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: 2 yeast packs in a 1.25L 24 hr starter for EACH fermenter.

Accolades:
*2nd out of 30 American Lagers in the 2016 Indiana Brewers Cup (Score 42)
*1st in the 2017 NHC First Round (Score 42 from 1 Master)
*Silver in the 2017 NHC Final Round (Score 44 from 2 Masters)

The key to making this great is getting the FG to 1.008. The NHC Final batch finished at 1.008 and was noticeably better with more "pop" than my 1st Round batch (FG 1.010). A 60 minute+ rest at 146 or so is key, in my opinion.

Hybrid of Coors Banquet & Budweiser. Both beers use approx 70:30 barley:adjunct

Coors: 70% 2-Row and 30% Corn
Bud: 70% 6-Row and 30% Rice

This beer uses approx 90:10 6-Row:Corn. Decreasing the adjunct keeps the beer w/i style guidelines but it still actually tastes like beer. Most of my macro-hating beer snob friends like this beer, FWIW.

The batch brewed for NHC 1st Round in early Jan-17 was a 6 gallon batch and used WLP 840. This batch split between WLP840 and WLP850. Submitted bottles of WLP 840 to NHC Finals. 850 made a Heineken-like lager... a perfectly decent beer but the 840-half was more to-style. WY2007 also works well for this beer, and WY2035 is great but only has seasonal availability.

Notes: Steep 2 vanilla beans in bourbon when you start your brew. Add to the secondary fermenter and allow at least two weeks for flavor development.

Notes: 3.3 lbs honey
1.5 oz. dried hibiscus petals
1 oz. juniper berries
water to 1 gallon
Bread yeast (boiled to make yeast nutrient)
Lalvin EC-1118 (Wine yeast, for fermenting)

Bring 3/4 gallons of water to a boil. Crack the juniper berries, then add them to the water. Add the hibiscus petals. Let steep for 30 minutes. Ladle off a bit into a small glass, and add some honey. Use that to rehydrate the EC-1118.
Ladle off another portion into a small pot. Rehydrate the bread yeast, then bring to a strong boil. Add the honey to the jar. Grab an extra pitcher, and strain the juniper-hibiscus mix into it. Add the mix to the jar.

By now everything should be cool. Add the boiled bread yeast to the jar. Add the hopefully now foamy EC-1118 to the jar. Measure the gravity, and adjust with honey or water to 1.120.

Notes: This is a quick kettle sour. It's ideal for anyone who doesn't want to risk "contaminating" their brewing equipment with bacteria.

Make up a lacto starter (*); I use Water Kiefer as the source.
Mash as normal and bring to the boil, then flameout immediately and allow to cool down 38 C. Pitch lacto starter and purge kettle headspace with CO2. Maintain temp. Sample every 12 hrs or so to monitor lacto progress. Once it's sour enough, bring the kettle back up to the boil and continue your brewing process as normal.

* Lactobacillus Starter Method
Combine the following ingredients to a liter of filtered water and boil for 15 minutes:
90 grams Dry Malt Extract
20 grams Dextrose (Glucose)
10 grams Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3 / chalk)
1 gram Yeast Nutrient or DAP (diammonium phosphate)

- Cool this starter solution down to around 38 C and add 100 ml of filtered water kefir.
- Seal the flask with a rubber stopper and airlock to prevent additional oxygen from entering the starter solution.
- Let it stand (covered) until pH reaches about 3.4 (5 days in my case), it will vary a lot depending on room temp.
- If you have a means of providing a temperature controlled environment, optimal growth is typically between 30 and 40 C.
