. Added 1.65oz Mosaic. After 15min, added 2oz Citra. After 15min, added 1oz Centennial. After 15 min, added 1 oz Amarillo. AFter 5 minutes, added 1 tsp Irish Moss. After 8 min, added 1 oz willamette. Off boil after 2 more min. Added 3 1/2 gal of near frozen bottled spring water. Wort chilled for about 20 minutes. Hot night so difficult to get down to temp. Pitched yeast at around 74 after added a small 4in ice bath and stirring crazily. Tested OG at 1.070. Could be the bottom of the fermentor was more full of crap, or that I got more from the grains....not sure. Could be more potent and hopefully the yeast can do their job.

Bubbles starting within 12 hours but were slow and deliberate. Little to no activity at 3 days. 4th day I tested the FG but got a ton of sludge. Read around 1.020. Added 4oz of Amarillo (dry hop). Taste was very bitter but considering that the sample was sludge, I wasn't surprised. I may pray a little more on this one. Leaving for Cali in a few days so will transfer it in another week and 3 days. Then we hope to get some sludge out.
Transferred after 9 days to the secondary. Loads of sludge. Loads. Didn't measure or taste.
IN the secondary for 1 week. Bottling was 39 bottles, 11 of which were 22oz. Due to the dry hop, there were just a few pices floating from the hops that clogged up my bottle filler and had to clear and re-sanitize 3 times during the process. Took 1 1/2 hours after I had racked my bottles to dry.

taste was good, bitter in the center of the mouth, no tongue, heat was more for this ABV (which made me think twice about my measurements).Not as much aroma as ithought for the dry hopping. Probably more to do with the 1oz at 2min. Next time more finishing AND dry hop.

I used 5.5oz of Corn Sugar which may be high. I think this will be a really good batch.
