Notes: This is a clone of Sexual Chocolate by Foothills Brewing Co., as found on TastyBrew.com blog (http://www.tastybrew.com/forum/thread/154676); as the finalized with a few tweeks to the recipe.
1: The blog said to NOT add cocoa powder after trial due to graininess in the final beer and the need to chill and re-rack, but he used 6 oz at secondary, dry. I shall use 3 oz, mixed with 6 oz boiled water that will hopefully moisten the cocoa and reduce graininess in the final product and encourage settling during secondary.
2. I'm going to use homemade chocolate syrup in place of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Syrup at kegging.
3. My Homebrew Supply Store did not sell Wyeast anymore; so while the original recipe uses Denny's Favorite 50, the closest strain by White Labs is California V. So, we'll see how this goes! |

Notes: 1) New Kegco 6 gallon - Started with 5 gallons of spring water and added minerals. Mash landed at 151 after putting in the bag from a strike temp of 158. The mash then fell to 147 towards then end. Had some issues with the thermometer (digital) so I'll be replacing it with a dial thermometer.
PH - 5.4
2) Boil was uneventful, hopped as planned, immersion chilled to 160 to hopstand. After 30 mins, continued chilling and transferred 3 gallons to my fermenter.
OG - 1.060 - missed by a lot. Maybe just the new equipment, too much starting water, or temp issues. Pretty sure because i started with too much water, so I now I have a better idea of boil off. I lowered my efficiency in the recipe to reflect.
3) Put in temp controlled chamber and stabilized at 67 before aerating for 30 mins and pitching sanitized yeast packet. 48 hours in and fermentation is going strong.
4) Fermentation slowing at 4 days in, added first dry hop charge and pulled a sample. I get lots of awesome fruit flavors and a little bit of alcohol/yeast flavor with should clear up after full attenuation. Really looking forward to this one.
Gravity: 1.010 - lower than expected even with updating to show starting efficiency.
5) Transferred to Keg at 7 days, over 2nd dry-hop, and finished fermentation under pressure at 10psi.
6) At 10 days, I force carbonated at 30 psi for about 12 hours, then lowered to serving pressure for about a week.
7) Overall, the beer is decent but definitely very thin considering the low starting gravity. I also finished very low at 1.008. Another issue I've consistently noticed is that, despite using different hops, my beers all taste really similar. I think this may be yeast temp and I'm getting a lot of the fruity esters overtaking my hops. Next time I'll try a lower ferm temp. |

Notes: A crisp, sparkling and refreshing beer that will satisfy your most hard-earned thirst. Light in color and body, the flavor is punctuated with an assertive clean finish. An extremely drinkable beer and a true American microbrewery favorite!
-Mr.Beer
First pour of the West Coast Pale Ale came out with less carbonation than I hoped due to serving temperature. For a while I thought I was a victim of "Chill Haze" but after referance found out that this is it's proper Hue. Taste wasn't too shabby, I also expected way less. Compared to a Less Citric Blue Moon with a much dryer finish. Not bad for my first Home Brew. |

Notes: If you have the right equipment with temp control, you may consider a step mash for optimal conversion.
I will do a no-batch using only my 1st runnings of sweet wort, but
but if you mash tun isn't large enough consider a 'double brew' where you split the grain in half and water. Drain your 1st running into boil kettle, then drain your second runnings into a bucket, clean out your grains from the mash tun, add the second half of your grains to the mash with with the second runnings from your first batch as the mash water. Be sure to properly reheat the wort/strike water before add the grain. When second mash is complete combine those 1st running into boil kettle with your other wort to being boil.
Once primary fermentation is complete (~3-6 days), rack into secondary fermentor, then add the Blueberry Puree to the secondary to ensure it mixes well. Leave it in the secondary for at least 2 weeks before bottling or racking to a keg.
Consider bottle or keg condition for up to 3 months for best results. |

Notes: On brew day, mash in at 155F in 14qts of water. Hold at this temp for 60 mins. Raise mash temp to 170F hold for 5 mins then recirculate. Run off wort and sparge with water hot enough to keep the grain bed around 170F. Collect 6.5 gallons of wort. (Check the final runnings do not drop below SG 1.010) Boil wort for 90 minutes, adding hops at times indicated. Ferment at 68F |
