9/5/19 - SG: 1028, tastes big and boozy, cold crashed, finished a little higher than expected
10/5/19 - Vanilla bean soaked in bourbon (24hrs) added to fermenter to see if it would help bring down the boozy flavour.

Notes: DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 152°F (67°C) for 30 minutes, or until conversion is complete. Recirculate until the runnings are free of particles, then run off into the kettle atop the first-wort hops. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 40 minutes. After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Cool the wort to 160–165°F (71–74°C), recirculate or stir to create a vortex, and add the whirlpool hops; steep for 20 minutes. Chill the wort to 67°F (19°C), aerate, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 67°F (19°C). Once the beer is more than 50 percent attenuated (i.e., below 1.038), raise the temperature to about 70°F (21°C) until fermentation is complete. Once the beer has passed a VDK test (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com), lower the temperature to 60°F (16°C), optionally harvest the yeast, and add the dry hops. After 3–4 days, crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.4 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Acidulated malt: We use acidulated malt for mash pH, but you can optionally pivot its share of the grist to pilsner and use your own preferred way to hit a mash pH of 5.15–5.25.

Notes: This was a weird one. Just wanted to see how much sugar I could extract from oats. I used basic rolled oats from the store--only plugged in the New Zealand oats because that's about the PPG I was able to achieve from this mash.

The Ceremix Flex is pretty amazing stuff. It allows you to do low-temp cereal mashes without a decoction step. It would have been better with a more temperature-stable glucoamylase because the sweet spot for Ceremix is around 144F (62C). Amigase Mega L for a glucoamylase would be ideal because it can handle above 140F (60C) temps.

Didn't get a stuck mash or anything, but the oats sucked up a ton of mash water. Mashed in with 6.25gal, but only had a pre-boil volume of 4.5gal. Although with 20lbs of grain I guess that's pretty good.

I added all the LME in order to get the preboil grav to 1.073. Would really love to figure this out without resorting to the LME. Next time I'll try a decoction mash with a slightly different liquefaction enzyme.

Racked to secondary after 2 weeks. Aged on oak (WineStix Light Toast American Oak) for one week. Another 3 weeks in secondary, then cold crashed and bottled.

Notes: One 11.5 gram packet of US-05 was used for this brew, and an apparent attenuation of 82% was achieved. The yeast was rehydrated in the wort, per the manufacturer's instructions.

A second packet of US-05 or a yeast starter would have achieved greater attenuation, but this particular brew benefits from a subtle sweetness.

No off flavors were present in the finished product.

Beer was bottled at approximately 70°F/21°C using 5 oz. of dextrose to achieve approximately 2.5 vols of carbonation.

Notes: - Soak oak cubes in bourbon for a few weeks before adding to secondary
- Huge starter is needed
- Add coffee beans to primary after fermentation for 4-10 days
- Add oak cubes to secondary for ???(need more research on this)

Notes: Yeast: Vermont Ale Yeast (2 Vials) ; purchased from Yeast Bay $8.50 per vial + $8.50 shipping ($25.50 total)

Mash at 155F for 40 minutes. Sparge enough to collect roughly 7.5 gallons in your kettle to achieve 6.5 gallons at knockout. Boil for 75 minutes, adding 1.5 oz. Simcoe @ 30 min. After knockout add 1 oz. each Cascade, Apollo, and Simcoe. Whirlpool with pump or by stirring for a minute and letting it spin down and settle. After 30 minutes, reduce wort temperature to 170F and add 1 oz. each Centennial, Simcoe, and Columbus. Whirlpool again. After 15 more minutes begin final cooling process. The goal is to get 5.5 gallons into the fermenter to account for loss of wort during dry hopping.

Pitch healthy dose of yeast @ 65F. After FG has been achieved add a clarifying agent such as polycar. Allow 3 days for clarifying agent to work, then add first set of dry hops to primary fermenter. After 7 days rack beer off dry hops & yeast cake either into a keg or secondary vessel. Try to purge with CO2 if possible. Add second round of dry hops and wait 5 days. Bottle or begin carbonation process.
