Notes: English Strong Bitter with Centennial hops.
I have swapped out Centennial for Loral or Mosaic with good results, and they have similar bitterness properties.

Yeast: my house ale yeast is Verdant/London III/1318, but S04 will do fine and I've used it multiple times.

Planning to add a yet-to-be-determined quantity of macerated rhubarb to secondary vessel once primary is complete.

8/15/15: It's official, we're bad at wheat beers. To elaborate, we just can't seem to reach our OG or get even a little bit close any time we use more than 30 or 40% wheat in the grist. We'll spare the gory details, but we're gonna want to make a note to dial down efficiency to between 50-65% depending on the percentage and what we're going for. We added some DME to compensate, obviously.

8/29/15: The blowoff assembly on this one stopped bubbling a few days ago. Combined with the krausen fading for the most part, we figured this would end up being just about done. As suspected, it finished at exactly 1.012, and it looks, smells and tastes absolutely awesome from the small hydrometer sample we thieved. This is good because, as one might recall, we sucked really badly at actually brewing this due to poor conversion of wheat using our HERMS system (we got like 45-50% efficiency). We'll eventually figure this out, but we had to toss some DME in to hit target gravity. Anyway, upon tasting this guy, we noticed that the Nelson aroma hopping actually comes through, lending a nice musty white grape funk to the proceedings along with some bright berry notes. We'll probably be adding rhubarb soon, but this one can sit in primary for a little while until we figure out exactly what we're doing. No point racking it to secondary without also adding the rhubarb, really.

____________________________________
First impression:
This did not turn out good. The back end is way to bitter and not balanced and some really strong coffee and roast tastes that don't sit well with me. Considering dumping it.

Notes: Batch size: 3.4G
Grain Bill: 8lbs
Boil time: 60 mins
Trub Loss: 0.2G
Mash Thickness: 1.5 qts/lbs
Target mash temp: 152

Wort Shrinkage: 4%
Grain Absorption: 0.13 gal/lbs
% Boiloff: 10%

Total water needed: 5.14G
Mash: 2.66G
Sparge: 2.55G
Strike temp: 164.33F
Pre-boil wort: 4.17G

1. Start with strike water of 10.1L (2.66G) @ 164.33F.
2. Put in 8 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 152F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.62G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 9.7L (2.55G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.51G of pre-boil wort.

Took twenty minutes to get to 164F. Didn't drop below 160. 158 after 5 minutes. 155 after 10 minutes. 150 after 50 minutes.

Shit, forgot to add 0.25 lbs of flaked wheats.

Hydrometer is reading 1.04 in water.

Took 25 minutes to boil.

Ended up with 4.6 gallons of pre-boil wort... Hydrometer reads 1.04 @ 118F = 1.048...way below my target OG. If I drop 4 points, its actually 1.044. If 1.044 with 4.7 gallons of PB wort, then efficiency is 75.5%, not bad. Will add 0.75 lbs of corn sugar @ 15 minutes to bump OG.

52 minutes after boil to get to 80F with ice bath.

Now have 1.070 OG with 4.0 gallons of beer! I guess its more like 1.066 based on calibration... That is 77% efficiency!

6 days after pitching, FG is at 1.020 - two gravity points higher than expected. 72% attenuation versus 70%, not so bad. Started to dry hop with 2 oz.

Bottle Carbonation: 2.4 Volumes of C02. 2.9 oz of corn sugar with a cup of boiled water for 3.5 gallons.

First taste on November 13, 2014 - 15 days after bottling. App: completely opaque. Decent head if poured right into clean glass. Aroma: fruity and grassy notes. Taste: Bitter and dry. Fruity. MF: high carbonation. Light-medium body. Overall: really good! even after two weeks in the bottles.

Description: Find the lightness in this deep, dark beer. While it may be completely opaque, reminiscent of a black hole, the aroma and taste will remind you a beautiful nebula, similar to that of an IPA with a dry bitterness coupled with fruity and grassy hoppy notes. Not for the faint of heart. Drink if you dare. 6.1% abv, 50 IBUs.

Tasting on november 25: off-white head that fades quickly. Extremely black with hoppy, dry taste and bitter aftertaste.
