| 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: 8 L starter. May need some WLP 099 to finish it off?
When buying grains, divide 1/2 & 1/2 while weighing.
Use reiterative mashing for this recipe:
1) Mash in first half at 113 F for 30 minutes in 21.5 gallons.
1A) Adjust mash pH to 5.4 with phosphoric acid.
1B) Increase to @ 148 F for 30 min.
2) Raise bag and "sparge" w/ 3 gallons (cold).
2A) Remove grains.
3) Replace bag & add other half of grains.
3A) Adjust mash pH to 5.4 with phosphoric acid.
4) Mash in at 113 F (setpoint) for 30 minutes.
4) Raise for 30 minutes @ 140 F.
5) Raise for 30 minutes to 154 F for debranching.
6) Raise to 170 F before final "sparge" - 5 gallons.
Preparing pecans:
Start with chopped pecans... Toast pecans 15 minutes at 300 F, cover with paper towels, roll with rolling pin, repeat for 4 roasts.
Soak oak cubes in Bourbon 3 days prior to addition.
Adjust mash pH to 5.4 with phosphoric acid. Add salts to RO water as described:
For brewers who are looking for an “easy button” with RO water, use 4 grams (approximately one teaspoon) of calcium chloride for each 5 gallons of brewing water. For hoppy beers, add 7 grams of gypsum to your brewing water with the calcium chloride. |

Notes: This is an easy recipe to make a solid wort for a Gueuze/Lambic wort. The fun is to brew this every year. The Belgian sour mix from White Labs will do a good job getting the flavors For the style picked. Each home brewers home will create its own "house character". Once you add this to your brewing schedule you will look forward to brewing this beer every year.
A fifteenth minute boil is all you need to sanitize the wort and get some IBU's into the wort. It is the aging the beer that will challenge you!
Maltodextrin will be food for the bugs after the fermentable sugars are gone.

Notes: use distilled water or 50/50, I use a double carbon filter
at 2 minutes whirlpool until the temp reaches 190 then chill thats just to get the cascade to barely hide the some of the strong malt biscuit flavor
you can use victory instead of biscuit, will taste the same
I ended up filtering this with a 5/1 micron filter to get a very clean light but slightly malty drinking beer just for hot days you don't want to get too tired.
the flavor will mellow down after about 1 to 2 weeks of conditioning with virtually no hop flavor but has a perfect balance and very drinkable
now in order to get the high malt and biscuit flavor you will need to steep accordingly
mill your gains fine with at least 10% flower, start your water cold, add your steeping bag then slowly heat the pot up to 155, leave it at 155 for 20 minutes dunking and bobbing at least 4 times then drain after time is up and add the DME, stir hard to get the DME dissolved while heating up to the boil, add the bittering hops then after the hot break your set :)
