Notes: Any American bittering hops are fine, I am just using up some I have lying around.
All Pale malt, all pilsner or a mix of them is fine too.
Spelt flour, wheat flour, wheat malt, spelt malt, all good as well. |

Notes: This is a modified version of Vacant Gesture Blonde Ale. You can see Chris Harrison brew this beer on YouTube - his tag is Harrybrew69.
The link for this recipe is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GwSvbdgQmY&pbjreload=10
I have some Challenger this time - it is citrusy with pine notes. I lowered the amounts to come closer to Chris's 26 IBUs Finally, I replaced the Mosaic with Mandarina Bavaria, but I am not going for the 26 IBUs - I am going with the BU/GU at .61, so I reduced the boil time and amount of bittering.
Chris uses US-05, I am using US-04 which according to some would shove the beer towards a "belgian" or "wit" style.
This is a delicious and satisfying, slightly bitter brew that is perfect most anytime. It is tawny yellow in the glass and easy drinking, with a not too high ABV so you can enjoy more than 1.
Working on orange flavor - you definitely get an orange note in each sip and a "citrusy" nose on this beer. Perhaps go with orange zest in the flameout to amp it up more? |

♦ SESSION NOTES:
Calls for 148° mash and then raise to 170°. Let is stand for 10 minutes then remove and boil. Hops to be added at flameout. I did have California WLP-001 but went a cheaper route with 2 packs of US-05. Phantom didn't have 1 lb Flaked Rice so Kathy and Steve said to add a pound of Rye.

Ingredients
7.88 gallons filtered water
9lbs. German Pilsner
1lb. 4oz. Flaked Corn
1lb. 40z. Flaked Rice
6 oz. Huell Melon Hops
Alpha galactosidase enzyme
The Science of Step Mashing
https://byo.com/article/the-science-of-step-mashing/
Procedure
Heat water to 145F, stir in grains and rest for 60 minutes (while maintaining heat).
Bump kettle temperature up to 170 after the mash and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
Prop grains above liquid, allowing excess wort to drain into kettle.
Increase kettle temp to a boil (maintain for 60 minutes)
Set grains aside once draining is complete.
After boil, lower kettle temp to 170 and complete a 20 minute hopstand / whirlpool using 3 ounces of Huell Melon hops.
Cool to 65 degrees and pitch 2 packets of WLP-001 California Ale yeast
Ferment for 7-10 days.
Dry hop for 2 days with 3 ounces of Huell Melon hops.
Keg or bottle, and enjoy!
Stats
Starting gravity: 1.058
Ending gravity: 1.010
ABV: 6.3%
As you can see by the stats, we did not achieve the gravity reduction we were looking for. We were hoping this beer would ferment down to 1.005 or lower. Apparently the "Bean Assist" enzymes didn't offer the assist we were looking for. We've seen other brewers use this enzyme with success, so we're not sure why it didn't work for us. We measured pH after the mash and it didn't drop to the level that we were shooting for, which could have impacted starch conversion / fermentation. Or, the enzymes were just bunk. We don't know.
Tasting Notes
Despite the lack of gravity reduction, the beer definitely has a very dry mouthfeel. It's nice and creamy as it hits your mouth but makes your tongue feel "gritty" after the swallow. So, it has some of the desired qualities that a Brut would have. But it's definitely slightly sweet. As far as Brut IPAs go, this one is questionable. As far as regular IPAs go, this beer is phenomenal. Emmet and I absolutely love it and will definitely brew it again. Check back for part 2, where we'll duplicate this recipe using a different enzyme. |

Notes: Threw in the grist at 70 and it dropped to about 65. Tried to warm up the heater and also threw in 2litres of hot water, the water might not have been hot enough (mistake) and it was mashing at 62 for quite some time. Suddenly the thermometer was showing 78 after about 20 minutes and I had to throw in 2 litres more of cold water. Mash was a totaly scandal.
Had calculated 15l of water and the grains to absorb 3l, they actually absorbed about 4. With 4l of more water thrown in I was now at 15 again. Threw in 6 more litres after the mash and started boiling (should have been 7 or 8 now when I think of it. I boiled off 4 litres of water during the boil.
Also maybe 2 litres of trub so ended up with just a bit more than 15 litres. |

This beer turned out great, though it took a good 9-12 months of sitting in a bottle to really mellow out with a nice medium malty flavor. |
