Notes: Brewed 1/21/2016. Strike water was 166 and I hit about 151 so I recirculated about 2.5gal. Collected 9.5 gal and the sparge didn't drop below 3 brix. In kettle efficiency was 87%, didn't take a pH reading. Hit 5.75 pretty much on the nose but had a little left over. Hit my efficiency on the nose too. Pitching temp settled at about 68F. 1/22 temp has been about 67F all day. 1/23 temp had climbed up to 69F and I chilled it down to about 65F. 1/24 morning it was sitting at about 67F. Due to me leaving I put an airlock and some fermcap in there. Dry hopped 2/10/2016. Kegged 2/14/2016.

Notes: IMPORTANT: Add honey at end of boil, flame out.

The whirlpool herbs (hop list) is a steep of no less than 10 mins or more added end of Boil.

I use a nylon mesh straining bag that I can add herbs to through out the process.

Ancient Notes:
This is a conversion of my Wee Heavy / Scotch Ale Braggot. Instead of Hops it's using more ancient traditional herbs. The Heather is considered for bittering while Meadowsweet is also commonly found in mead and ales.

You can add .10 Kent Golding Hops at 60 mins to get more modern bittering effect.

This is an experimental recipe! Built using tea tests. It may need tweaking to get the herbs flavors to show or maybe reduce them!

Optional: Remove Meadow Sweet for Heather only ale.
Optional: Dry hop with Heather after fermentation.
Optional: Skip Co2 phase because most likely ancient ales were flat :( I'll be carbonating.

Wort Notes:
After 45-60 min Mash I sparged the BIAB with a pour over 32oz warm water. This makes total boil slightly more than 2 gallons.

Optional: Start of boil pull 2 cups wort and separately boil down into syrup. Then add this back in to the boiling wort.

Do a Yeast starter using 6g of GoFerm and 5g Safale yeast early into brew so it has time to start.

Style Notes:
After lots of searching the feedback i got is a Scotch Ale or Wee Heavy is a good place to start for a Braggot. Recipe is Shooting for 50% honey so I can feel like it's a Braggot.

The Wee Heavy style suggests longer boil times to get more malty flavors. So I am starting with 2 gallons and a 90 minute boil, targeting 1 gallon. You may need to add more water as you go to keep in line. Use a dip stick to measure.

Notes: MASH SCHEDULE:

- Dough-in @ 95F with 98.4F water, hold for 45 min (phytic acid rest to help prep mash pH)
- Increase to 113F with boiling water, hold for 20 min (beta-glucan/protein rest)
- Increase to 152F with boiling water, hold for 55-60 min (main infusion/sacch rest)
- Collect 3.5 gallons in first runnings, sparge to collect 3 more

So, here we are. Making a bourbon-barrel fermented black gose... I don't think either of us is sure exactly what's going to happen, but that's part of the fun. Here's the breakdown:

We want to make a gose. This style of light-bodied, tart and funky spiced ale is pretty en-vogue right now. However, being us, we can't just do it the normal way. It's go hard or go home. So, we're going to brew a gose with 10.5% midnight wheat malt and alderwood smoked salt (y'know, cuz it's gonna be a black gose...), throw it in our bourbon barrel (which has previously aged Damnation Alley bourbon, our imperial stout and our English old ale), pitch a lactobacillus starter into it, wait a week then pitch Kölsch yeast, then probably wait a pretty long time to see what happens to it. We are doing this primarily to infect this barrel once and for all, and figure an insanely outlandish, reach-exceeding-our-grasp recipe will guarantee both that and potentially yield an interesting beer. If the beer doesn't come out palatable, then we'll at least learn something or another about sour beers and barrel-based primary fermentation. I'll keep this page updated with our trials and tribulations.

7/24/15: The experiment begins (and oh, does it begin). Making a starter consisting of steeped acidulated malt, flour and dextrose. Already pretty bizarre, but we're hoping to just grow a small lacto culture from our single vial of White Labs L. delbrueckii (WLP677).

7/24/15: - 11:50 PM: Just washed our barrel out with boiling water in preparation for filling it with wort and a lacto culture tomorrow night. Smells amazing still, but definitely a little buggy already. We had been considering this for a while, honestly. We've heard tell that a bourbon barrel will really only be able to age a beer to provide the usual woody, tannic and spirit-like characteristics for 2-3 uses before getting sour and bizarre... thus, we're pretty much prepping it for future sours right now.

7/25/15: Brew day. Everything's going fine, actually. We collected a lot but it's pretty weak, so we'll boil it down to get a more concentrated wort.

8/15/15: Just to update a bit... we went with the original plan on 7/25/15 after brewing to throw this directly into the barrel and add the previously-mentioned lacto starter we made. Additionally, however, we pitched ~65 mL of Omega Labs lactobacillus blend after throwing the other ~35 mL into a small batch of blueberry hefeweizen. Last week (a week after pitching the lacto blend and the Kölsch yeast, mind you), we tasted this monster and it's already pretty damn sour. However, it also hasn't really fermented much. Considering we only hit 1.042 for our OG (already a couple points off) and the Kölsch yeast seemingly barely did anything, likely due to the pH of the barrel's contents being too low (2.5-3.5) for fermentation to truly get underway, we may have our first "stuck" fermentation, cuz the sample we took, though awesome tasting, was about 1.020. Doesn't really matter cuz we can always throw some Brett in. I think it'll still come out awesome, but it needs time and TLC. We were asking for issues with this idea though, so it's fine.

8/29/15: It's been a couple weeks since tasting this and checking hydrometer readings. Last time we checked, this guy was actually, really fermenting, though pretty slow. Even though we believe the yeast we pitched has been all but completely halted by the low pH of the barrel's current contents, it seems lacto has been slowly chipping away at the complex dextrins and other sugars hanging out in there, as the hydrometer revealed us to actually have a then-current gravity of ~1.020. Checked again today with another 8 oz sample and we are progressing, this time with around 1.014. It's slow going, but at this point we actually have a very tasty, complex dark sour beer that presents a lot of challenging flavor components and which has a well-rounded body to boot. In terms of ABV, we are hovering somewhere around 4%, which is actually pretty solid. Changed the blowoff assembly to an airlock and sipping on the sample as I type. As I mentioned, it's very complex. In the nose I get notes of bourbon and sherry, cocoa, oak, vanilla and an intense tangy funk note, not unlike something like Boulevard's Love Child sours (which are also BBA darker sours, incidentally). The wine-like notes also linger on the tongue, though the finish is sharply sour, salty and surprisingly very dry considering there's still a decent amount of residual sugar. I think we'll probably bottle this one pretty soon, honestly. We're trying to strike a balance between taking 8 ounce samples to check gravity every few weeks and just cutting our (volume) losses and collecting what we can, bottling it and enjoying it. Besides, we're both itching to do something insane with Brett in the barrel, so that's even more reason to get this wonderful little science project out of there and into our beer fridge. Until next time.

9/18/15: We bottled this last week, using Lalvin champagne yeast to hopefully carbonate it nicely given the main yeast in the barrel probably gave up when it was added to such a low pH environment. It's somewhat carbonated in only a week which is good, but the most important thing is...

IT'S FUCKING AWESOME.

Holy shit, this is basically everything we wanted it to be, and pretty much all of the notes, nuances and flavors come together amazingly. It's smoky, salty, sour, malty, roasty, coffee-forward, tannic and bourbon-laced with an absolutely insane acid profile. Super good. Insanely pumped.

Notes: Copper Kettle Brewing won a gold medal at the 2011 GABF.

Cut up the chiles and steep the chile blend and cinnamon sticks in a nylon bag after knock out for at least 10 minutes.

Ferment at 68-70. When final gravity is reached, steep the 'dry spices' for 3-5 days.

Notes: 10.7 lbs of grain in the mash:

9 lb Pilsen
1 lb Munich Dark
0.5 lb Crystal 60L
0.2 lb Roasted Barley

Strike your mash with 4 gallons @ 161F and rest for 75 min. Target mash temp is 150F.

Vorlauf and collect first runnings.

Sparge with 5.1 gallons @ 177F.

Collect second runnings and prepare to boil.

Boil is 60 mins.

1 oz Hallertauer (4.7%aa) @ 90 min for 15 IBUs
3 oz Saaz (3.3%aa) 30 min for 22 IBUs

Cool to ~63F and pitch a vial of OYL-001- Alt yeast.

I did a starter.

This worked out to be 4.7%ABV and makes for a very tasty session beer, and it scored the recipe creator a gold metal and first in show. Cheers!

Notes: Fermented it on my back porch for the first ten days when it was around 50-60F. Then transferred it after about the 10th day to the secondary fermenter and into my unheated foyer, where it was around 45 for the past 4 weeks. Just bottled it yesterday with cane sugar primer and will store for three weeks at room temp before storing in my cellar for another month at 55. I tasted the beer at bottling and it has a nice crisp, slightly bitter, dry and malty. running about 6.2% ABV. Clear gold color. I really liked this Munich Lager yeast as it really performed in colder temps and attenuated nicely.
