Notes: Mix all hops together, and hop continuously for 90min** (see note below)
Mash at 149-150*
Ferment with WLP007 at 64*. Use a pitch rate calculator for your starter, you want around 300 billion cells.

Dry hop:
2oz Amarillo
2oz Simcoe
I like to split the additions in half over the 2 weeks

*Amber malt: Use Thomas Fawcett Amber Malt, don't just use any old amber malt. If you can't find Thomas Fawcett Amber, look harder. This is the exact malt DFH uses, and it's a distinctive flavor. It's available at quite a few online retailers if your LHBS doesn't carry it.

**Hopping: Mix all 5oz of hops together, how often you add them is up to you. Some people add a couple pellets every minute, others fill up 30 dixie cups, and add one cup per 3 minutes. Personally I do 10 additions, 0.5oz every 10 minutes, and it turns out excellent.

That's about it, it's actually a fairly easy beer to brew other than the continuous hoping. If you can't find WLP007, use WYeast 1098 - Dry Whitbread, or Safale S04. Definitely use WLP007 if it's available, the yeast character is dead on.

Notes: MeadMakr
The MeadMakr BatchBuildr
Have you ever wondered exactly how much honey you need to make a batch of mead? Or how much nutrient you need and how to dose your must? The MeadMakr BatchBuildr is here to the rescue.
Simply use the sliders to select the batch volume you want to make, the target alcohol by volume for your mead, and your desired sweetness level. The BatchBuildr will provide your target original gravity (OG) and an estimate for the amount of honey you will need to make the batch.
The amount of honey may very depending on your honey's sugar content (the BatchBuildr assumes a 79.6% sugar content). For consistency between batches, ensure the target original gravity and vary the honey content slightly as needed to meet the OG.

General Instructions
1. Clean and sanitize everything that will come into contact with your must.
2. Dissolve honey in small amount of water (leave room to add additional water to reach batch volume).
3. Add water to your batch volume minus volume for rehydration.
4. Aerate the must with a drill stirrer or shake/stir vigorously for 15 minutes.

5. Rehydrate, temper and pitch yeast per Go-Ferm rehydration instructions below.
6. Record specic gravity and temperature for future reference.
7. Apply airlock. Ferment per your yeast temperature specs. Low 60 deg F is sucient for most wine yeasts.
8. Degas twice per day for rst week of fermentation.
9. Dose nutrients per nutrient protocol instructions below.
10. Rack when yeast is done fermenting, as evidenced by no drop in SG for two full weeks. Also rack within 3 weeks of sediment layer forming on the bottom of an aging vessel to avoid sur lie or autolysis avors.
11. When mead clears, bottle and enjoy. After 2-3 months, mead should be ready to drink.
Go-Ferm Rehydration Procedure
For 3 packet(s) yeast, dissolve 18.75g of Go-Ferm Protect in 375mL hot water (the hotter the better). The warmer the water, the easier it will be to dissolve the Go- Ferm.
When the water reaches 104 deg F (40 deg C), pour in your yeast. Give the slurry a quick swirl. After 15 minutes, begin tempering yeast by adding 188mL must to the yeast slurry every 5 minutes.When yeast slurry temperature is within 10 deg F of must temperature, pitch yeast into fermenter.
Fermaid K / Fermaid O / DAP Nutrient Protocol
The total amount of Fermaid O, Fermaid K, and DAP that will be added to your must are 10.2g, 11.4g, and 9.9g, respectively. The nutrients will be divided into 4 staggered nutrient additions. To avoid mead eruption accidents, degas must and

MeadMakr / ProudlypoweredbyWordPress
dissolve yeast nutrient doses in 1 cup must prior to adding to the fermenter.
At 24 and 48 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 5.1g Fermaid O to your must.
At 72 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 5.7g Fermaid K and 4.95g DAP to your must.
When the must reaches the 1/3 sugar break (1/3 of all available sugars are consumed, i.e. 1.120 starting gravity reaches 1.080 or 21 Brix reaches 14 Brix), but no later than 7 days after yeast pitch, add the last dose of 5.7g of Fermaid K and 4.95g of DAP.
If mead starts to show signs of yeast stress from low nutrients after last nutrient dose (evidenced by sulfur smells), add 5.1g Fermaid O as needed to supplement for a high nutrient requirement yeast.

Notes: Simple session ale with a pronounced hop character. An American Bitter and a great yeast starter for something bigger. Love having this on tap in the summer.

February 27, 2016:

S.G. 1.038

-Added 150g wheat DME prior to boil because I had it on hand and wanted to get rid of it.

Yeast: 15g Safale S-05 (2/2014) for approx. 138B cells, rehydrated.

-Yeast pitched at approx 16-17C at 8:30AM. Aerated vigorously be rolling carboy on floor for 5 minutes both before and after pitch.

-February 28 (morning): Very strange "start" to fermentation. Long lag time and zero airlock activity for 24 hours. However, yeast 'rafts' are visibly forming at 24 hours. Still no airlock activity. Possible leak somewhere in carboy/stopper? Very little experience with US-05 but I've been considerable concerned. Long lag times could be from low pitching/holding temp, but still it seems strange. Will keep an eye on this throughout the day.

February 28 (afternoon): Steady, but slow, airlock activity at nearly 30 hours. Low krausen forming. No distinguishable smell from airlock at this point.

February 29 (afternoon): Strong, steady airlock activity but strangely there is very little, if any krausen.

March 1: (morning) Strong, steady airlock activity continues. Still a strange lack of krausen, although I here this is not unheard of with US-05. Airlock smells of slightly plummy, yeasty, rising bread.

March 2 (afternoon): What little krausen was there has fallen. Airlock activity significantly slowed. Temperature raised to approx 17-18C. Will continue to slowly raise the temp over the course of the next few days to approx 20C.

March 3 (afternoon): Temp raised to 19C.

March 4 (afternoon): Temp raised to 20C.

March 8 (evening): Took gravity reading and a taste. Surprisingly, it currently sits at 1.015 - and I think it's finished. I'm glad, though very surprised, that it left so much body despite using US-05. It appears that mashing at 160F worked pretty well. Very full in the mouth, though NOT sweet, for a beer of such a low SG and alcohol content. Very malty, in almost a strange way, at the moment - though this could well be because there is a lot of yeast currently in suspension. Not as much roast character as I was hoping, but there beer is still young. I will remove from temp control tomorrow and allow to 'cold crash' for a few days prior to bottling.

March 9 (evening): Removed from temp control to 'cold crash' prior to bottling, hopefully on Sunday.
