Notes: IMPORTANT: Add honey at end of boil, flame out.

Wort Notes:
After 45-60 min Mash I sparged the BIAB with a pour over 32oz warm water. This makes total boil slightly more than 2 gallons.

Optional: Start of boil pull 2 cups wort and separately boil down into syrup. Then add this back in to the boiling wort.

Style Notes:
After lots of searching the feedback i got is a Scotch Ale or Wee Heavy is a good place to start for a Braggot. Recipe is Shooting for 50% honey so I can feel like it's a Braggot.

The Wee Heavy style suggests longer boil times to get more malty flavors. So I am starting with 2 gallons and a 90 minute boil, targeting 1 gallon. this also allows for the syrup above. You may need to add more water as you go to keep in line. Use a dip stick to measure.

I made a Yeast starter using 6g of GoFerm and 5g Safale yeast.

Finished Notes:
Wort ready at 1 gallon and SG of 1.080 NICE!

next time: Might swap Munich for Victory to see difference in dryness.

Turned out great at 1.010. Honey fermented clean (not too hot) I left in fermenter for 18 days before bottling. It was good and drinkable after being bottled for 3 weeks. I am told aging makes it even better so I will save the rest for a couple months..

Notes: Gonna kettle sour with wyeast 5335. Full notes below.

1-2 day kettle sour with either WLP672 brevis (2.5 billion, 110f) or Omega plantarum oyl-605 (150 billion, 90f) or wyeast 5335 (10 billion, 95f). Need about 30-100 billion cells.

0.5 liter 1.04 lacto starter 24 hours before keep at recommended temp and swirl but don't areate unless brevis. Add 5g-10g chalk an ounce of pasteurized Apple juice and some yeast nutrients if desired.

OR, make a 0.5 l starter with 2 tsp of non fat Greek plain yogurt and do it all at 110f...
- To sour 5 gallons of wort with yogurt, make a 1 liter batch of unhopped starter wort the day before brew day. Add 2-4 teaspoons of live yogurt to the starter wort. Maintain a 100-110°F (37.8-43.3°C) temperature for about 24 hours. On brew day, and after the 24 hour sour starter is finished, mash and sparge a low IBU wort as normal, boil for a few minutes, and then chill the wort down to 100-110°F (37.8-43.3°C). Pitch the yogurt starter into the wort, and hold the temperature as close to the 100-110°F (37.8-43.3°C) range as possible. Bubbling CO2 through the wort is advised if possible to prevent potential off flavors, but is not required. Within 24 hours, the wort should be down in the 3.x pH range. Boil the wort, adding any hops that the recipe calls for, yeast nutrient, etc., and then cool the wort down to Saccharomyces pitching temperatures. Bob's your uncle! [2]

Refer to milk the funk wiki. And other sour kettling articles.

sanitize wort first by bringing to boil before lowering to lacto pitchign temp

consider loweing hte ph to 4.5 using lactic acid before pitching the lacto (add about 2-3ml lactic)

let the lacto go until ph = 3.5-3.6

Notes: American Ale (Wyeast Labs #1056) [2500.00 ml]

Super High Gravity Ale (White Labs #WLP099) [2500.00 ml] [Add to Secondary]

In a bowl, mixed together 3 Oz. Amarillo, 3 Oz. Warrior, 3 Oz. Simcoe and blended together. Made 40 Dixie cups with 6.3 grams in each cup. Added 1 cup every 3 minutes for all of 120 minute boil.

Divided Dextrose into 28 individual 12 oz ziplock bags. After transfer to conical, started adding the second day, twice daily (12 oz in the morning and 12 oz in late afternoon) for 14 days. Towards the end, would see how fermentation was doing before adding. If fermentation slowed, re-think before you add more sugar as once added the final beer may be sweet.

1/2 gallon of wort was added to the high gravity yeast to make a starter. Second yeast was added on day 5 of fermentation.

Oxygen was added once daily for 4 days. 30 seconds @ 1200 psi with 0.2 micron SS Stone.

Dry hopping: Added 2 oz. Amarillo, 2 oz. Warrior and 2 oz. Simcoe to a bowl and blend. 28 ziplock backs were filled with 6 grams of hops each. 1 bag was added with each evening addition of dextrose and continued for a total of 28 additions or 4 weeks.

Fermentation was on the cold side, roughly 66-70 degrees. Lots of heat from the yeast.

OF ended at 1.050. Let sit for a few days on yeast to help finish fermentation. Stopped adding sugar on day 13. Total dextrose added as 21.5 pounds. Re-calculated OG was 1.200.

Bottled in 6 oz champagne splits, no addional yeast or sugar added. No carbonation. Final % with high gravity hydrometer was 20.7% abv.

Beer has aged nicely and a wonderful treat for on a cold night or for a beer tasting event.

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.

Creation Date: 3/7/2016 7:09 AM

Notes: Note: This is a 2.5 gallon batch

Steep grains in mash. Hold at ~155F for 30-45 minutes.

Bring to boil then take off heat to add malt extract. Bring back to boil and follow additions:

60 mins: 0.4 oz East Kent Goldings
15 mins: 0.3 oz East Kent Goldings
Whirlfloc Tablet
0 mins: 4 oz pecans (to sterilize the pecans so they can sit in the fermentation)

Cool and add yeast as with any batch.

Our OG was 1.058 +/- 0.001 so pretty much right on target. I will add more results in about 2 weeks when primary fermentation is done!

Final Gravity: 1.015

Add a small amount of boiled maple syrup into the final product (after fermentation is complete). I suggest taking a small sample of beer (with a known volume) and adding small amounts of maple syrup to test flavor. Then add in the maple syrup in proportionally.

*Pecan Prep
Pecans are super oily and that can have an effect on head retention, texture etc. so it is crucial to remove as much oil from the pecans as possible prior to brewing with them.

Crush pecans and cook at 315F for 10-15 minutes. A food processor works really well for the crushing. To squeeze out oils, place in paper bags and let them soak or place under paper towels and place weight on them (my chemical engineering textbooks were perfect for this!)

Repeat this process as many times as necessary, we did it 5 times and still had a lot of oil so experiment with this.

**Maple Syrup Type
Use Grade B maple syrup which is the darker variety since it serves as better fermentable sugar. Can also be called Grade A Dark so look out for that.

Notes: Bring a taste of Lahaina, Hawaii home to your brew kettle. This big tropical IPA is brewed with passion fruit, orange, and guava (get it?—POG).

This homebrew recipe is featured in Top 50 Commercial Clone Beer Recipes. Find out what recipe was featured for your state!

Fruit Preparation

Combine guava, peeled oranges and Lilikoi juice in bowl and puree together. Fresh fruit can be added to the kettle late in the boil. Fruit could also be sterilized separately and added to the fermentation in between 3-4.5 P (1.012-1.018).

Directions

Conduct a mash at 150° F for 60-75 minutes.

Follow the boil schedule as indicated in the ingredients.

Ferment at 68° F for 5-7 days, and then dry hop
