Notes: FATHEADS SON OF BREWZILLA 2017 (Bronze - Altbiers & Weissbiers):
35.5/50
AROMA (9/12): Chocolate, plum, and vanilla notes. Some light banana notes. Very complex and inviting. No hops, diacetyl, DMS or acetaldehyde; Moderate plum, raisin, and fig aromas from the malt combined with low banana & clove yeast aroma to create a complex & inviting aroma. Hop aroma is absent. No off aromas noted.
APPEARANCE (2.5/3): Dark brown with medium tan head. Creamy with great retention, moderate haze; This beer pours a deep copper, nearly mahogany with a huge mousse light tan head which lasts forever. Very hazy which is ok for the style
FLAVOR (13.5/20): Nice (maybe too high?) chocolatey up front. Moderate wheat bread. Low but balanced banana/clove. More vanilla than clove. Quite complex. Nice dry clean finish; Banana & clove are moderate, a bit more prominent than in the aroma. Dark fruit & deep tastiness from malts are medium-high, but carry a solvent alcohol note with them. Hop flavor is absent and bitterness is low, yielding a sweet impression in the finish which is slightly dry. Balance is firmly malty
MOUTHFEEL (3.5/5): Heavy body with foamy carbonation. Moderate warming. Noticeable but low alcohol bite. Finishes dry; Body is medium with high carbonation. Creaminess is very slight - could be more. Warmth is low despite obvious alcohol content. No astringency
OVERALL IMPRESSION (7/10): Excellent dark version of style. A bit heavy on chocolate. Stronger yeast flavors would increase the score (banana & clove). Alcohol could be a little better hidden. Try fermenting a little lower. Overall very complex and enjoyable; Very nice beer. Rich & malty with an ester profile that gives it a wonderful complexity. There's a definite solventy note with flavor though, which is obviously from yeast stress. Use a starter, oxygenate, and pitch at least 0.75 million cells/*P/ml wort for a beer this big
MY THOUGHTS: Pitch 1 mil/*P/ml wort at 62*, don't seal lid. Let rise to 68 after a day, and let finish at 72* after 3 days. Eliminate brown malt and increase Chocolate wheat to .75 lb |

Notes: 1. Finely (and I really do mean finely) dice your ginger and put into a steeping bag.
2. Cut your 6 lemons and 3 limes into quarters, squeezing each one into the water. Once squeezed, throw the slices in the water.
3. Add your 3 cinnamon sticks and 3 cloves.
4. Boil for 60 minutes.
5. Once 60 minutes has been reached, remove all of your steeping items and add your sugar. Boil an additional 10 minutes to sterilize the sugar.
Note: I found that by leaving the steeping items in the water, they tend to absorb the sugar, thereby affecting your gravity.
6. Dilute the wort with your other 2 gallons of water to chill it quicker. Aerate, then pitch your yeast.
7. Take continuous gravity readings, and stop around 1.011 or 1.010. The higher the gravity, the sweeter and more syrupy it will be. 1.011 is a good cross between sweet with just enough dryness.
8. Once FG is acheived, bottle using a plastic bottle to tell where your carbonation is at. Once carbonation has been acheived, pasteurize and you're done.
Other notes: Ginger and citrus slows the fermentation process, this can take up to a month or more, have patience and you'll get there.
I opted to use a champaigne yeast, as EC-1118 has almost no flavor profile, and has a huge ideal temperature range. This makes it easier to make this year-round. |

Notes: Traditional witbier spiced with piper longum (long pepper), coriander seeds and orange peels.
Long pepper is very potent. For a less long peppery and perfumy taste, cut the pepper down to 2.5g/10L. |
