Notes: Brewed 7/20/14. Strike water was 174F and it was about 152F. Recirculated about a gallon and a half down to 150F. I added 1lb rice hulls because when recirculating it got a bit stuck. I adjusted my mill gap recently so that might be a factor. Ph reading was 5.2 which was what was supposed to be predicted. Mash was very thick and could have maybe used more water. Vorlaugh was a bit slow maybe due to a lot of grains. Sparge was under by about a half gallon so I heated a half gallon more and sparged with that. Boil OG was 1.068 which puts the kettle efficiency at 73% which is a bit low. I believe I actually had about 8.75 or 9 gal pre-boil which probably wasn't that good. Efficiency was way down again. I didn't boil off enough so maybe that is why. Had about a half gallon extra in the boil. The huge drop in efficiency might be because of that. Pitch was about 72F and I cooled it to drop it a bit more. Ended up being about 64F and fermentation. 7/21 morning, fermentation has started and is sitting at about 65F. By evening it had drifted up to 69F so I cooled it back to 66F. I also added 6oz of turbinado to kick the OG and alcohol up a bit more. 7/22 the brew heated up to about 70F by morning so I cooled it down to about 66F. Might have cooled down lower than 66F, but by night time it was at 67F. 7/23 morning the brew had heated up to 70F cooled it to 68F. Was still sitting at 68F by evening. 7/24 out of swamp today, temp about 71F. It finished fermenting at about 75F as it has been quite hot. Took a gravity reading on 8/20/14. Fermented a bit more than expected but it tastes awesome. FG is a bit lower than I wanted but we shall see how the body holds up with a bit of age and carbonation. Prolly from the extra sugar. Kegged 8/22/14. Force carbed it and bottled all of it on 2/3/15, bottle code RS3. Beer had a very nice coffee and dark chocolate notes. Very smooth and balanced with a nice body despite it fermenting down more than desired.

Notes: Easy if you have temp control, that is.
For a Doppelbock, I add 3lbs of Pilsner and boil the Saaz for 15.
You could brew this as an ale with 1056/US05 if you keep it on the cooler side and double pitch.

Notes: Mashed with 5.5 gallons at 152 degrees for 60 minutes.
Sparged grains with 2 gallons of heated water to reach 7.5 gallons.
Pre-boil gravity was 10.51-1.052.
Increased boil time from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. Probably could have gotten away with around 75 minutes. My target fermenter volume should have been 5.5 gallons, but ended up being slightly less once the wort cooled.
Post-boil gravity was 1.066.
Cooled wort with immersion chiller down to 51 degrees in 24 minutes. Ambient temperature outside was roughly 41 degrees.
The color of the cooled wort is gorgeous.
The beer fermented for almost 7 days at a temperature ranging between 55-58 degrees. Days 2-6 were the most vigorous.
Sampled beer on day 7 and the gravity was 1.017!
Starting diacetyl rest on day 7 slowly taking beer up to 68 degrees.

Notes: A rye amber ale for Steve at Barismo.

Several new techniques are being attempted with this one, even though it's not really for us. First off, we milled the rye separately and are allowing it to kind of "pre-convert" for 15 minutes, then adding the rest of the grain. and striking in as normal with a traditional protein rest schedule. The second thing we're trying is a whirlpool hop stage at flame-out.

3/1/15: Brewed this today. Went off pretty well, no real major hangups despite introducing a couple new techniques. No idea if either is going to have an appreciable influence on the finished beer, but we'll have to see. Hit our OG spot-on and it seems like it's going to ferment perfectly well. More updates soon.

3/8/15: Thiefed sample for gravity reading and tasting. Nailed the FG - 1.012, attenuation only 1pt better than anticipated. Final abv should be 4.99%. Pre-conditioning tasting notes:
Subtle, quaffable. Solid stylepiece highlighting balance almost to a flaw; mild malt breadiness, just enough hops, could use a bit more. I think our cascade being lower AA than anticipated cost us a few ibus. Drinks like a commercial amber without the nasty adjunct taste of stale corn. Would crush this on a summer's day. Going to carb heavy to add mouthfeel and hopefully make the beer more interesting.

3-22-15: Bottled into 12oz bottles. Added .75 cups corn sugar to prime. Pipetted 2mL of yeast into each bottle. Yielded exactly 48 bottles, and one bomber which will be ours.
