Notes: This is a slighly hoppier modern version of Alexander Keiths IPA from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

If you want something close to the original ale version, try 0.25oz of Nugget and 0.25oz Columbus at 25 minutes and another 0.25oz of Nugget and 0.25oz Columbus at 20 minutes.

Notes: Started mash at about 68C, wrapped the pot in a towel and let it sit until about 60 mins. Dropped to about 62C, so I added a bit of heat and let it sit another 15 mins.

I read about Belgian IPAs being mashed at lower temps so I thought this strategy was ok. We'll see...

EDIT: I modified the mash temp to 66C in the recipe after the fact and it skewed the calculation towards 8.4% ABV, while originally I had entered 67C and it said 8.3%, the true ABV of Raging Bitch :/

Taste test before bottling is a bit spicy, but good.

Notes:
Take the 1st gallon of running's and boil it down on the stove to about 1 quart (or liter) of liquid, add this to the boil, this provides the caramel flavor and color for the beer.
Because of this you want to calculate your water as if you were producing enough wort for 6.25 gallons of beer.

After a month long primary rack the beer onto 2 oz of medium toasted American oak chips that have been boiled in a cup of water for 10 minutes. You can probably alter the flavor a good deal by swapping this for chips soaked in: whiskey, rye, spiced, dark or navy rum etc.

Notes: Like most lagers, I'd give this 2 months from brew day before serving. 1 month in the fermenter (dry-hop at the end if you're going that route) and another for lagering.

1388 takes a long time to drop out, even with gelatin.

I serve this about 2psi higher than normal (flow control helps). There will be foam, but a nice fluffy head is to style and there should be a bit more prickly carbonation.

Notes: mash 64-66C, left for the whole night. First running-offs collected, the rest went for distillation. 6-hour-long boil.
gravity around 1.220, but it is out of scale. 1H NMR doesn't give an answer. Try to evaporate a sample to check what is the sugar content.
Evaporation (60°C, 7days, air circulation) of 50g sample left 25g solids;this means that the wort was 50°P which equals 1.233 g/cm3.
Fermenter was left open @20°C, fermentation picked up after 3 days (!). 15.10.2015

Warto poznać za fundamentalną pracą G.E. Habicha pt. Schule der Bierbrauerei (szkoła browarnictwa)[2]:

Z 1000 kg słodu i 5 kg chmielu produkowane jest około 10,5 hl (1050 litrów) piw

piwa jopejskie trzeba było bardzo szybko schłodzić
By zapewnić naprawdę szybkie parowanie gorącego wywaru przelewano go w duże płaskie kadzie
Wydobyte z pleśniowych jaskiń piwo filtrowano, beczki zamykano, ale proces dalszej, już bardzo powolnej i spokojnej fermentacji trwać musiał jeszcze cały rok

Warto dodać, bo nie wszyscy o tym mówią, że było to także kwaśne piwo. Poziom kwasu mlekowego był całkiem duży, na poziomie około 2% – czyli tak jak w lambicu. Jednak tutaj zostawała olbrzymia ilość cukrów resztkowych, więc kwaśności nie było aż tak czuć
Jakość tego wyjątkowego piwa była rzekomo testowana w bardzo oryginalny sposób. Otóż zawartość pierwszego kufla wylewano na ciężką drewnianą ławę, na której następnie siadali piwosze, by błyskawicznie się podnieść. Jeśli ława unosiła się wraz z nimi, można było kontynuować konsumpcję. Można się zastanawiać, ile prawdy jest tym zwyczaju, ponieważ podobne procedury istnieją w Bawarii – jeśli piwosz w skórzanych spodniach przyklei się do oblanej piwem ławy, oznacza to, że trunek jest odpowiednio treściwy.

Dzięki dziełu „Schule der Bierbrauerei” autorstwa G. E. Habicha, opublikowanemu w 1865 r., możemy poznać kilka technicznych szczegółów produkcji.

Zacieranie odbywało się metodą infuzyjną, zaś obciągniętą brzeczkę gotowano czasem nawet do 20 godzin, aby osiągnąć pożądaną gęstość. Dzięki tym zabiegom z 1000 kg słodu i 5 kg chmielu uzyskiwano ok. 10,5 hl zielonego piwa

Top-fermented beers, especially Danziger Jopenbier, are discussed by P. Mumme (W. Brauer, 1906, 13). This is a top-fermented, highly concentrated beer, which is seen and drunk more abroad than at home where often not even its name is known. The peculiar smell and taste, reminiscent of port wine, the production methods, fermentation and treatment give Jopenbier something characteristic, because it greatly differs from all other top-fermenting beers from and stands alone in its type. - The wort is left to sponataneously ferment. First of all a thick blanket forms on the surface on which all sorts of moulds grow. These blankets in various vats are again very different from each other in appearance and strength, depending on the points of attack the moulds have found. Gradually, the yeast has developed so that it is able to cause fermentation. - The head, which is often so strong that a 20 gram piece won't fall through it, begins to lift itself. - This is the time when the vats must be covered, because after 2 to 3 days a very vigorous fermentation begins. Before the mould layer has risen to avoid it collapsing. The lids have at the front a wide, somewhat overhanging outlet; through this channel, for 8 to 12 days the beer often pushes out large amounts of loose foam, which is collected in barrels or tubs placed below, until the primary fermentation calms and peaceful secondary fermentation takes place. The foam subsides, the ejected, very bitter beer is filled after the lid is lifted, and the tub is left to itself again. Now in long-lasting secondary fermentation and slow clarification take place, during which the sediment settles. - An analysis of Jopenbier revealed :

Alcohol 3.52%
Real extract 45.04%
Apparent extract 43.20%
calculated OG 49.94%
apparent degree of attenuation 13.49%
Real degree of attenuation 9.81%"
"Jahresbericht über die Leistungen der chemischen Technologie (1907)", 1907, pages 352 - 353. (My translation.)

49.94º Plato is 1230º in SG. The finishing gravity is 1195º. That's quite an achievement having an FG higher than the OG of a Scottish 160/- Ale.

What can you say about the fermentation, other than that it sounds scary and disgusting at the same time. I wonder what it was that caused the fermentation. The slime sounds like some sort of bacteria, despite being described as mould. Did Saccharomyces play any part in the fermentation?

From the comparison to port wine, it sounds like there was both some acidity and considerable sweetness in the finished beer. Given the description of the fermentation, it would be a miracle if there were no trace of sourness

Notes: Working Clone of Lagunita's 12th Of Never. Any input good, bad, or ugly appreciated!

~Note low efficiency! Correct for own equipment
~Yeast not critical, just clean
~03/09/19 Adjusted Hop Profile... Again
~05/29/19 Adjusted Equipment Profile For New Setup.
~07/01/19 Finished first keg. Made for a fantastic IPA
More tropical than a 12th

~02/26/20 Getting ready to brew again, making more adjustments
-Added sparge step to better efficiency vs full volume mash
-Adjusted water profile for softer profile
-Added Acidulated Malt instead of Lactic Acid for Mash PH
-Swapped out Cashmere hops for Citra hops
-Lowered temp and extended whirlpool for better hop isomerazation
-Doubled dry hop quantities
-Might change yeast?

Notes: Brew Day:

- Grains were all run through the mill at my LHBS 3 times, as I could not adjust the setting. Still not sure how well milled they were.
- Added ~1g too much gypsum; reflected in the recipe, will fix next time.
- Citric acid was added by way of ~1.5oz lemon juice (juice of one lemon)
- Mash was held at 150 for 90 min for the alpha amylase, then lowered to and held at 140 for another 90 min for the glucoamylase. Conversion was achieved, as indicated by an iodine test.
- Sweet Wort Gravity: 1.024
- Used a new hop bag, and as a result some of the pellets clumped and probably didn't properly seep into the wort during boil.
- OG: 1.048: the Apple Juice was slightly sweeter than the recipe indicates.
