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: Ved flasking tas 1 dl øl og tilsettes X ganger 0.5 ml mintvodka med pipette til ønsket smak er oppnådd. Så tilsettes etter skalering til fat før flasking.
Mintvodka lages ved å la peppermynteteposer trekke i vodka i en uke. Forhåpentligvis holder 0.5 liter vodka og 20 poser.

Notes: primary ferment at 52F.

raise temp to 67 for 4-6 days for diaceytl rest.

lower temp to 37F and lager for 4-8 weeks.

carbonate in fresh keg.

add lime at kegging/carbonation. (18 grams/1 pack in each keg) - after brewing this several times, 18g of the crystallized lime is HEAVY. It’s drinkable if you love lime. But moving forward, probably only adding 9-10 grams per 5 gallon brew.

mash for 90, boil for 75.
I’ve brewed this beer twice, so far. First as a 5 gal, then a 10.
In the first brew, the yeast stalled, I think I under-pitched, so the abv was way low.
In the second, 10 gallon brew, there was clear channeling in the mash tun around the sides, and the OG was lower than expected.

Third time is a charm! - Third brew went very well, no channeling, crystal clear lautering, good mash efficiency (91%). Healthy starter, expect good fermentation.

This third iteration of brew was entered in a brewery competition in Lexington VA - Heliotrope Brewery, and took SECOND place. (Fall 2024).

Made a few updates for annual brew #4, updated 2 row to 6 row malt, added carapils. Also, subbed out some hop varieties. Liberty, for bittering, for obvious reasons, and some Citra at flameout to hope for more depth in the citrus (lime) flavor. Adjusted to try to hit around 4.5% abv, 17.5 IBU.
