Notes: ==================================
8/3/2020
brewing this again tonight. changed yeast from wy1056 to omega hothead. last batch got crazy attenuation, so adjusting that down to something more reasonable for now. using recycled yeast.
UPDATE: OOPS!! never ordered willamette hops. did not realize until boil started and i couldnt find the hops. arranging for 45 minuts of warrior and then will use some spare crystal for flavoring. they smell pretty hoppy. but its only an oz. we will see.
original recipe here : https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/868420/one-way-or-another-blonde-ale
==================================
6/1/2020
it really has turned a corner after a couple weeks - at first it was fruity and cloyingly sweet but now it seems drier, cleaner, and definitely clearer. it almost tastes like a lager. i cant stop sippin it! probably could try brewing it down to 4.5 or 5%
==================================
5/14/2020
Fg 1.0025. Is that even possible.
==================================
5/2/2020: brewed this tonight. changed the recipe to take a full oz at 15 min instead of 0.5. just so i dont have a half oz bag floating around for 6 more years. adjusted recipe for OG (was 1048, now 1045) and efficiency (69->65); more explanation on that below.
tried recirculation / vorlauf . not a really defined or repeatable pattern but the wort looked pretty clear during cooling. first runnings i actually took after recirculation was still pretty hazy, 2nd runnings looked clearer but the photos and videos make them look the same. also towards the end i had to tip the mash tun to get everything out, that came out hazy. probably rather want to heat up more sparge water so i can keep sparging without tipping until i have enough wort. came out with 4.5 gallons. original OG was 1048 but i was at 1050, tried to top up without overshooting it but i did, final OG was 1050 on about 5 gallons.
==================================
12/13/19 : never got the brewers gold in the mail. many recipes im browsing use williamette so lets go with that. previous "blonde" and many online do no late additions but i cant help it. maybe should reconsider.
BYO also suggests you can use Glacier, U.S. Fuggle, U.S. Tettnang or Styrian Goldings as alternatives.
==================================
9/5/19: changing out cluster for brewers gold - should be getting some free in the mail soon....lowering IBU to under 20. abv is high for style but oh well :-)
==================================
8/15/19: reformulating this one with 2row instead of british; dropping the honey malt for lighter less crazy crystal malt. everything else the same. hopefully a lot lighter color, get rid of honey malt flavor for cleaner plainer more classic blonde ale flavors...
==================================
8/14/19:
first couple pints are not so great. first of all, the beer is really really deep golden. i wonder if oxidized but i vaguely remember the color being too dark during mash. i suppose honey malt is darker than i thought. second, the beer just isnt great, really way too sweet, needs more balance. partially i cant get past the ugly color. im reading now that people typically use 2-4% honey malt, i used 6. next time may use just a tiny bit if any, will try some other lighter crystal malt to try to achieve more appropriate FG. this one fermented way down to 1.005 or something like that
==================================
7/29/19 :
decided to rebrew this, it was good. im having issues with final gravity either because of my mash or the yeast, so im adding some honey malt. i also switched to golden promise this time (just because of an inventory opportunity to use something new). i am planning to mash 150 again but maybe for only 30 minutes with the crystal malt and yeast to see if the FG comes out really low again. i suppose i should probably only change one thing at a time. will decide on brew day i guess. also i would like to cold crash this thing for a week or more to really try to get it clear from the first pour.
============================================
The Brain : originally was supposed to be a cream ale except with 100% 2 row malt instead of using sugar to supplement. With the wy 1272 it came out fruity and hazy so i called it summer ale. after a while though the haze settled and it was kind of malty clean and clear, i started calling it blonde ale. |

Notes: 5/1/23-Grain was smoked about a 1 1/2years prior, dried and refrigerated. Switching to Meridian hops. Using yeast cake from Red Rye IPA, so S-05, oak chips and hops in fermenter. Water Mods: 2g Gypsum, 1g Epsom, 1g CaCl, 10g Chalk, 2g Baking Soda, 1ml Acid Sparge. Forgot to stir minerals, so sledge left behind.
6/12/21-Bottling off keg. Next time, add 1 more oz. EKG at 15 and at WP, ~40-45 IBU.
5/22/21-Kegged.
5/15/21-Finally brewing this up according to the new recipe with the new equipment. Lost 1/2G to the boil, lost maybe another 1 1/2G to grain, drips, hose changes, pump, etc. Learned a lot. 6 hours including clean-up. Fermenting with a toasted oak stick. Kegged on 5/22/21, tasted on 6/8/21-lightly smoky, roasty, sweet smelling, but dry in the mouth. Excellent! Do this again, just like this!
1/1/21-Smoked the malt for the next porter. Aging in the fridge.
12/28/2020-1st time AG. I will smoke the dark malts and this time I get to grind them in a proper malt mill. I will check PH, but I might need to add some baking soda. I am hoping for a higher temp on the mash for more body. The smoke was off and on in the previous batch, but it was well-received.
**Wanted to recreate a traditional wood-fired malt kiln flavor. Smoked wort 1-2 weeks earlier than brew day over Irish whiskey soaked oak chips. Dried grain in low oven. But it didn’t dry as well as I wanted, so I kept the grain refrigerated until brew day. Crushed grain by food processor. Couldn't take wet grain back to the LHBS for grinding (yeah, I need a home grain crusher). Mashed at 145 +/- ( Strike Water 3Q./165F, I need a mash tun that will hold temp) for 1 hour. Batch Sparged with 1 1/4G 180F Water. Ok, so the 23 ounces of Dark LME is a lie. I transferred to secondary my Barley Wine (12-14%, IBU 70-100, SRM 40) after only 1 week of fermentation. Apparently, I had more than 5 gallons to transfer (Thank You, Trustworthy Brewing in Burbank, CA and the Long Beach Home Brew Club and Strand Brewers Club!) so I made a 2 gallon boil of this porter, with the expectation that I would add 1 gallon of spring water; AND...2/3-3/4 of that gallon is half-fermented Barley Wine. Bottled 12/8/18 (19 Pints): delicious toasty coffee flavor, the smoke did not come through, though it showed up at different points in the aging process. |
