Notes: *The efficiency has been reduced to %70 due to usual decrease in efficiency that comes with brewing very high gravity beers. We can adjust this as needed.
*In regards to mash water volume, while many people go with 1.5 qts/lb of malt, we have always had success with a lower rate of 1 qt/lb. This may need to be adjusted.
*We have targeted a pre-boil volume of 16 bbls, but if evaporation is greater than this, let me know and we can adjust.
*Super moss/Whirlfloc have different usage rates. add at at rate that has been successful for Mare Island.
*Zinc usage rate has been increased due to increased gravity.
*Ferment at 66 degrees Fahrenheit. Ferment until final gravity doesn't change for at least 3 days in a row.
-Perform diacetyl test (notes to follow) daily until there is no diacetyl detected.
*After the beer is done fermenting, and passes a diacetyl test, drop the temperature of the tank to 35 degrees F. Allow to condition until the beer tastes ready.
*Hops can be substituted based on availability, though please consult with us before making substitution, as some varieties will not be appropriate to style.
*Hop quantity is based on Alpha acid indicated and a pre-boil volume of 16 bbls.

*Treat water as Mare Island does.

Notes: BREWING PROCESS

Multi-step mash method:
The mashing and fermentation schedule of this beer is more complex than most beers. If you cannot follow the schedule exactly, relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew! I’ll try to offer some alternatives to simplify the process.
Mash-in to reach a beginning mash temperature of 55'C (protein rest) & hold for 20 minutes. Ramp or raise the temperature of the mash to 63.3'C (saccharification rest) and hold for 60 minutes. Finally, ramp or raise the temperature to 75.6'C (mash-out) and hold for 15 minutes. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.

A simpler mash method:
Mash at 63.3'C for 90 minutes. This will allow for a fermentable wort that will still make a great Belgian golden strong. However, the head retention and clarity will not be quite what it would be with a multi-rest mash. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.
Chill to 17.8'C, pitch yeast, and allow to raise to 27.8'C over the course of 5 days. If unable to raise this high, raise as high as possible.
Ferment at 27.8'C for 2 weeks. Then cold crash and lager at 0'C for 3 weeks before bottling in Belgian bottles or kegging.
As I said, this recipe calls for a lot of advanced techniques. If you are unable to follow them exactly, keep calm and brew on! You will still be able to make a fabulous beer by following standard brewing procedures.

Extract Version: Replace 5 kg of the the pilsner malt with 3 kg of light dry malt extract. Steep the remaining 0.5 kg of Belgian pilsner malt at 65.5-68.3'C for 30 minutes using a muslin grain bag. Begin with enough volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Allow the rinsed grain bag to drain for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the flame and dissolve the extract thoroughly. Turn the flame back on, bring to a boil and proceed as normal with the 90 minute boil, following the hop schedule and adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil. Chill to 17.8'C and follow fermentation schedule as closely as possible.

Notes: 30L starting water; preboiled to reduce bicarbonate but not much residue - poss not enough boiling and agitation time. next time add slaked lime, as boiling took too long anyway. added 3tsp CaCl and 1tsp MgSo4
split 20L for mash and 10L for sparge
20L strike water 70C for mash temp of 66
mash 66 for 60mins
sparge water 75C (set kettle at 70 to get 75; need to recalibrate)
boiled only for 30mins b4 hops additon as wanted some hot break for haze and litle more volume for fermenter after trub (large last time)
whirlpool for 20mins at 80C with 100g citra
postboil reading 23C 1056 so adjust temp +0.0016 so 1057.6
pitched around 6pm at 25C, hot day so couldn't get much lower before going into fermnter set at 18C
24hrs later VERY active fermentation, no blow over but boiling-like bubble frequency. 48hrs post pitch this slowed dramatically so took reading with tilt thermometer and it read 1005 at 20C so about 1006, seems too low. Added 1st dry hop
Dry hop twice 50g citra, each for 3 days contact, first 2 days after active fermentation
Gravity 1022 at 17.5C at day 5 post fermentation, all activity stopped. Tastes great though. Added other hop addition, swirled a little and increased temp to 22 for the next 3 days.
At 1020/2 after extra 3 days. Doesn't seem to be budging so bottling up. Carbed to 2.0vol, 4g/L so 96g in 500ml for 32 750ml bottles 24 lts. However only 21lt in fermentor, so added around 75g of it and bottled 21 bottles in end, quite a bit of yeasty beer left at end

Notes: Top off with water after the boil to either 4 to 5 gallons to desired gravity.

I did 4.25 gallons for an OG .034/6
FG came in at .010 after 9 days no secondary.

4/4/15 - Mashed for 75 mins 152-54, iodine test, 1 teaspoon Gypsum, mash out to 162, OG came in at .37 pitched at 70 degrees

4/14 - FG at .011 3.4%

6/16/15 - Mash between 156 to 149 mashed out with 190 tea kettle degree to 153 then poured 175 degrees over the grain bag that was out of the pot after. OG .036 4/12 gals, pitched at 66

6/26 - FG .008 for 3.68%. tastes great into keg

1/30/16 - Mashed 152-52 mashout 160. Sparged with kettle water 175. OG .038 no wirflock tab haha.

2/10 - FG .014!? 3.15% meh. I should keep better notes OG was good same yeast maybe longer mash time?

9/7/16 - mashed between 155 to 150 whirfloc, Est Kent Goldings, .75 biol. .25 at 5 mins, OG .034 danstar windsor at 68 degrees

9/15 - FG .008 for 3.41% tastes smoother and less hopped with the Windor yeast and Goldings.

-------------------------------------------

5/31/17 - Mashed 158 down to 154 1 hour 20 mins. OG .038 re hydrated the Windsor pitched at 68 5 gals.

6/9 - FG .012 for 3.47% might do a hair less chocolate
