Notes: Special Instructions / Notes:
Yeast is a slug of yeast from the English pitch of the Falcons Gyre IPA. Yeah, yeah, it's hoppy yeast. Well, so? I need yeast. I under bittered the beer a little to deal with any contributions from the yeast cake. If there's none, that's fine too. The calcium chloride addition should help increase the sense of the malt and reduce the roast bite.

Update - 4/28 - Beer has been crashed cooled for 24 hours. FG is 1.011, abv is 3.0%. Ideally it would be a little lower, but the beer itself is malty, nutty, relatively clear and clean. Awesome. Tomorrow, I'll check to see if the beer would benefit from another keg to keg racking before carbonation. See you at the SCHF!

Update - 5/3 - Let the beer sit for 24 hours at near freezing temps. Racked to a second keg and force carbed. The beer definitely dropped clearer with the overnight freeze. (A nice layer of brown gunk rested at the bottom of the first keg) Served about 3 gallons of the mild at the SCHF via hand pump. Not too shabby, since it didn't seem like a lot of session beers were getting hit.

Notes: 2.5 litre starter, 260g DME

Update from "Cobbler Summer Ale - Cool Change":
- Switch from WLP320 American Hef to WLP090 San Diego Super to remove esters and add crispness
- Reduced whirlpool hopping utilisation from 5% (previous thumb-suck) to 1% for IBU calculations (rough alignment with Lyrebird_Cycles IBU spreadsheet), since previous version was well under-bittered
- Increase 10 minute hop addition to replace lost IBUs from the whirlpool, add 60 minute bittering addition
- Lowered mash temp from 67 to 65 deg to improve attenuation and increase dryness / crispness
- Single hop Mandarina Bavaria
- Add rice hulls to improve recirculation rate

Notes: Thursday 11th June 2015 - 200g DME + 2L water + 1.5mL 88% lactic acid (did not measure pH but intention was to lower to about 4.5). CO2 bubbled through to purge oxygen and 5 dl whole pilsner malt added at 45oC as lacto source. Oxygen purged again and added to insulated mash tun with 49oC water.

Friday 12th June - 8am = 37oC. Added fresh boiled water to raise water temp to 45oC. 4pm = 34oC. Added fresh boiled water to raise water temp to 49oC. Noticeable activity from the grain. Rewrapped with cling film to insulate as wont touch again till Sunday.

Sunday 14th June - 6pm = 22oC. Smells of ethyl acetate but didnt get much in the taste. Looks like acetobacter on top of the grain / liquid / air surface. pH = 3.5 but tastes much more intense than the last attempt... More "fruity" acid.
Strike at 75oC. Mash temp 70.6oC. Ooops.
Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum): 2g to strike water
Calcium Chloride 2g added to strike water as 33% solution (not as dihydrate) so scaling / correction factor = 110.98 g/mol (anhydrous) / 147.014 g/mol (dihydrate) * 3 = 2.26. 2g x 2.26 = 4.5 mL.
Lactic Acid (88%): 2.5 mL of 3.5 mL predicted added to strike water
Measured mash pH 5.5 (pH meter reading 0.1 unit high across the calibration range).
After mashing added more lactic acid to reduce the pH to <4.5. Ran out of acid at pH 4.8.
Mash OG = 1.043. Diluted with water to reach 48oC. Crappy thermometer read about 1.5oC lower than the actual temp. Added lacto starter after scooping as much of the surface scum off (strongly smelling ethyl acetate acetobacter scum?). Pitch temp = 46.5oC. Thermostat set to not get that warm this time.

Monday 15th June - 7am = 32oC so raised thermostat but forgot to keep an eye on it. came back and thermometer read 48.5 (so 50oC). Idiot. Turned thermostat back down. time to couple an stc1000 to this thing

Tuesday 16th June - 20L @ 1.045.

Mon 22nd June (Day 6) - 1.020. Brett blend still working very slowly... Fantastic fruit taste but a little light on the acid.

Sunday 28th June (Day 12) - 1.014. Dry hopped with 4 g/L DH.

Sunday 5th July (Day 19) - 1.011. 4.5% ABV. pH = 3.3. Tastes very promising. Clean, tangy dry hopped sour.

Monday 6th July (Day 20) - Added gelatine to the keg (chilled over night in the keezer after purging oxygen) and connected CO2 line at 2 bar.

Notes: Method:
1. Boil and cool 2 gallons of water. Pour into sanitized containers (glass gallon jugs from apple juice or cider are ideal) and refrigerate overnight.
2. Bring 3 gallons of water to a temperature between 150°F and 160°F. In a grain bag, steep the crystal rye and 120L crystal for 30 minutes. Drain well, & rinse off the grain into the pot.
3. Add 0.4 oz of Citra hops. Bring to a boil and boil for 30 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Add the 4 lbs of DME, stir well to dissolve. Bring back to a boil for 15 minutes.
5. Add another 0.4 oz of Citra hops. Boil another 15 minutes.
6. Remove from heat. Add honey and stir well to dissolve. Leave covered for 15 minutes to allow the honey to pasteurize.
7. Cool the wort in the pot. (Cool to the point that the water from the fridge plus the wort in the pot will mix to your desired temperature. that temperature depends on the yeast you've chosen. Look up optimal temps for that yeast, from the company that makes it, online.)
8. Using a sanitized funnel for this step, pour 1 gallon of the cold water from the fridge into the sanitized fermenter. Pour the wort into the fermenter. Top off with the second gallon of water from the fridge. Mix with a long sanitized paddle.
9. Pitch a yeast starter, or simply the yeast itself. Dry yeast should be properly rehydrated first, according to manufacturer instructions.
