Notes: Brewed on 9/1/2013. Strike water was 174 and hit right about 155F. Left for 10min and then recirculated about a gallon through to distribute evenly with preheated pyrex glass. The temp dropped it down to about 152F so I topped off with half gallon of boiling water which brought it to 153F. Stopped there because I didn't want to thin out the mash even more. I will have to figure out a way to prevent heat loss when recirculating. pH was 5.3 with the slightly thinned mash. Boil Kettle efficiency was 80%. Brew house efficiency was down this time. I am not sure why that would be but maybe it's because I had some wort left over in the kettle and thus didn't boil off enough. I did get my full wort volume without having to top off. I wonder if I should boil 8.25 gal in the future? Some hose water also got into the brew because I wasn't paying attention well enough to my hose attachments. Yeast took off within 8 hours. I looked at it and krausen has formed about 8 hours after. Temp was about 73F so I cooled it down to 68 as quickly as I could. It was about the same temp in the morning. I dropped some of the ice blocks in there in the middle of the night. At about mid afternoon on 9/2 it was at 66F. By the evening time it had climbed back up to 71F so I put some more ice packs in there and cooled it back down to 67F. I got a new tub insulator cover but I am not sure if it is actually doing all that much. I am hoping it isn't getting too crazy because of the temp fluctuation. Morning of 9/3 the beer had risen back up to 70F. I iced it back down to 68. I am wondering if the insulation is keeping the heat in too. Evening of 9/3 it had risen back up to 70F. Iced it down to about 67/68. 9/4 by morning the brew had creeped up to 70F again. I chilled it down to 68F. By evening it was back up to 70F so I dropped it to 67F. 9/5 let the temp go and by 9/7 it was up about 74F. Dry Hopped 9/8/2013. I realized that I swapped the yeast vials and used wlp001 instead of wlp051. Gravity reading on 9/16 put it at 1.014. Racked to keg on 9/18/13 after cold crashing for 2 days.

Notes: Lalvin EC-1118 Champagne Yeast
1 Gallon Apple Cider - 16 (24g Sugar each) Servings
1 campden tablet
1/2 tsp yeast nutrient
1/4 tsp acid blend
1/4 tsp pectic enzyme

If fermentation begins to smell "sulfur-ish" add extra yeast nutrient to carboy.

After 3 weeks in primary activity can still be seen upon close inspection, but it has slowed considerable. Mead is noticeably clearing. Racked to secondary, added 4+ ounces of tart WI cherry juice, 1 chopped green apple, 1 chopped red apple, and 1/2 ounce whiskey. (also added 1/2 tsp yeast nutrient) Secondary for 1-2 months (when mead has cleared it's good for bottling). Bottle conditioned 3.5 volumes

Exp. 2
Used frozen door county apple juice and Orange Blossom Honey. Will be adding 1 lb of frozen tart cherries to secondary in addition to apples. Different yeast used this time; red star "pasteur blanc".

Notes: 1.5 mL hop shot at 60 min.

Add yeast nutrient with 5 min. Amarillo

Split whirlpool into 3 additions (every 10 min once chilled to 170F), stir vigorously each time.

Split dry hop into 3 additions:
1) 48 hr post pitch (10%)
2) with 1 Plato left to ferment (40%)
3) loose keg hop with clear beer system (50%)

BREW DAY 02-SEP-18:
1st whirlpool started at ~173F (10 min)
2nd addition at ~150F (10 min)
3rd addition at ~143F (10 min)

UPDATE 04-SEP-18:
1 oz of dry hop blend added at 6am, gravity was ~1.030 already!

UPDATE 05-SEP-18:
4 oz dry hop blend added at 6am, fermentation is almost over.

UPDATE 07-SEP-18:
Started cold crashing at 32F, will rack to a keg (on 08-SEP-18) mwith 2.5 oz table sugar and the remaining 5 oz dry hops. Allow to warm to RT and naturally carbonate for a week. pH = 4.35 (racked into keg).

Notes: One gallon of treetop juice, add the turbinado and hops. Shake like crazy till its all dissolved. Pitch the yeast, stop it up with airlock wat ten days, then secondary for three weeks. Bottle and condition for three weeks. Enjoy!
