Notes: Any pale malt will work. I used pilsner because that's what I had.
Do not boil. Strain, and cool to 120 degrees.
Put 2 to 3 ounces of whole pale malt in a gallon jug and transfer the wort over it. Top up all the way with boiled (deoxygenated) water and cover with plastic wrap and a rubber band. Don't leave more than 1/2 inch of headspace. Hold at 118 degrees for at least 3 days to sour, then it can be stored at room temperature.
Use to acidify the mash of future beers (it should be about 2% lactic acid) and top the jug back up with fresh unhopped wort to keep it going. |

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: OG: 10.61
A multiple gold medal winner at the Colorado State Fair, this decadent vanilla porter
is sure to raise eyebrows. Most vanilla beer
recipes use one or two vanilla beans; this
one uses five and has the base recipe to
back them up. A rich, smooth porter with
hints of rum and molasses behind a coffee-
like roasted character, then infused with
fragarant vanilla. The beans used in this kit
are 100% Madagascar bourbon beans that provide deep, sweet flavor. The final pint emanates a heady vanilla perfume and makes for both a wonderful after-dinner drink or the ultimate ice cream float.
- Urca Vanilla Bean Blend – cut into approximately 1
/2" pieces and add to secondary fermenter
one week before bottling day |

Notes: This is an easy and delicious sweat cider. Here are the instructions:
• Buy 5 gal of fresh unfiltered cider (pasteurized)
• Buy 6 cans of Apple juice concentrate. (No preservatives or added sugar)
• Buy Yeast nutrient
• Buy Champaign yeast. I usually use 2 packs of the dry yeast because it only cost $ 0.75.
• Mix your cider, thawed apple juice concentrate, and yeast nutrient in a car boy. Make sure you start with the apple juice concentrate and top off with cider leaving room for fermentation at top of carboy.
• Mix well and take an OG reading.
• Shake really well for 2 mins and Pitch yeast.
• Seal with airlock and put in cool dark room for 7 days.
• Buy 5-6 more cans of apple juice concentrate and rack cider onto apple juice concentrate in bottling bucket.
• Mix well and bottle. (do not add any priming sugar) The apple juice concentrate acts as your priming sugar.
• Make sure you use proper sanitization throughout the all processes. (I use star no rinse sanitizer.)
• Bottle.
• Make sure to open a bottle every week to determine carbonation level. Once desired carbonation level is achieved refrigerate all bottles to stop carbonation.
