Notes: Pitched two packets of S-04.

Brewed this at an in-person brew-compeititon at Broken Cauldron taproom. This won first place.

It's a very solid extra stout. It is probably closer in style to a Tropical stout, with its lower bitterness.

Notes: This turned out fantastic, color darkened for me to a light amber because I boil for 90 minutes but came out with nice a sweet on the tongue and mild malt after, lite and refreshing for a nice October fall day

note: this will need to age at least 2 months to drop all the solids and loose hops down to the bottom and leave a good clean beer

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.

morebeer grains -> low efficiency :(

Served at Brooklyn spring coronation, went pretty fast, was well liked by people who were generally not that into beer. Was super clear considering >50% wheat/oat malt and a decent dry hop.

Notes: Dry hopped with Australian Topaz hops for pear/lychee fruit nose and flavor. Munich Malt for flavor. I make my IPA's on the low end of the ABV scale at 6% because I drink the hell out of them and dont want to be permamanently shitfaced. o.O You could add 2 lbs more malt to push this over 7%. 1/2 whirlfloc. 2 tsp gypsum. Double batch sparge. 17 quarts at 164 water = 153 mash temp. Sparge 3.6 gal total, at 175, split 1.8 gal twice.

Notes: This yeast was isolated from a beer crafted by a well-known producer of Belgian-style ales in the Northeastern United States. This yeast produces a mildly spicy and earthy flavour and aroma which is complemented by a subtle but magnificent array of fruity esters, including pear and light citrus fruit.
The brewery from which this strain was isolated uses it in a very versatile manner across an array of Belgian styles. We prefer using this yeast for any and all light Belgian beers, including Wit, Belgian Pale and Belgian Blond, in addition to any experimental fruit beers in which a more unique and robust flavour and aroma profile is desired. Expect this yeast to produce a large, thick krausen.
Temperature: 68-73°F
Attenuation: 77-81%
Flocculation: Medium-Low
1L with 100g DME shaken starter should be made 24 hours in advance to guarantee viability.

Pilgrim Hops is a dual use variety with a relatively high alpha acid content at 9.0%-13.0%. This variety comes with a high co-humulone content ranging from 36%-38% which some brewers attribute to a more harsh bitterness profile. The oils are relatively balanced in Pilgrim, and is compared to both Target and Challenger. The increase in aroma from Pilgrim compared to Target is associated with its selinene oil levels at 8.6%, which is sought after for its use in the perfume industry. This along with the other oil make up provides an herbal hoppy essence about it.
Pilgrim hops is versatile and is used from beginning of the boil to finishing. It excels at its yield and the medium to large oval cones are harvested mid to late season. Pilgrim has tolerance and resistance to mildew and wilt, which places it on the sustainability map. It is most widely used in Europe, but that is likely to its failry new introduction to the brewing society of the world.

Alpha 13%-17%. Citra is a new breed of American high alpha-acid hop. Produces fruity, citrus aroma and flavour, with a heavy aroma of tropical fruits (guava, mango, tropical fruit). Typically used in highly hopped American Ales; Pale Ales, IPA's, DIPA's and Barleywines. Most often used as a late addition aroma/flavour hop, but can make for an excellent bittering hop aswell.
