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: Mengden meske- og skyllevann du bør bruke kommer an på utstyret og metoden du brygger med. Som et anslag kan vi si at du kan bruke 20 l meskevann og 13,8 l skyllevann til dette ølet. Noen bryggemaskiner (f.eks. Speidel Braumeister) kan kreve større mengder meskevann. Sjekk alltid manualen på utstyret du bruker.

I dette ølet kan et mer avansert meskeskjema være verdt å prøve:
55 grader i 15 min (proteinsteg)
63 grader i 45 min (beta-amylasesteg)
72 grader i 15 min (alfa-amylasesteg)
77 grader i 5 min (utmesk)

ELLER:
Mesking på 66 grader i 75 min. Utmesk på 77 grader i 5 min hvis du har mulighet til å øke temperatur i mesken.

Kjøl ned til 9 grader før pitching av gjær.

Gjæring på 10 grader til 2/3 av FG er nådd (typisk etter 10-14 dager). Øk deretter gradvis (ca. 1 grad pr. dag) til 17 grader. Hold på 18 grader i 2-3 dager. Senk deretter til 10 grader eller lavere før tapping (totalt 20-28 dager).

Gjæralternativer: WLP830, WLP833, WLP838, WLP850, WLP940

Notes: Lactic Acid - pH down to 5.1

mash high to match sourness from fruits.
CaCl2 - for yeast to work well - 5g

0.2 kg sugar to get some esters

orange peel - 5 spoons

Fruit generally adds fermentables that tend to thin out the beer; the resulting beer may seem lighter than expected for the declared base style - that is why mash is so high.

Sugar frim fruits shoud jack up the alc content to 5.5-5.6%.
Belgian yeast should attenuate well and produce some tart flavours that shall match fruit sweetness.

Notes: Original recipe: 77.5% 2 row, 5% honey malt, 5% wheat, 5% carapils, 5% aromatic munich, and 2.5% C10.

LHBS doesn't stock aromatic malt or C10. I subbed 5% munich light, 5% biscuit, and 5% C20 to make up for the color and character loss.

Notes: For version 3--Add 4 bags raspberries (pureed) to primary after the end of fermentation for 4 days. Remove. Crash then add 4 bags (pureed) to primary post crash for 3 days. Rack to secondary w/ clarifier. Let sit for 2 days before kegging.

For version #2--Add 2.25# of raspberries toward the end of primary--remove after 4 days (some of the berries seemed still intact, so I put the second addition into the food processor while frozen and coursely processed them). Then add #2.25 for 4 days before racking to secondary. Also added 1# rolled oats to mash to try and add body. Don't want to add dextrin. Pretty sure Rubeaus uses dextrin malt, but it gives me gas.

Spring 19 version: Puree Rasp. Cold Crash after 10 days. Once crashed, add all Raspberries to primary in the cooler. Steep for 4 days,

For version #1 I added 12oz each of raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries at the end of primary, then added 2.25# of raspberries after primary for 3 days.

Notes: Smooth, rich, velvety, not too roasty, not too dry! Coffee roast notes without a burnt flavor. GREAT beer.

Wyeast 1335 is an option, but the 1450 gives a luscious mouthfeel.

Finishes at 1.016-1.020, depending on yeast strain.

For dry yeast S04 would work, but keep it on the low temperature range, 62-65 if possible.

For Imperial, use A10.
