Notes: Inspiration was SN's Beer Camp Belgian Black IPA from Fall of 2013. Target FG should be much lower...toward .012 - .013. I would ferment at the low end for 3 - 5 days, then raise the temp to let the yeast shine through over another 10 days...once FG has been reached, dry hop for 5 - 7 days before bottling.

Notes: I moved the carboy into the kegerator and set it to 60º. I placed the liquid yeast in there as well and waited 4 hours to pitch. I pitched about 1 hour after activating the smack pack. The next morning it appears to not be doing much. Krausen at 24 hours. 36 hours it was fermenting so well it pushed the stopper out of the carboy.
Consider a yeast starter for the next batch- I may have under pitched.
Fermented at 60º, at 5 days increased temp to 70º

Added 2lbs pureed cranberries in a fine mesh hop bag at 8 days.
Added 1/2 tsp sugar at cold crash, next time add more.

I was worried that the cranberries would dye the beer red, but they did not. Cranberry taste is mild not and not at all overwhelming. Cranberries did not make the beer too harsh or bitter.

***Edit:***
On 11/29/17 I tapped the second batch of this. I used the same grain and hops bill, but used Wyeast 1056 this time and 3 pounds of pureed cranberries. I preferred the batch I made last year. 3 pounds of cranberries added too much tartness, and left a slight tannin taste . It also died the beer a nice pinkish color. I added 3/4 tsp of granulated sugar to the keg at cold crash again. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't my best. I think I need to refocus my efforts and try making a better base beer next year. Lose the white wheat, and add some more crystal malt. This beer is lacking something to balance the cranberry and hide the tannins, and I'm not sure that I would really enjoy the base beer without the cranberry. It's also worth considering reducing or removing the bittering hops altogether if I continue to use pureed cranberry.

*In reading the Oct/Nov 2017 Beer & Brewing Magazine, they had an idea to use dried and ground Sumac berries for "tart citrus and brilliant red to your beer in much the same way that cranberries do, but without the massive tannin attack that accompanies them". I will try this for next year's batch

Notes: I have never used Zythos hops before, but thought I would give them a try as I received 6 oz. free from Williams Brewing.
Steeped crystal 40 at 155F for 25 min., then began boil. Bulk of extract was added as late addition.
I pitched onto half of the yeast cake from prior beer that I was bottling the same day. The yeast was one pack of Nottingham and one Wyeast 1272 Amer.Ale II.
Four weeks in primary, no secondary fermenter. Dry hopped with 2 oz. Zythos pellets for last 10 days. I just threw them in loose.
At bottling time the beer had a pleasant pineapple/citrus smell. Primed with 5 oz. of cane sugar.
Starting gravity was 1.073 and finished at 1.017
This was just a test of some zythos hops that I had and it turned out good, but not great. I would like a hoppier and less sweet beer so next time I will be making some changes. I will half the crystal and use something like magnum to bitter with and add some simcoe along with the zythos for flavor/aroma.
10 months later...this beer actually smoothed out and was pretty decent, too bad i was on my last bottle.

Notes: After fermentation has complete, add 2.5 tsp potassium sorbate to stop fermentation, then after a few days combine 3 gallons of wheat beer to 2 gallons of lemonade in the keg

Actual: more like 50:50 lemonade: beer. Lemonade was strong. 24 lemons plus 1 qt bottle equals 8.5 cups lemon juice and 5 cups sugar (2.5 lbs). At first glance, beverage is way too much lemonade.
