Notes: Volume of whiskey used was just enough to cover chips in a small sealed plastic container. Half tsp of spices were sprinkled on the mixture midway through soaking, which was done in a cold environment for 12 days. Entire mixture was placed in secondary and beer racked on top. Spent 2 days warm and 3 days cold, then packaged. Could have gone a little longer but didn't want to risk spoiling the excellent flavor.
Actual FG was much sweeter than predicted (1.025), likely due to lactose and high mash temp plus lack of fermentables in some of the grist. |

Notes: this is the first attempt at somewhat of a clone of Mayflower Brewing's Thanksgiving Ale. Disclaimer, not from New England, have not tasted the beer before; just trying to target something similar.
mash additives are for adjusting my local water profile to match a "balanced profile", and for pH.
hoping to ferment at about 66F, and age for 4 weeks or so with oak chips, vanilla beans and roasted spicy mixed nuts.
then keg and carb in time for t-giving.
UPDATE: after brewing this beer, I ended up using 2oz of the oak chips, and let them age for the 4 weeks indicated. This seemed like way too much. In the end, it’s all I could taste. If I brewed this again, I would scale back the oak chips. |

Notes: Add half the gypsum to 3.5 gal of water. Heat water to 145 degree F (62.5 C) water and mix well. The temperature will stabilize between 130 and 135 degrees F (54.5-57 C). Add heat if necessary and hold the temperature at about 133 degrees F (56 C) for 30 minutes. Don't worry about a 3- to 5-degree F (2- j C) temperature drop during this time.
Raise mash temperature to about or just below 155 degrees F (68 C). Hold at 149 to 155 degrees F (65-68 C) for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Complete conversion by raising the temperature to 158 degrees F (70 C) and holding for 10 to 20 minutes or until an iodine test indicates complete conversion. Then add more heat to raise the temperature to 167 degrees F (75 C).
Sparge with 3.5 gallons (131) of hot water at 170 degrees F (76 C) (add the other half of the gypsum to the sparge water). The volume of the wort before boiling should be about 7.5 gallons (21 I).
Bring the sweet wort to a boil and add the rapidura or invert sugar and boiling hops and boil for 50 minutes. Add the Irish moss and boil for 5 more minutes. Then add the aroma hops and boil a final 5 minutes. Cool the wort to about 70 to 75 degrees F (21-24 C).
The final primary batch size is 5.25 gallons (20 I). If necessary, add additional cold water to achieve this volume. Add yeast when the temperature of the wort is about 70-75 degrees F (21~24 C). Preferably ferment at 70-72-degree F (21-22 C) range for about 4 to 6 days or until fermentation is complete and appears to clear and darken. At this point, transfer the beer into a secondary fermenter and add the 1/2 ounce (14-gm) Kent Goldings hop pellets. Let the fermentation complete and settle in the secondary for 7 days. For best results, secondary "cellar" or age at 50 degrees F (l0 C) to help drop yeast out of suspension, but this is not at all crucial to the quality. Bottle with corn sugar. Age and carbonate/condition at about 70 degrees F (21 C).

Notes: EDIT 2/20/07: Please do not PM me with questions on this recipe. Post them to this thread. I get way too many questions that are already answered within this long thread, so consider reading the entire thing (or using the Search function) prior to posting.
Here's the final recipe that I'm brewing RIGHT NOW.
Malts
3 pounds extra light DME
3 pounds light wheat DME
1 pound Caramel 60L (steeped for 45 minutes at 150'-165')
Hops
1oz Cascade for bittering (60 minutes)
.5oz Saaz for flavor (20 minutes)
.5 oz Tettnang for aroma (end of boil)
Yeast
Wyeast German Ale
Extras
1 tsp Irish Moss (10 minutes)
4oz Lactose @ 15 minutes
2 oz real vanilla extract
Priming
>1cup Lactose
4oz vanilla (Be careful! This may be too much vanilla for some people.)
1.5 cups light DME
I'm adding the Lactose in the last 15 minutes of the boil. I'll add the vanilla in the primary, because I don't want to risk losing any that bonds to the trub. So far, it smells fantastic but I'm still at the bittering hops boil. I think this should end up with a nice caramel flavor and a good hint (perhaps a suggestion size amount) of vanilla. I've had vanillas with way too much flavor and they tasted too much like candy. This should have a decent balance.
Notes: 11/4/05
So good. Can't even explain it - you simply must make this beer. I let it prime for almost 2 weeks before fridging it, then cracked one tonight after only about 30 hours. Great head, good lace, nice color, good body and nose. Pictures won't do it justice, but here's one anyways

Notes: fermenter could not accommodate all the wort when combined with cider so I took a hit on starting gravity. hit 1.081 og, aiming for 1.090+
added 1 lbs honey @ high Krausen, bringing to roughly 1.088.
fermented aggressivley then slowed considerably, fermenting for over a month.
As it has attenuated, the grainy harshness disappeared and the honey and cider became dominant. Still quite sweet; hoping to attenuate to 1.020.
1/27 after nearly 1.5 months in primary, attenuated to 1.020.
Deep orange, floral honey notes, slight tartness. |
