Notes: pitch your yeast and start at 60F. That might seem too low, but while you want the alcohol to be slightly noticeable, you need to guard against it being too hot or too strong in flavor, and a cool fermentation will help on both counts. Hold there for a week or so, then raise to the mid-high 60s for another week, ending with a free-rise to wherever it wants to go.
When you’ve had no airlock activity for a week or so, cold-crash and package, shooting for a very modest 1.75-2 volumes of CO2. |

Notes: Mash Notes: Used BIAB method. 60 min rest at sach temp, then 5 to 10 minutes at 170 deg F (constantly stirring), then lifted out grains in bag and squeezed all juices out of bag followed by sparging grain bag with a gallon of hot water (170-176 deg F) and squeezing bag again before removing.
Boil Notes: 120 minute boil to get from 5.5 gal to 4 gal.
- Brew started on 28 March 2020: Volume was just under 4 gallons.
- SG measurement after pitching yeast = 1.054
- First honey addition on 30 March 2020: 2 lbs Honey mixed with water and 1/2 tsp Fermax - addition of 6 and 2/3 cups of volume.
- SG measurement before adding honey = 1.026
- Second honey addition on 2 April 2020: 2 lbs Honey mixed with water and 1/2 tsp Fermax - addition of b/w 6 and 6 and 1/3 cups of volume.
- SG measurement before adding honey = 1.020
- Started fermenting extremely fast after this addition
- Third honey addition on 3 April 2020: 5 lbs Honey mixed with water and 1 tsp Fermax - addition of about 8 cups of volume.
- SG measurement before adding honey = 1.019
- Measurement on 6 April 2020: SG = 1.014
- Measurement on 11 April 2020: SG = 1.011 (possibly a misread)
- racked brew to a smaller carboy (6.5 gal to 5 gal)
- Additions on 30 April 2020: Dry hopped with about 1/2 cup El Doraldo pellets and pitched the K1-V1116 yeast
- SG measurement before additions = 1.012
- Taste test: a bit too malt heavy - added the El Doraldo hops to balance out the sweetness
- Pitched the K1-V1116 yeast in an attempt to process the leftover maltose and maltotriose (source of reasoning: https://byo.com/article/brewing-with-wine-yeast/)
- Not sure if the K1-V1116 actually processed any of the remaining maltose/maltotriose since the SG did not go down any more after pitching it.
- Notes on 12 May 2020:
- SG measurement = 1.012
- Taste test = slightly malty, slightly sour but not overly so.
- Bottled on 25 May 2020: Added a mixture of corn sugar and cane sugar boiled in water to fermentation bucket, then siphoned wort/beer from carboy to the bucket and lightly swirled to mix before bottling.
- 42 bottles stored in dark closet with temperatures ranging from 64 deg F to 79 deg F.
- Plus 3 bottles reserved for early tasting stored in dark cabinet above fridge (last 3 bottled, so likely to have higher yeast content).
- First tasting at 2 weeks on 8 June 2020:
- Look: Hazy, little head retention, lots of bubbles
- Smell: Grapefruit and hops, tangy, citrus
- Taste: a little sour/bitter, but not too much, a little apple-like
- Mouthfeel: Crisp, but with full body
- Overall impression: Tastes like a bitter cider
- Chalky flavor still present, but should go away as it ages.
- Sharp honey flavors still need to mellow out more.
- Second tasting at 3 weeks on 15 June 2020:
- Look: Hazy with a small amount of head
- Smell: Apple and citrus with hop notes
- Taste: Sharp, apple, slight bitterness (another person said it tasted medicinal - it did not taste that way to me, though)
- Feel: crisp and thick
- Overall impression: still a bitter cider
- less chalky flavor, but still present
- still sharp - raw honey needs to mellow out more
- Definitely not ready yet. This will probably take at least another month of conditioning.
- Next tasting will be between 4 and 6 weeks

| Notes: The Chai Spiced Amber Ale is a unique and flavorful beer that combines the rich flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, cardamom, and ginger with the sweetness and body of an amber ale. The Fuggles hops provide a subtle bitterness and earthy flavor, while the honey contributes to the sweetness and smoothness of the beer. This beer should be enjoyable to those who appreciate a spicy and complex beer with a smooth finish. |
