Notes: 2 packets of yeast is 0.58 pitch rate.

Bring strike water (8qts) to 159 in pot on the stove, once at 159 remove from heat (should drop to about 149F with grains). Add grains in bag to pot at stir well, leave for 1 hour. If you want a dry stout remove the grains after 0.5 hours and stir in your malt extract, do not apply heat let is rest for 1.5 more hours. This will allow the beta to break down the complex sugars in the extract.

In a separate pot heat sparge water (8qts) to 180F.

Pull grain bag out of kettle and set in colander on top of pot.

Once grain is out reapply heat. Sparge grain until no sparge water remains or the kettle is filled to the desired level.

Bring to a boil and continue as usual.

Notes: trying to make hardywood singel but no attempts online! going off of this :
https://byo.com/component/k2/item/2827-belgian-blond-style-profile

adding the simple sugar to fermentor not during the boil but a couple days into fermentation. will probably dissolve in a little water.

meanwhile trying to hit the official hardywood singel stats : OG 1.056 ABV 6.2 SRM 4 IBU 30. I sense a little woodey or piney something in the beer so im adding a little more hops plus a flameout addition. adding decent amount of light crystal malt to try to achieve a little sweetness without sacrificing the color. probably gonna mash at 150 but try to stay on the cool side.

there is a kind of sour taste to the beer too so im not sure how to achieve that, but likely through yeast selection. still looking at yeasts...would oberon yeast be a candidate?

ogg tony suggests White Labs wlp500

aa on hallertau hersbuckler in this app was way different than german hallertau from the store so i bought too little hops. substituting east kent goldings a little in the bittering addition.

planning to add the sugar to minimal water (pint or two) bring to boil and boil down as much as possible. chill then add to fermentor on day 4 or 5.

Notes: Recipe for a classic Bohemian Pilsener
Updated JAN2026 for new larger s/s decoction pot. I based this on SALT08, but I've made a few adjustments too.

This is a 38L batch. Two 5-gallon fermenters, not the FastFermenter. It's too much work to only yield 26L.

It's a decoction mash too. I have a second burner and a s/s pot that will hold up to 19L. I organize it so that the 2nd burner is close to the mash tun. I carry a lot of hot steaming mash back and forth!

Idea: BUY A 3.5 Kw Induction Heater instead of using the gas burner. Safer, easier, and probably faster.

**YEAST**

My preference is ESCARPMENT LABS CZECH LAGER LIQUID YEAST but any true lager yeast could be used.

Set up a starter two days before the brew. It should follow the "Pro Brewer 1.75 lager" setting on the BF Yeast Calculator. Normally a two-step starter is required.

**GRIST**
Just lager malt and acid malt.

400g acid malt has typically been good enough to get a pH of 5.2. For a couple of brews, I set the amount to 700g but that was too much! Dialing it back henceforward...

**DECOCTION MASH**

Use mash cheat sheet at google drive in my beer and brewing folder.

Dough in (protein rest) and first decoction
-------------------------------------------------------------
* FIll HLT w/ 40L water (80% RO & 20% Spring)
* Bring HLT to 134F and dough in 27L.
* - Strike temp =/ 122 °F (50 °C). Hold for 10 minutes (maintain until return of first decoction)

Pull a thick decoction: one-third to one-half the mash; s/s pot is ~70% full and contains ~ 11 Kg of mash (tare of kettle is 3.2 Kg)
Heat the decoction to 150°F; hold for 10 minutes // as soon as you are anywhere near 150F, kill the heat!
Heat the decoction to 162°F; hold for 10 minutes
Heat the decoction to a boil; boil for 20 minutes. ('boil' means visible boil plus 208F thoughout, with lots of stirring.)

Beta Amylase rest and second decoction
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Return the decoction to the mash, strike temp = 144–147°F ; hold 15 minutes (Maintain with HERMS, if necessary, until return of second decoction.)
* Pull a second thick decoction one-quarter of the mash; s/s pot is ~70% full and has 13 Kg of mash (pot tare is 3.2)
* Heat the decoction to 162°F; hold for 10 minutes.
* Heat the decoction to a boil; boil for 10 minutes.

Alpha Amylase rest and mashout
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Return the second decoction to the mash, strike temp = 158°F; hold for 30 minutes.
* Use HERMS to raise temp to mashout 170F
* get a sample before you sparge. (For SaltMines5, the gravity was 1.096 at this point!)
* Sparge and lauter as usual

**HOPS**

Use 450 alpha points (my system - g * AA%) or 16 AAU (BF system - ounces times AA%) or 30 IBU (BF-reported) of a noble hop. Normally Saaz or Hallertau. Ideally, all of those values should line up with the same values.

Do the first wort hopping thing (https://byo.com/article/first-wort-hopping-techniques):
Take a quarter of your bittering hops and toss them in the kettle as soon as there is wort heating in it. Don't wait for it to reach a boil. Throw the rest in when it reaches a boil, and boil for the usual 60 minutes.

**FERMENTATION**
This recipe has occasionally had problems with sluggish fermentations. And DMS issues. Consider krausening in the future as a remedy for such problems. https://byo.com/mr-wizard/krausening-for-homebrewers/

Notes: Orange peel should be added to wort for last 20 minutes of boil. 1/2 oz coriander crushed and added for last 5 minutes of boil. The honey should be pasteurized per this article and added to the primary fermenter. http://byo.com/feature/924.html The last 1/2 oz. of coriander should be lightly heated in a skillet to loosen the essential oils, crushed and added to the secondary. The spice version of dry-hopping.
