Notes: DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 150°F (66°C) for 30 minutes, going for a liquor-to-grist ratio of 1.25 quarts/lb (2.6 liters/kg). Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle, adding the first-wort hops. (Stop the runnings if the wort drops below 1.010 or rises to 5.7 pH.) Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.
Boil for 90 minutes, adding dextrose according to the schedule.
After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, adding hops when the wort has cooled to 195°F (91°C); steep 10 minutes.
Chill to 65°F (18°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 66°F (19°C) for 24 hours, then at 68°F (20°C).
When primary fermentation is complete and gravity has stabilized—typically Day 6—drop the yeast or rack to secondary, add the first dry hops, and raise the temperature to 70°F (21°C). Rouse the hops on Day 7. On Day 8, drop the yeast/trub and add the second dry hops. Drop the trub again after 2 more days. Once the beer has passed a forced diacetyl test for two days (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com), crash to 30°F (–1°C), add Biofine, and package 1–2 days later, carbonating to 2.75 volumes of CO2.
BREWER’S NOTES
Water profile: Target 100 ppm calcium and a 2:1 sulfate-to-calcium ratio.
pH: We target 5.2 pH in the mash, 5.05 post boil, and below 4.4 post fermentation.
Aeration: We oxygenate to 9 ppm; over-aeration can negatively impact the beer’s longevity.
Yeast pitch: We pitch 800,000 cells per ml/°P/barrel of healthy yeast. Homebrewers will want to make a healthy yeast starter.
IBUs: It’s worth noting that our software massively overestimates IBU calculations, so we adjust accordingly. This recipe shows up as 125 IBUs on our software, but the numbers above reflect what we’ve found by testing the beer. Ultimately, each brewer’s taste buds should lead them to get those IBUs up—or get their beer tested!
Rousing hops: A day after each dry-hop addition, we bubble the tank with 50 psi bursts of CO2, 3 times for 30 seconds each. |

Notes: Let's paint a word picture for you. Start with a sky the shade of blue that only an early summer afternoon can deliver. The sun is shining its love down, warming you like a gentle hug from your favorite person. Brief interludes of shade are cast down by happy little clouds passing lazily by. Far below there's a little stream meandering through a mountain meadow. In its own way, it sings along with the birds who call this place home. Look a little closer. Notice the little honeybee, joyously floating on the breeze? Not a care in the world...just bouncing from flower to flower in the endless patches of wild thyme that give the sparkling water just a hint of purple. Now, imagine how this little bee feels as it savors sweet nectar freshly drawn from the alpine blooms. Yeah, that's the kind of warm fuzzy perfection harnessed in this brew. So, crack a open a bottle and start floating on a happy little journey of your own.

Notes: update 10/5/2020. Adding additional process notes. When base beer is hald fermented add the blueberries. I get frozen blueberries from the grocery store, thaw overnight, then blend into puree in the blender. I used 6lbs blueberry for this batch but that is probably too much. It tasted like juice instead of beer. Probably next time use 3 or 4 lb. Scrape the vanilla bean and soak in small amount of vodka with lemon zest for at least 2 days before adding to the beer.
Update 11/26/18 : brewed this last night, decided not to go with the belgian yeast - it was really old, i wanted to make a week long starter to prove it was still viable and the number of healthy yeast in there is probably low. anyway just went with the 1056 now we will just call it a blonde ale i guess. teal suggested that blueberry muffins often have lemon. plenty of ways to do this but i think i am going to zest 1 lemon and add it to the vanilla bean vodka mixture for a couple days before going into secondary. decided the amount based off of this discussion : https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/how-many-lemons-zest.15966/#post-249484
also considered using dried peel. would have to order or go to brew store for that though so we'll try the zest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
10/24/2018 : copied from 2016's trustmonkey belgian blond. removing cane sugar and LME, changed from pilsner malt to 2row, adjusting efficiency, adding some base malt to make up for removed sugars but also to increase abv to around 7. adjusting crystal malts to match original recipe percentages. switched to only hallertau for simplicity. im seeing sample belgian blonde with 5.6AAU for 60 mins (https://byo.com/article/belgian-blond-style-profile/) so ill go with about that, and add some flavoring hops as well. not sure how much blueberry to use yet......rb10242018
--------------------
copied from 2015's blinde recipe. came out with 5 gallons exactly but was under on gravity - 1.044 (without the sugar), wanted to hit 1.051. By chance I have some Pilsen LME so I will add enough to add 7 pts. Wort has been chilling for one day while yeast starter....starts. Adding the LME and pitching tonight (night after brew night) |
