Notes: 1) 4 gals Hinkley springs into mash and boil - heat to 169F

2) Add salts and mash in - PH 5.3

3) 75 minute mash, no stir then reciruclate/lauter at finish - about 2 gallons (1 gallon prior to raising mash tube)

Efficiency at 75% as expected - had to stir and take 3 readings and got variances around 1.070 - 1.073. Measured in hot wort trusting ATC

4) Begin sparge with 4 gallons of room temp pouring 1 gallon about every 15 mins slowly allowing it to rinse grain - ended up about 6.25 gallons

5) Boil and Hop following recipe, cool then whirlpool. Recirc wort through hop screen during WP hops - clogged a bit due to trub so watch next time

OG 1.077 - need to boil longer next time as 1.081 was target

6) Transfer to Fermenter and shake vigorously - ended up just less than 5 gallons in Fermenter (~4.75g)

7) Cool steady at 67F and pitch decanted starter from fridge, still cold

8) Fermentation started by morning so ~12 hours. 24 hours in and blow-off bubbling hard

9) After 7 days I pitched dry-hop and pumped in co2 through my blow-off rig (has a co2 quick disconnect on a T-valve that can seal from my SS brew bucket)

Measured some FGs and got 1.020 - hit target

10) After 2 days on DH I dropped the temp to cold crash at ~38F and let crash for 3-4 days adding in co2 to keep positive pressure and ensure no oxygen

11) Kegged by pumping out a keg filled with sani into another keg and then closed transferred into the keg

12) Slow and steady carbed at 2.4 vols @ ~38F in kegerator

Notes: Add honey with 5 minutes left in the boil.

Grate 2 large oranges leaving the pith behind and add the peel to the secondary.

Despite the high alcohol content from the honey this is a citrusy, light, and refreshing beer.

Notes: Coffee Pumpkin Spice Stout

2 cans of pumpkin in the mash! Yes, the mash was slow.

1 lb lactose in mash/boil, while .5 added in secondary for tweaking flavor/sweetness balance.

The BU:GU ratio is purposely very low because the coffee will add bitterness to balance the BU:GU. Brewer's Friend does not have a way to account for the bitterness of coffee.

Goals:
- Spice aroma
- Michelle will make a spice tea

- cinnamon stick
- vanilla
- cardamom and nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice
- cloves
- soak spices in bourbon

- Coffee flavor
- Add Cold brew in secondary
- Possibly Espresso

- Some roastiness
- Pumpkin essence
- Pumpkin in mash (pumpkin pie filling)
- Very little hoppiness (under 20 ibu)
- Sweeter/maltier
- Dual decoction?

7-9+ ABV

Notes: Based on Former Tenant clones discussed here:
https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/former-tenant-red-ipa-modus-operandi.90865/page-4

After three weeks in the bottle, compared to a Former Tenant can dated 06/03/2018.

Appearance:
Colour is super close. The homebrew (HB) leans ever so slightly towards amber, while the FT has a genuine cherry red hue. Head on the FT is a more tan colour, compared to paler HB.

Aroma:
Not dissimilar! But there are distinct differences. FT smells of resinous pine, stewed fruit, ripe pineapple and dark Christmas cake. HB has a lighter, more green, tropical melon-fruit aroma, pineapple and passionfruit, and lacks the pine of the FT.

Taste:
Both beers are initially malty. FT has an early slightly sour acid, before rich palate-coating resin, big bread and biscuit and strong lingering bitterness. HB is sweeter, bitterness is similarly lingering but not as assertive up front, malt character a bit more restrained.

Overall:
Not a perfect clone, but the home brew is in the ballpark. I wanted to all-grain brew so I could make the beer I really wanted to drink, and this is almost as good as the real thing. I find the slightly more restrained, sweeter (but this is still a big red IPA!) character of the home-brew makes it easier to come back for more, but the FT is the beer that smacks you in the cheeks and makes you pay attention. I’m pretty stoked to have a couple of cases of this in store, especially when the FT is $13/500mL!
