Water used has a very high HCO3:
Mash pH: (80% lactic acid)
- pH at start before cereal 6.9
- At 10 min protein rest pH 6.2 (add 5ml lactic acid)
- At 5 min sacharification pH 5.85 (add 5ml lactic acid)
- At 30 min sacharification pH 5.71 (add 10ml lactic acid)
- At 40 min sacharification pH 5.36 (add 3ml lactic acid)
Added 20ml of lactic acid to the sparge water. Equivalent to what I added to the mash.
Final pH 5.25
Bottle priming:
Target 3.5 to 4 vols using dextrose and batch priming
at 10C 200g of dextrose disolve in 100ml.
340g of dextrose in 400ml of water solution should be more than enough water, boil, and let it cool down before prime batch.

Notes: CONSIDER DROPPING ABV TO 7%. TAKE 4 LITRES AND FERMENT WITH DIFFERENT SAISON YEAST PLUS INNOCULATE
Added for last 5min of boil - 4-5g each of homegrown sage, thyme and rosemary (to 10 litre batch)
Brewed and cooled on outside shelf of brewshed. Dust from road mitigated somewhat by covering top of kettle with wet (sanitized) towel.
Recovered 9.5 litres into plastic fermenter (had been sanitized with extra strong iodine after having starsan in it for a few weeks. Rinsed with starsan ... and left a lot of foam in fermenter before adding the wort and yeast). Used around 30 sec of pure o2. Cooled wort to around 25C - warm day here.
Kept in wardrobe (`18oC ambient). Rapid fermentation. Transferred after 6d to ferm chamber in brewshed to raise temp to 23oC for a few days to 'dry it out' ... now shows 93% attenuation! Aroma is great at start of crash cool ... flavour will benefit from sedimentation.
Put together a few comp bottles, after only 8d fermentation. Will likely get a lot of sediment over the two weeks whilst they wait (entered one into saison, other into herb beer).
All hops had been added to spider - utlization may not have been as high as shown (ie IBU may be much lower.
Note that I may have had some water leak from the hx into the boil kettle during chilling. Was v slow chill because of shallow volume (<half of the chiller was in the wort)
Tasted good after 2wks. Crash cooled over ~6h, down to ~10oC (rushed cos I needed the fridge for next batch, wee heavy; note that i also rushed this step because of O2 concerns ... I attempted to take a sample when, unknowningly, the fermenter had droped to negative pressure and sucked through some air through the outlet tap ... percolated through the wort). Added 49g belgian candi sugar to the fermenter aiming for 3.2vol CO2. Got around 15 bottles. |

Primed 5 gallons at 50 degrees with 3.2 oz. corn Sugar for 2.55 volumes CO2. (if 60 degrees, 2.35 volumes; if 45 degrees, 2.7 volumes)
Got some aroma of fresh apples. Could be cleaned up in bottle conditioning. Could be caused by unfinished ferm/yeast health/aeration or O2 in beer during dry hopping.
12/14 1.015, final dry hop 3 oz (short 1 Oz Mosaic) purged with CO2 cartridge.
12/10 reading 1.019, smells incredible, tastes great. Ferm slowing.
12/7 (3 days into ferm) added “high krausen” hops
Approx
2g CaCl
5g CaSO4
Approx 7 gallons
Mash in 153/. Finish at 151
Dry hop at the very end to avoid vegetal character (3-4 days)
11/29/21
Spitballing a 60% efficiency since this is Zach G's equipment and we'll likely do a mash basket and first wort runnings for a first 6 gallon boil (5 gallon final yield).
Then sparge for a small beer of who knows how many gallons.
1g/gallon CaCl maintains ion levels of 72 ppm Ca, 127 ppm Chl.
1g/gallon CaSO4 maintains ion levels of 61ppm Ca, 147ppm SO4
The optimal brewing water range for:
Calcium is 50-150 ppm
Sulfate 150-200 ppm (pale) (not to exceed 400)
Chloride 150 (not to exceed 250)
ESTIMATING 6 gallons for big beer and 5 gallons for small beer
___
3.50 g CaCl in last brewday to support hop and malt profile (see below). Only added to strike water, forgot to add to sparge to maintain profile levels.

___
Lots of long chain sugars and proteins to sustain body despite high attenuation (Michael Tonsmiere echoes this in a blog): unmalted grains, flaked grains, torrified wheat
Can start with saison or mixed culture strain or with a standard sacch strain and after a week pitch a secondary strain to add complexity and (in cases of belgian saison strains) complete attenuation.
Free rise fermentation
Dry hop at the very end to avoid vegetal character (3-4 days)
Whirlpool at 150-60 provides more peachy stonefruit whereas 170-80 leans towards citrus
Oxidation preventions (Aside from reducing hot-side and cold-side aeration) add ~.5 gram ascorbic acid per gallon - add it in any time - between mash and packaging
Salt concentrations: http://howtobrew.com/book/section-3/understanding-the-mash-ph/using-salts-for-brewing-water-adjustment
CaCl (72 ppm Ca, 127 ppm Chl per gram per gallon)
CaSO4 (61ppm Ca, 147ppm SO4)
The optimal brewing water range for:
Calcium is 50-150 ppm
Sulfate 150-200 ppm (pale) (not to exceed 400)
Chloride 150 (not to exceed 250)
The chloride anion acts to make the beer seem fuller and sweeter. It has the opposite effect of sulfate. In fact, the sulfate-to-chloride ratio is a good way to gauge the effect of the brewing water on the balance of the beer. For example, a sulfate-to-chloride ratio of 2:1 or higher will tend to give the beer a drier, more assertive hop balance, while a beer with a ratio of 1:2 will tend to have a less bitter, rounder, and maltier balance. |
