Notes: PREP Peel from 1 scrubbed and dried grapefruit
60-MINUTE MASH AT 152 ° F
2 quarts water, plus 1 gallon for sparging
1.35 pounds English Pale malt
0.1 pound Victory malt
0.1 pound Caramel 10 malt
0.1 pound Caramel 20 malt
0.15 pound torrified wheat
60-MINUTE BOIL
0.1 ounce Columbus hops
0.2 ounce Amarillo hops, divided into halves
0.2 pound clear Belgian Candi Sugar
¼ cup honey
FERMENT ½ packet English ale yeast, such as Safale S-04 (see note)
3 tablespoons honey, for bottling
Note: Hops, like other crops, experience shortages depending on the growing season. Amarillo stocks can vary from year to year.
So if you have a hard time finding them, try Centennial or Cascade for a citrus-filled hop character.
PREP: Preheat the oven to 250 ° F.
Place the pieces of grapefruit peel directly on a baking sheet and bake on the lower rack until they are dry, 15 to 20 minutes,
or until the peel begins to brown.
MASH: In a medium stockpot, heat the 2 quarts water over high heat to 160 ° F. Add all the malts and torrified wheat and stir gently.
The temperature should reduce to 150 ° F within 1 minute.
Turn off the heat.
Steep the grains for 60 minutes between 144 ° F and 152 ° F.
Every 10 minutes, stir and take the temperature. If the grains get too cold, turn on the heat to high while stirring until
the temperature rises to that range, then turn off the heat.
With 10 minutes left, in a second medium stockpot heat the 1 gallon water to 170 ° F.
After the grains have steeped for 60 minutes, raise the heat of the grains-and-water mixture to high and stir until the
temperature reaches 170 ° F.
Turn off the heat.
SPARGE: Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pot, and pour the grains into the strainer, reserving the liquid.
Pour the 1 gallon of 170 ° F water over the grains. Recirculate the collected liquid through the grain once.
BOIL: Return the pot with the liquid to the stove on high heat and bring to a boil. When it starts to foam, reduce the heat to
a slow rolling boil and add the Columbus hops.
Add half of the Amarillo hops after 30 minutes, the grapefruit peel after 55 minutes, and the remaining Amarillo hops after 59 minutes.
Prepare an ice bath by stopping the sink and filling it with 5 inches of water and ice. At the 60-minute mark, turn off the heat,
add the Belgian Candi Sugar and ¼ cup honey, and stir to dissolve.
Place the pot in the ice bath in the sink and cool to 70 ° F, about 30 minutes.
FERMENT: Using a sanitized funnel and strainer, pour the liquid into a sanitized fermenter.
Add any water needed to fill the jug to the 1-gallon mark. Add the yeast, sanitize your hands, cover the mouth of the jug with one hand,
and shake to distribute evenly.
Attach a sanitized stopper and tubing to the fermenter and insert the other end of the tubing into a small bowl of sanitizing solution.
The solution will begin to bubble as the yeast activates, pushing gas through the tube.
Wait 2 to 3 days until the bubbling has slowed, then replace the tubing system with an airlock.
Wait 11 more days, then bottle, using the 3 tablespoons honey.
Variations:
1 ½ tablespoons of fresh grated ginger. Add it at 55 minutes into the boil.
Agave nectar will work as a substitution for honey. |

Notes: From George Washington's notebook circa 1757.
This recipe has been scaled down from a full cask size to 1 gallon.
Ingredients, per Washington's recipe:
0.5lb Wheat Bran
1lb Molasses (light molasses, or Lyle's Golden Syrup)
Hops to your taste
Heat 1.50 gallons of water to 165F. Add wheat bran, and heat to boiling. At start of boil, add first hops.
Stir well to avoid bran sticking to bottom of kettle.
Add aroma hops with 10 minutes remaining.
Pour boiling contents of kettle over a strainer into a new kettle that has the molasses/golden syrup in it. Let the strainer drain for a couple of minutes, then discard the spent bran/hops.
Cool to "just above blood warm" or around 80-90F. Pitch yeast and attach blow tube or airlock.
Ferment 7-10 days, then bottle without priming (this is a still beer). There may be some residual fermentation that provides very light carbonation. You can also wait until all fermentation completes and then bottle, which takes about 14 days or so.
This beer could benefit from extended resting time to let the fluffy trub settle out - whether in the fermenter, or the bottle. It will not form a typical yeast layer on the bottom of a bottle, but rather more of a gelatin-like layer in the bottle. Be aware when pouring the beer from the bottle so globs of trub don't fall into the glass.
*****************
* Tasting Notes *
*****************
Appearance - much like a hefeweizen. Bright, cloudy yellow. Described as looking like "pineapple juice" by a few people.
Aroma - yeasty, with light fruit.
Flavor - Grapefruit and wheat. Harsher/edgier citrus "zing" when fresh, which has mellowed considerably over the course of a few weeks in the bottle. This beer has a hint of dryness, with a very forward hop presence.
***************
* Bottom line *
***************
This is an interesting piece of history from Mr. Washington. I will be bottling this a month or two before the 4th of July, to share with others.
George advises "hops to your taste" and I would take him up on it - vary the hops but watch out with the alpha...you want low alpha hops for this brew. The bitterness of the hops presents itself assertively if you are not careful with the bittering amount.
This is a very light and dry beer that showcases hops if you proportion it right, with a smooth mouthfeel and very light wheat notes.
***************************************
* Original Recipe - punctuation added *
***************************************
To make Small Beer
Take a large Sifter full of Bran[.]
Hops to your Taste. Boil these 3 hours. Then strain out 30 Gallons into a Cooler, put in 3 Gallons Molasses while the Beer is scalding hot or rather drain the molasses into the Cooler & strain the Beer on it while boiling Hot. Let this stand till it is little more than Blood warm. Then put in a quart of Yeast if the weather is very cold, cover it over with a Blanket & let it work in the Cooler 24 hours. Then put it into the Cask[.] leave the bung open till it is almost done working[.] Bottle it that day Week it was Brewed. |

Notes: Standard boil profile. Whirlfloc, yeast nutrient, aroma hops, and 2nd chocolate additions @ 10 minutes. S.G. reading and volume/S.G. adjustment to approx. 22 gallons just before flame out.
Add coffee in seeping bag @ flame out and seep to taste. Whirlpool chill to 160 degrees and allow to settle for 30 minutes. Transfer to fermenter, simultaneously chilling to 70 degrees and aerating with pure oxygen. Pitch a slurry of (5) 11 g packets of properly hydrated yeast @ 70 degrees and install airlock. Wait 3-4 hours, apply a 120 second, pure oxygen aeration, then close butterfly valve, remove aeration assembly, and cap. Maintain fermentation temperature at 68-70 degrees through primary fermentation. Chop vanilla bean into small pieces and soak in bourbon during primary fermentation. When primary fermentation is mostly complete, drop trub and add entire bourbon/vanilla liqueur mixture to fermenter. Allow fermentation to proceed until complete, sampling and adjusting vanilla and coffee levels to taste as necessary. Drop ambient temperature to lagering temperature if possible and hold until beer clears. Rack and carbonate. Age to taste.
Results: A wonderfully smooth porter with delicious coffee/chocolate flavor, and a great aroma. Best served well aged at cellar temperature.

Notes: pick up irish moss
4 packets of yeast
the colder you start out, the less the diacetyl that is produced
Let it go for 12 hrs at 40 degrees. creep up to 50 degrees by 48 hrs
Steve's thoughts: I don't entirely agree with his fermentation method
mostly because normally you would actually do what's called a diacetyl rest
because SOME "will" be produced, so what you do is raise the temp after ferm is mostly finished, to let the yeast eat those byproducts basically
so you could follow his schedule, let it sit at 50 for a week or two, then raise to 65 or even 70 for 2 days to finish of the diacetyl
THEN down to lagering temps (close to freezing as you dare) |
