Notes: Inspired by the Fantôme Spéciale De Noel, Saison d’Hiver is a big chocolate galoot of a beer. Additions of cinnamon and vanilla bring to mind rich cakes and cocoa.

Mash in at 149° F (65° C) (1.25 quarts/lb strike water) and hold 60 minutes. Boil 90 minutes adding hops as indicated in recipe. Add turbinado and candi sugar for last 5 minutes of the boil. Add vanilla bean and cinnamon stick to the secondary and age one month.

Notes: St. Louis water (think Budweiser) from 1993 (profile):
Chloride (ppm)
Calcium (ppm) 21.0
Magnesium (ppm) 10.7
Sodium (ppm) 19.6
Sulfate (ppm) 66.9
Chloride (ppm) 20.6
Bicarbonate (ppm) 21

Note, did a boil in the bag mash, so the sparge was a batch soak in warm water for about 10 min. Let the contents in the bag drain thoroughly.

Using Hawkesbury city water supply, added 0.3gr potassium metabisulfite to 10 gal to reduce chlorine and chloramine.

After day 8, moved the beer into the secondary fermentation unit. And performed a diacetyl rest at 68 deg. F., for 5-days. Day 10 I added 10ml of Clarity Ferm, and day 14, moved the beer into the cold conditioning phase, dropping the temperature slowly to 34 deg. F.

Notes: ===================================
2/25/2021
brew day
1.065 OG without lactose and beet juice
1.074 OG with lactose and beet juice
this calculator i dont think includes lactose in the OG calculation...? but the beets it appears it does.
adjusting my efficiency from 70 to 63 to match calculated vs measured OG without the adjunct sugars. not making adjustments to the beet juice input, appears it matches the measured.
===================================
2/24/2021
brew day tomorrow
reducing the beet weight from 6lbs to 3lb. it was kinda a lot of beets, i juiced them yesterday, it amounted to about 3 cups juice. gonna just add that to last 5 minutes of the boil (to sanitize), maybe along with the lactose. would be nice to take a gravity reading before adding this stuff to get a data point on my grain efficiency.

reducing cocoa nibs from 5 to 4 bc the bag came with 4 unless i can find another oz in my stash somewhere.
===================================
initial recipe formulation notes
getting some of my amounts (beets -> PPG and Lovibond, amount, etc) from https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/208903/beet-stout

unsure how much beet to use. clawhammer used 1lb. this BF recipe used 12lb, juiced. im putting 6lb because that is my lucky milkshake number but will have to call it on the fly. i think i will juice them - take a gravity reading on cooled wort, then mix in the beet juice, and take gravity reading again to check the difference. this way we might get some data on how much sugar is in that lovely juice.

(this method chosen over mash or BK because "If you plan to mash or boil beets you most likely will lose that amazing color! The pigment betanin is temperature sensitive and will drop out in a semi-reversable reaction; meaning you may see some pigment recovery after the wort cools, but not much." https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/96hpla/fact_beers_eat_beets/)

CHOOSING CRYSTAL not sure what to do for hops. is all we want is bittering? are there any faint flavors from hops that will add to this beer? maybe steal something from stouts, but stouts have all that roast so the play is different. maybe whatever might be in a fruited blonde ale. not sure comparing to sours or saisons either is a good idea.
* clawhammer uses nelson sauvin - i think too funky and fruity
* some of my previous stouts i use northern brewer - described as slightly minty which i never got but may be more evident in this kind of beer
* hallertau blanc, hersbrucker
* cluster is mild, blackcurrant aroma. used in NB chocolate milk stout
* liberty - mild spice and floral. basically any noble hop might do the job here
* crystal - strongest of these noble style hops, cinnamon nutmeg black pepper
* mt hood - also noble. slight honey like, mild herbal floral , lemoney

for hop schedule. im choosing warrior to do some bittering work and crystal for some noble flavor balance. this compared to purple drank blueberry blonde is the exact same OG and FG on paper and that one was 27IBU and came out way too sweet (and thin...i suspect it mightve been lower FG than that and i just didnt measure it and adjust the recipe). So for this I'm pumping up into the 50s.

using 5 oz. saw a "chocolate blonde" on BF that used this much. some websites say start with 3 or 4oz as a starting point.

Notes: After you rack the first time (better do it when you see the alchool level stabilizing), use a pump and a lauter tun or bazooka to recirculate the wort with the oak chips. My wood chips was previously used for a sacrificial beer, as they was too rich in tannins. You can keep the beer and use it as an adjunct to give a wood flavour to other beers.
