Notes: God damn messy brew day, need to sort the bloody set up for next time!
Completed water calculations then didn't trust them and underfilled initial mash and had to top up. Overcompensated with splarge and probably made 32+ litres in the end and got a boil over as a lesson for my mistake.
Prrboil was a little under expected at 1.045 post boil made this up at 1.07.
In the fermenter now and awaiting dry hop additions and fruit juices soon.
Dry hopped with just 2 hop varieties on day 4 with Rubicon brand fruit juices - 1L each (passion fruit and lychee cartons). Smells great!
Reading up on NEIPA has got me paranoid re:oxidation. Decided to bottle after only a week (doubt there is a great deal left to go anyway).
Final reading 1.02 - ABV at least 6.5% (likely more due to late juice additions).
This is definitely not an NEIPA - stuff is clearing already in my sample has.
Obvious errors I have made -
1. too full for boil meant I lost some protein in the book over.
2. Need neater set-up for whirlpool at the end
3. Ditch the bazooka screen - I have a false bottom and a BIAB bag so no need and constantly restricts flow on the damned pump.
4. Do NOT secondary - had so much trub from the above I moved to secondary but now understand this is a killer for an NEIPA
5. Not sure if new formula Rubicon juices now suitable for fermentation - they say "30% LESS SUGAR" but clearly sweet so may have other crap in it (and perhaps preservatives) that probably don't help the style. I'll ditch this next time and go all beer.
I bottled into squeezed pet bottles (no air space at all) and purges mini-kegs (full purge using water) to minimise air exposure.
Fermented Wort tastes great so at least it's not a complete failure! fingers crossed goos after carbing and I avoid dreaded oxidation.
Actually despite the various cock ups, this beer tastes great! Reckon it could be better without the various errors made in the brew process and I think I'd skip the fruit juice additions next time. |

Notes: Lactic acid used 10ml and pH was 5.4
Pre-boil gravity 1.055 after 5lbs of blueberries 1.065.
FG 1.012 before 5lbs of blueberries in secondary. FG before kegging is 1.010. 7.22%
Aug 2019 beer contest 25/50 did not feel there was any malt or hop flavor. Thought blueberry was heavy for a beer.
another judge thought terrible. 13/50. Diacetyl butter cleaning soluvent. Thought no hop flavor or yeast.
I tried same recipe with peach. 3.9 gal mash 2.9 gal sparge. I added 2 gallon through grain to get the preboil volume to 6 gal (too much water?) I did not check gravity before adding water. OG after and before peach (5Lb added in spider at flameout, (canned purred)) was 1.045. 7 days later FG and at time of adding 5 Lbs peaches (canned pureed) was 1.008 using same yeast as before. After 8 days FG is 1.040-1.030 After secondary peach addition there was what seemed to be yeast activity but not sure how accurate FG is after the peaches.

Notes: Når vannet har nådd 70 grader. Da bruker du 28 liter vann pluss 1 liter vann per kilo malt. Ha oppi posen og deretter maltet(kornet). Pass på at den ikke klumper seg. Da vil temperaturen falle til ca. 66 grader. La stå i en time. Prøv å holde temperaturen jevn med å isolere med f.eks. ei dyne.
Når det har gått 60 minutter snørper du sammen posen og lar den renne av seg over kjelen. Sett gjerne ei rist i mellom.
Sett så varmen på fullt og vent til det starter å koke. Kan fort ta opp til 45 minutter før det starter å koke, kommer an på effekten. Ha oppi humle når det begynner å koke. Følg oppskriften.
Når det har kokt i 60 minutter skrur du av varmen. Kjøl så ned vørteren og før det over til et godt vasket og desinfisert gjæringskar- husk å desinfisere slangen.
Ha oppi gjæra (bare strø den forsiktig over toppen) og risk karet godt i 5 minutter for å få inn oksygen. (Dette er viktig).
Lå stå i to uker, for så å flaske ølet med 6 gram sukker per liter øl. Blandes ut som en sukkerlake i omstikkingskaret. La flaskene stå romtemp i to uker for karbonering før de kjøles og serveres. Nyt! :-) |

Notes: Starter used 1/2 package of dry to build up to 150B cells. Used 80gm DME light in 750ml water. On stir plate for 18 hours.
Starter was prepared 2 days before brew date. Twelve hours before pitching the flask was refrigerated. At pitching 500ml was poured off, remained mixed to suspend yeast, then poured into aerated wort.
Sparge water is distilled.
Need for protein rest is 50:50. Last batch incorporated 10 min and result was excellent. Changing malts and hops and lightening up the water this time, so perhaps the P-rest should stay.
Ok, at last minute decided to do 3 rests at 122F for 10, 140F for 10 and 153F for 45.
Substituted Carahell as I was out of Crystal 10 malt. |
