Notes: This very dry mead ( a variation of "barkshack ginger mead") was a challenge to input I expect the F.G. To come in at around .992 using dry champagne yeast which I could not find in the recipe maker. Made a change to the Lovibond of buckwheat honey that was listed as mine was around a 35.
Grated Ginger and add everything but yeast, lemongrass and fruit to 1 1/2 gal. Water and boil for 15 min. Remove from heat and remove as much grated ginger as possible
Add fruit steep for 15 min.
Pour into fermentor with 3 1/2 gal. Cool water and lower temp to 70-78 pitch yeast and open ferment for 7 days or until you reach a gravity of 1.020 which ever is first
Rack leaving fruit residue (if any I used juice) by straining, air lock and mature for 1 - 1 1/2 months
Add a Strong lemongrass tea at bottling
Age for at least 1 year with a tasting after 6 months to test mellowing.

Notes: 1.75 L starter made w/ 3 vials whitelabs munich helles 860.
Actual OG 1.051
Cooled w/ wort chiller to 65, racked to carboy and chilled further in chest freezer to 45 (achieved 7 hours later). Aerated and pitched the decanted (chilled) starter. Let temp slowly rise. Krausen activity 24-30 hours later @ 48 degrees. Hit 50 degrees about 36 hours after pitching. Hold at 50.
Down to 1.023 on day 5. Bumped temp up a degree.
Day 6 bumped temp to 53.
1.016 on day 8 and bumped up to 60. sample tasted good. No diacetyl as far as I can tell. Still planning to keep it at 60 for a couple days before lagering, just to be safe.
Transferred to secondary and dropped temp a couple degrees a day until it hit 34. Kept it there 4 weeks, then bottled w/ corn sugar and a bit of washed yeast (probably not necessary).
06/13/14 (4 weeks in bottle) - The beer lacks the maltiness that I was expecting from a munich helles. It's actually pretty fruity, especially in a side by side comparison w/ Andechs Vollbier Hell. Not sure why. Maybe I didn't aerate it well enough, or perhaps I didn't lager it long enough. I enjoy drinking it, but it definitely has a more American flavor profile than I was hoping for. I thought the sample at bottling time was more malty, but can't be certain. KEEP BETTER NOTES!!! |

Notes: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 10 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.
Mesking på 66 grader i 60 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.
Kjøl ned til 17 grader før pitching av gjær.
Gjæring på 18 grader til stormgjæring begynner å avta (typisk etter 3-5 dager). Øk deretter til 20 grader og hold resten av gjæringsperioden (totalt 14 dager).
Gjæralternativer: WLP007, WLP013, WLP051, Danstar Nottingham, Safale S-04 |

Notes: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/firestone-walker-parabola.268482/
I got this recipe from the link above, someone was corresponding with Firestone Walker trying to get info on brewing Parabola and he got sent a scaled down homebrew recipe from the head brewer. If you want to make this cheaper he originally suggested a 2 row base, but their website says Maris Otter is the base malt. Also I upped the Munich a bit to make sure it had a strong malt backbone. Lastly I got the ratios as close as I could before adding the DME. You should add as much DME as you need to hit your gravity
Heres the brewers instructions:
Mash Program
Mash in at 145F / 63C
Soak at 145F for 45 minutes
Ramp to 152F/ 66C
Soak at 152F for 20 minutes (add oats)
Ramp to 158F / 70C
Soak for 10 minutes
Vorlauf / recirculate wort till clear
Slowly collect wort
Boil Program
Boil for 120 minutes
Add liquid malt extract / dry malt extract with 15-20 minutes remaining in boil to reach gravity (we use approximately 1 gallon of golden light liquid malt extract for every 7 gallons of wort collected to achieve gravity
.heavy indeed)
Cellaring
Cool wort to 17C and pitch yeast
Allow 7-10 days of primary fermentation
Remove from yeast and allow 4-5 days secondary and then begin to cool to whatever temp you will store your barrel at (this way you avoid expansion and popping a bung or contraction and pulling in air)
Store for 3-12 months
In order to truly make Parabola, you will need to get your hands on a bourbon barrel or at least a good wood barrel with the addition of a bit of bourbon. (heaven hill, Old Fitzgerald, Knob creek etc). You will want to age this cold or cool for a minimum of 3 all the way up to 12 months. Fill the barrel after primary and secondary transferring as little yeast as possible. Purge your barrel well with Co2 prior to transfer as you do not want to accelerate oxidation during aging. Below are some specs to shoot for and percentages to use. Good luck!

Notes: Aiming for a Sussex style (Harveys) bitter. Adapted from the recipe suggested by dyqik on the homebrewtalk forum which is itself based on one from the jim's beer kits forum. Both are all grain recipes so I've adapted for extract and also adjusted the hops and timings slightly. Grains steeped in 6 litres at 65 to 70 degrees then topped up to 10 litres for the boil with half the malt extract added at this point and the rest at the end. Hence target IBUs should be higher than predicted here. Decided to try a fwh with some of the bramlings cross hops rather than steeping at the end as I've read this gives a better more balanced flavour and aroma. |
