Notes: 1. Boil 1/2 cup water, cool, then start yeast
2. Place the cracked grains in the muslin bag(s) and place in a pot with 2 gallons of cold water. Add gypsum. Bring the water temperature up to 150 degrees F. Steep the grains for 30 minutes remove and discard the grains.
3. Add the extracts into the pot and stir to thoroughly mix the extract into the water.
4. Bring the liquid to a boil.
5. At the 30 minute mark, add the boiling hops slowly to the pot.
6. At the 45 minute mark, add the Irish moss to the pot.
7. At the 60 minute mark, remove the brew pot from the stove. Cool the wort using an ice bath or a wort chiller.
8. Transfer the chilled wort to a sanitized fermenter. Add enough cold water to bring the total volume up to 4 gallons.
9. Add yeast nutrient, enzyme and dextrin
10. When the temperature of the wort drops to below 85 degrees, add the yeast.
11. Place the airlock onto the fermenter.
12. After primary fermentation has completed, transfer the beer to the secondary fermenter, add isinglass (optional)
13. After secondary fermentation has completed, dissolve corn sugar in minimum amount needed of water, bring to a boil.
14. Transfer beer from secondary fermenter to bottling bucket. Add cooled priming sugar solution.
15. Transfer beer to sanitized bottles & cap. Allow 7-10 days for carbonization to complete.

Primary for 5 days?
Secondary 3 days?

Either freeze fruit and add at the end of the boil or puree it, freeze it, and add to secondary. (Secondary will give more fresh fruit/juice flavor where end of boiling will be more subtle).

DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 147°F (64°C) for 45 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops, yeast nutrient, and finings according to the schedule. After the boil, add dextrose and mix in well, then do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, chilling the wort to 180°F (82°C) or topping up with cold water to reach temperature. Add the whirlpool hops and allow 60 minutes to steep. Chill to 60°F (15.5°C), oxygenate thoroughly, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 62°F (16.7°C) until the gravity has dropped to about 1.020, then allow free rise to 68°F (20°C). When fermentation is complete and the beer has been at terminal gravity for 3 days—usually by Day 8—add dry hops and ALDC (an enzyme that inhibits the production of diacetyl). Drop/remove hops 2 days after dry hopping. After 2 more days, drop hops again or rack and test for diacetyl (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com). Crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.65 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Mash: You can easily hold the mash for an hour to help ensure full conversion. Don’t raise the temperature for a mash-out step, and sparge with 168°F (76°C) water, not higher.
Oxygenate: Use plenty of oxygen—I target 16 ppm of dissolved oxygen (DO). That takes about 3 liters per minute (LPM) on our system.
Efficiency: This beer is not designed to be a high yielder, and those hops will soak up some wort. If volume is your concern, try to get 6.5 gallons (25 liters) into your fermentor. Using a foam inhibitor such as Foam Blast, FermCap, or HopAid can help keep your yeast in the fermentor, to help ensure a healthy fermentation.
pH: I target a wort pH of 5.1 at knockout. So, depending on what the pre-boil pH is, I’ll adjust at whirlpool after adding hops.

Original recipe calls for WLP002 yeast, I don't have temperature controlled fermentation, so using US05 to prevent ester runaway.

Amounts converted to meteric. Following this beer up with Partigyle American brown ale.

Notes: 90 minute boil with hops, adjuncts and nutrients as needed. Chill to 64F. Oxygenate slowly through 0.05 micron diffusion for 90 seconds (we’re after 9-10 ppm O2). Ramp primary from 64F to 78F through 7 days. At 1.014 rack off primary yeast to secondary and cool to 55F. Hold for 5 days+ until the FG of 1.013 is reached. Dump yeast a second time, lower temp to 40F and hold for 6 weeks. Bottle using heavy Belgian bottles or Champagne bottles. Prime with 31g/gal Golden Candi Syrup and re-pitch 500ml Westvleteren strain stir-plate. Bottle re-ferment for 14 days at 76F. Cellar for 12 months.

Notes:
Strike with 9 gallons at 160 to hit 147. Raise through Herms to 155 after 45 minutes. Verify Mash PH is 5.2. Adjust if necessary with lactic acid. Sparge with 11 gallons at 165-170

Safeale 04 (wyeast 007) fermented out three generations in. Yeast has a good clean ale flavor. Made a 2 liter starter two days before brew day 1-21-12.

Pitch yeast at 64 and hold for 3-4 days. Add 1vl for 2min of pure 02 prior to pitching. Raise to 70 degrees after a few days to clear diactyle. Yeast should be a dry english ale yeast or california ale yeast strain.

Sorachi Ace is dryhopped near the end of primary fermentation.

Notes: the addition of the cocoa powder may have made the beer too bitter. i tried it on day 2 of fermentation and didnt like it, its like bitter dark chocolate. I would add less cocoa powder next time. As a solution, I may add lactose to the finished beer to increase the sweetness. I will keep tasting it and see what happens. Over all however, I think its a good flavor for a mexican chocolate stout.

bitterness faded, but I still think the cocoa added an unwanted edge. I'm adding 1/4 lb of lactose disolved in 2 cups water to the secondary for each 5 gallon.

On 11/22/16 day 11 i racked the beer into the secondary. To one i added 16grams ancho chilies includign seeds, broken apart
6 grams chili de arbol pods, cut open and wit hseeds
1 vailla bean cut open
8g cinnamon sticks broken up
2.2g (1 tbs) nutmeg
and 1/4th lb of lactose dissolved in 2 cups water and boiled

Notes: Brewed Sunday 18th January 2015.
Recipe based on Kelsey McNairs Session IPA with a slightly tweaked grain bill and different hops.
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/stone-ballast-point-kelsey-mcnair-collaboration-201080/
https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=11610.0

Mashed in with 20L water at strike temp of 78oC. Mash temp of 69oC (target 70oC). Mash pH looks about right from pH strips (perhaps a little more towards 5.2 than 5.5).
Top up with 3L of water at end of the mash to recover 15L of wort
Batch sparge with 2 x 15L water to recover a total volume of 45L for the boil.

Calcium Sulphate (as gypsum): 4g to malt grist and 5g to the boil
Calcium Chloride added to the strike water as 33% solution (not as dihydrate) so scaling / correction factor = 110.98 g/mol (anhydrous) / 147.014 g/mol (dihydrate) * 3 = 2.26. 3.5 x 2.26 = 7.91 mL.
Lactic Acid (88%) added to strike water (5.6 mL) and to sparge water (3.3 mL).

Rehydrated 2 packets US-05 in 2 x 110 mL cooled boiled water at 37oC.
1. Sprinkle yeast onto surface of water in a glass bottle, cover with foil and let stand for 15 mins.
2. Stir yeast with sanitised spoon and let stand for 5 mins.
3. Stir again to form a cream and let stand for 5 mins.
4. Bring down to wort temperature by adding small increments of cooled boiled water.
5. Pitch into beer within 30 mins.

Beer 1 (no clarity ferm / carrier fermentor) 21L at 1.047 (after dilution) yeast pitched at 23oC
Beer 2 yeast (+ clarity ferm / no carrier) pitched at 18oC
Beers fermented in our cellar storage at 15-15.5oC.

Collected 2 samples to run an FFT at ambient in our kitchen (21-25oC).

24/01/15 - FFT results. Beer 1 = 1.014. Beer 2 = 1.013. Did a diacetyl test on each sample and definitely diacetyl after heating the samples and then cooling (repeated 5 days later and much less diacetyl).

25/01/15 (Sun, Day 8) Moved into the boiler room at 21oC for "d-rest" before dry hopping.

28/01/15 (Wed, Day 11) - Dry hops added 34g of each varietal in each beer (so 102g DH in ~20L beer [~5 g/L]). Decided against adding Columbus as planned as the hops just did not smell as good as the others (perhaps a little oxidised as the other packets were all opened fresh for the brewday but the columbus was opened a few brewdays ago). Samples taken for gravity readings. Beer 1 = 1.014. Beer 2 = 1.013. Ran a diacetyl test and a small amount detected.

02/02/15 (Mon, Day 16) - Taken to the attic to crash chill (5 days on DH). Attic temp (1oC).

05/02/15 (Thurs, Day 19) - Kegged both beers in corny kegs that had been CO2 purged by transferring a full keg of Starsan from one keg to another under pressure.

Hydro samples tasted fantastic. Very clear and great hop aroma and low / moderate bitterness. Beer was at 3oC after crash chilling so took a while to warm up.

Kegs hooked up to CO2 and purged again before adding 2 bar (30 psi) pressure.

FG = 1.013 for both beers, so 4.5% ABV.
