| Notes: Mash start ended up being about 151F. I added half the dark grains at the beginning of the mash and half 30min in to avoid extracting tannins. Forgot to test the temp before I mashed out but the grain bed was at about 147. The mash out of about 2.75 gallons brought it up to about 167F. Added and extra half gallon to the sparge to make up for liquid loss. |

Notes: whatever is left in the cupboard and can be thrown together as a one gallon starter batch to create a nice yeast cake.
1/11: tasted a carbonated sample - awesome balance and habanero on the nose, then slight burn after swallowing. |

OG 1038 | FG 1009 | c.3.8% ABV | 30–32 IBU | 27 EBC
Pale malt 89%
Enzymic (acid?) malt 1%
Crystal malt (variable, for colour) 4.5%
Malt extract (in mash) 3%
Invert 3 (sugar, in boil) 2.5%
Hops – Fuggles (70%) Goldings (30%) to achieve 30–32 IBU. (Manual prescribes a blend of different growths to help maintain a consistent palate across batches.)
Water (all water used in the process) – 40 grains per gallon sulphates; 35 grains per gallon chlorides.
MASH at 158F (70c) for 1.5hrs; 1st sparge 175F (79.5c); 2nd sparge 160F (71c).
BOIL for 1h45m, with Invert 3 sugar, Irish Moss (1lb per 100 barrels – so, a teaspoon…) and Fuggles at 1h45m; Goldings at 15m.
Pitch yeast at 60F (15.5c) – Mortlake 114, or a blend of 114 and 118, in case you happen to have any handy; alternatively, a fairly neutral English ale yeast is probably best.
During fermentation, keep temperature below 69F (20.5c).
Warm condition for 8–12 days with dry hops (Goldings) at rate of 1oz per barrel (0.8g per gallon, we think); or use hop extract to achieve the equivalent. Add caramel at this stage if colour is off.
Prime with ‘liquid candy’ (sugar syrup?) to achieve 1.45 vols CO2 in final container. |

From the web site:
"Le concept de Moralité peut donner lieu à diverses interprétations. Au Québec, il a un lien historique avec l’alcool. Chose certaine, cette bière est brassée avec une quantité immorale de houblon provenant d’un savant mélange de Simcoe, Citra et Centennial. Il en résulte une finale sèche, aromatique et légèrement résineuse, évoquant les fruits tropicaux et laissant apparaître une amertume tranchante. Collaboration avec John Kimmich de la brasserie « The Alchemist » du Vermont." |

Notes: The original Recipe calls for 4.75lb's of each malt however I upped it to 5lb's each since it'll be cheaper at my LHBS. A bit more ABV but that's never a bad thing.
4/15/19 10ml of Lemonade concentrate added to a pint is the equivalent of one 12oz can of lemonade concentrate for 5 gallons. Going to try it when making a wheat ale. |

Notes: First off, you'll notice that I calculated this Barleywine at 52% brewhouse efficiency. The first time I brewed this recipe, I calculated it at 60% (I had never attempted anything like this before), but only got 52%. If you're using a cooler mash tun, you're going to want to pick up another cooler and split the mash between the two. If you do so, recalculate your efficiency accordingly.
Don't go with the standard 1.5 qt/lb water/grain ratio with this one. This is meant to be a chewy beer, so we're gonna go with 1 qt/lb in the mash. We'll do a full hour at 144°F to make sure the beta-amylase is happy. Still want some palatable malty sweetness, so raise it up to 158°F for 25 minutes and let the alpha enzymes do their thing. Mash out at 168°F.
Don't rush any of the processes or cut back on any expenses when you brew this beer. If you're going to attempt something like this, go hard or go home. Water chemistry, pH stabilizers, yeast nutrient, etc.; she deserves it all!
Note the 2-hour boil time.
The best way to ferment this is by collecting the yeast from a previous batch. You'll have a significantly higher cell count.
If this is your first time brewing this, you'll want to make two 2 Liter starters with the White Labs WLP099 Super High Gravity Ale Yeast. It's an English Ale that has fruity notes that shine through better at higher gravity points, so have fun with it.
*Pro-Tip: Make your second starter out of the boiling wort and dilute it down to 1.040 SG. It'll make the starter environment closer to the one you're pitching into*
Pitch the first starter slurry at 65°F after you aerate the crap out of the wort. For you carboy-shakers, that means 5 minutes of vigorous shaking. If you're worried about over-oxygenating your wort (which is pretty hard to do with a brew of this size), use the olive oil method by dipping the tip of a sanitized sewing pin into olive oil and stirring it into the chilled wort.
After 48 hours, hit this bad boy with another dose of oxygen to ensure maximum yeast reproduction and full attenuation (if you used the olive oil method, skip that step), then immediately pitch the second starter slurry (still at 65°F).
*Note: It's important to yell "SEND IN THE CALVARY!!!" when you pitch your second starter*
After primary fermentation starts to slow down a bit, melt 4 lbs of dextrose down into a simple syrup/caramel (DON'T BURN IT!), then pitch directly into the fermenter. You don't want to use too much water to make the syrup. Don't add the sugar at flame-out (like many recipes call for), because you want the yeast to chew through the maltose first, then let it get to the simple sugars. If you pitch the yeast after the dextrose, it will chew through the simple sugars first, and then be too tired to get through all of the maltose.
Primary fermentation at 65°F for 3-5 weeks. In the old days, the English Barleywine brewers would roll the barrels around the courtyard after primary fermentation to rouse the yeast. I like to go by tradition, so shaking the carboy at around the 4 week mark should do the trick. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! After rousing the yeast on my first batch, I saw a significant increase in activity over the next few days. Once you're sure primary activity is done, go ahead and move onto secondary fermentation. Make sure you save that yeast for another batch!
Secondary fermentation at at 68-69°F for 2-6 months (use a CO2 blanket if you want to be safe)
If you're bottling, use a priming solution made of 3.5 oz of priming sugar for a 5 gallon batch. Pitch this solution along with another 1/2 package of WLP099.
Give this beer a few months to condition before preliminary tasting. Don't babysit; let the yeast do the work for you. Trust me, you'll reap the rewards in the end.
Save a few bottles by cellaring at 55°F (lay the bottles on the side). Try to plan it out so that you open one bottle each year for the next 10 years, and watch the flavors develop. Save them for a special occasion (birthday, anniversary, your biannual air filter changing, etc.)
Happy Brewing and Cheers! |
