Notes: Ferment at 69 to 70F. During boil I use a Steam Slayer with lid on so 1 gallon will boil off in 90 minutes. Will use 2.6L starter because I can and high gravity. Belgian Candi sugar light is home made.

Notes: Can use Mangrove Jack M44 West Coast yeast - WY1764 is hard to obtain. I adjusted for M44 - I dont like liquid yeasts and I have M44 on hand.

I changed the German Munich for Carastan. The mouthfeel is there, I used some 20L Caramel Vienne and a little melanoiden...it's nice...so close. I'd bump the bittering on this also.

I enjoy Dead Guy every week. For a twist you can also age it on wood chips soaked in Bourbon...I recommend Elijah Craig. There is a commercial version of this - the fabled Dead N Dead, but you would need Rogue Spirits Dead Guy for that one.

This is a Maibock that it powered up with a strong dose of hops...try it, it is easy to drink and share.

Notes: ===============================

TLDR; next time try different yeast or higher fermentation temp; pull oak cubes and bottle once its tasting great. consider oak aging in keg and natural carbonation so you get the yeast in the bottle.

Scored 33 but no medal in MALT Turkeyshoot.

My opinion : This peaked before I bottled it. It was tasting so good at one point, it was kinda hazy too, smooth and complex. By time I bottled it it has become super clear, overly rum oakey and too sweet, cloying and boozy, syrupy almost. There was oak cubes in the keg which could have done it but otherwise the beer changed a lot over the course of the year.

From the judges : basically they wanted more belgian yeastey character, I could agree with that. Could maybe try a different yeast or ferment hotter, I think the safale belgian is kind on the clean side and maybe too flocculant. One judge said not enough oak and rum but the other said lots of it.

Brew night on new digiboil better efficiency and boil off. Took too much volume couldve done less for higher OG. Next time.

5 years later finally dusting this recipe off for production.

adjusting for efficiency. adding DME. using cane sugar instead of candi. adding more malt.

using warrior for bittering. adding some hallertau at end of boil because why not.

probably going to be using reused s-33 from a previous batch.

this batch likely going into a bourbon barrel. again, because why not. it will probably be darkened quite a bit since the barrel has had stout and barleywine in it previously.

===============================

initial recipe creation notes:
* choosing simple grain bill from NB's version because thats my style. they had belgian pale which i subbed for 2row but then changed my mind and went with a pilsner munich mix.
* changed from 2lb 180 to 2lb 90 to reduce the calculated color to within the bjcp range
* many recipes on aha were using magnum so i used the minimal of that to get into bjcp range
* using one full pack of rva hopefully dont have to make substitutions. some options are
** 1338 belgian strong ale
** 3787 trappist style high gravity (<-- used this for tripel play in 2019, possibly reuse for 2020 tripel andor dubbel)
** 1762 belgian abbey ii
* going to mash at 148 for 60. cb&b suggests 90 min mash at low temp. ill take the low temp but im pretty good at reaching low FG so ill stick with 60 mins

note that there appears to be some back and forth about the definition of quad and belgian dark strong ale . brewers association has them as two separate styles however bjcp does not have quad. it has been said that quad should be a subcategory of BDSA, and also that quad refers to certain specific BDSA beers such as westy 12. indeed the base recipe referenced below from northern brewer appears to be a westy 12 clone. also of note is that rochefort 8 is considered BDSA while rochefort 10 is considered a quad.

here is Ryan's recipe for Tin Tin's Magic Elixir :
15lb: 2-row*
3lb: Munich
0.5lb: Classic Wheat
1lb: Aromatic
1lb: Cara Munich
1lb: Special "B"
0.5lb: Melanoidin
-----
1lb: Dark Candi Sugar**
-----
Hallertau Hops (4%) for 60 minutes
---
WLP545***

*Probably a sin but I changed this from Pils Malt.
**Recipe I found online had "cane sugar." I just like the taste of the Dark Candi Sugar better. Smarter people than me can argue that there is no difference but seems to add a little something IMHO.
*** I wanted to do one of the two RVA Trappist but they were out when I bought my recipe.

Notes: All grains and pumpkin go in the mash. If the pumpkin is in the boil you will most likely lose a gallon of water, and have a tough time straining the pumpkin out.

If you really want to put the pumpkin into the boil then you should use a grain bag or filter the wort before racking to your primary.

The pumpkin should be cleaned and cut into small cubes and baked for 45 mins at 350, then mashed and coated with honey. Then baked for another 45 mins at 350. Let it cool to 154 and add to mash.

For the vanilla bean vodka solution, two vanilla beans are cut in half. The seeds and goodies are then scraped into 4oz of vodka. Let the vodka sit for two weeks.
