Notes: The source for the grain and hop bill comes from Dan's Belgian Quad as noted above. However, there are several deviations both from the standard Belgian styles and the baseline recipe, including the use of cane sugar over dextrose and darker candi sugar as adjuncts. The biggest modifications, however, come from the use of Lutra yeast and the warming spices. Lutra was used for rapid take-off to reduce infection risk from primary spices.
Grains were mashed at 150 for 2.25 hours, dropping to 142 over that period by cold water additions and removal of mash tun lids.
Adjuncts (brown sugar, cane sugar, candi syrup) were added at the start of boil after protein break. Hop additions are noted in recipe, immersion chiller added at 15 minutes, boil spice additions added at 5 minutes. Immersion chilled to just under 100 degrees.
Yeast was pitched at 96 degrees F and fermented in a controlled temperature room at 85 degrees for six days, then reduced to 72 degrees F for 2 days. Actual OG was 1.094, and actual FG was 1.008. 11.3%ABV.
The beer was fermented in two separate 8 gallon Anvil stainless steel fermenters, each receiving one packet of Lutra pitched dry. A cheesecloth sachet was fashioned to contain half each of the primary spices noted in the recipe. Total time in primary was 8 days, FG holding firm at 1.008 for two days prior to packaging.
5 gallons were kegged (2x2.5 gallons) and force carbonated, 5 gallons are barrel-aging in a medium toast/medium char American white oak Bad Motivator whiskey barrel. After a few weeks, the barrel-aged beer will be bottle conditioned with Lallemand CBC-1.
The kegged beer is absolutely incredible. Wildly complex and the flavors evolve over the course of several sips. Excited to try the barrel-aged in a month or two.

Notes: Mash at 158 for 30 minutes. Recirculate mash for 10 minutes then sparge.
Boil for 90 mins, with first hops in at 60. Cool to 67 then aerate for 2 minutes. Let fermentation temp rise to 72 after 5 days.
Cold crash and carbonate to 2.2.
Can add 2-3 oz of Fuggles at Day 5 and leave in for 2-4 days.
Gold Medal in 2022 NHA for Pale British Beer, 9B.
First brewed 9/18/22. Pre boils gravity was 1048 and post boil 1055! So 80% efficiency. Boiled 90 mins and had 5.1 gallons remaining so added .4 gallons distilled water to get to 5.5 gallons.
Used hop spider which retained some liquid with 6.5 oz of hops! That brought gravity down to 1050.
After 24 hours gravity was 1028 with temp at a constant 67f.
Second brew 3/31/24.
Followed schedule, inc. 1 tsp of gypsum and 1 tbsp of 10% phosphoric acid. Measured pH during boil and it was 4.8 pre sparge, and 4.88 post sparge. Added 1/2 tsp chalk just before boil to try and increase it.
Gravity at the start of boil was 1044. Boiled for close to 2 hours by mistake. As a result, had to add 3 pints of distilled water to bring the quantity close to 5.5 gallons.
Chilled to 67 then moved to fermenter. Gravity was 1054, so higher than planned (79% efficiency vs. 73% before). Added yeast and just used an airlock - no temp control.
Temp rose to 71 after 24 hours and gravity fell quickly to 1034. After 64 hours it was 1024. Gravity then stopped at 1023 and remained there for 3 days. I shook the fermenter to stir the yeast but no change. I then added a pack of rehydrated US05 to try and lower gravity but no difference.
Put into cask after 13 days of primary. FG was 1023, so poor attenuation but likely due to high mash temp. Amazing clarity as it transferred and taste was distinctive - toffee, gentle rolling bitterness, toast, and soft spices. Very drinkable from the fermenter!

The yeast is not actually Danstar but Neale's Brewing Supplies American West Coast Ale. It just wasn't on the list. 15g dry yeast rehydrated. Very little action for two days but on the third night it took off like a rocket.
