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.

Made a version swapping out 4 oz of Victory for 2 oz of Melanoidin. Seems too malty; maybe add back 2 oz of Victory and reduce Melanoidin to 1 oz.

Notes: Stone Levitation Amber Ale
5 gallons (about fifty-four 12-ounce bottles or thirty 22-ounce bottles)

8 pounds, 8.0 ounces crushed North American two-row pale malt
14.4 ounces crushed 75L crystal malt
8.3 ounces crushed 150L crystal malt
1.3 ounces crushed black malt
About 8 gallons plus 12 cups water

0.28 ounce Columbus hops (12.9% alpha acid)
½ teaspoon Irish moss 
0.90 ounce Amarillo hops (8.5% alpha acid)
0.90 ounce Crystal hops (3.5% alpha acid)
0.26 ounce Simcoe hops (13.0% alpha acid)
1 (35ml) package White Labs WLP007 Dry English Ale Yeast or WLP002 English Ale Yeast
0.77 ounce Amarillo hops (8.5% alpha acid)
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons light dried malt extract

I can’t stress it enough: clean and sanitize everything.

Mashing
In a 10-gallon insulated cooler, combine the malts with 3 gallons plus 2 cups of 173°F water. The water should cool slightly when mixed with the grain. Hold the mash at 157°F for 30 minutes.
Add 1 gallon plus 12 cups of 182°F water. The mixture should come up to 165°F.

Lautering and Sparging
Once the liquid is lower than the level of the grain, begin to slowly sprinkle 3 gallons plus 14 cups of 168°F water over the grains to start the sparge. Continue sparging.

The Boil
For safety’s sake, set up your propane burner outside. Set the brew kettle of wort on top and add water to bring the wort level up to about 6 gallons plus 12 cups, if needed. Bring the wort to a rapid, rolling boil. As it begins to come to a boil, a layer of foam and scum may develop at the surface. Skim it off and discard. Once the wort is at a full boil, put a hops bag containing the Columbus hops in the kettle and set a timer for 90 minutes. Stir the wort frequently during the boil, and be watchful to avoid boilovers.

At 15 minutes before the end of the boil, stir in the Irish moss. At 10 minutes before the end of the boil, put a hops bag containing the 0.90 ounce of Amarillo hops in the kettle. When the boiling time is over, turn off the heat and put a hops bag containing the Crystal and Simcoe hops in the kettle. Cover the kettle and immediately begin cooling the wort quickly.

Pitching the Yeast and Fermentation
Once the wort has cooled to 72°F, discard the spent hops and check the specific gravity of the wort with a hydrometer. The target starting gravity is 1.048 (12 Plato).
Transfer the wort to the primary fermentation bucket or carboy. Pitch the yeast (or prepare a yeast starter). Allow the wort to ferment through primary fermentation at 72°F, then transfer the wort to a carboy for dry hopping and secondary fermentation.

Dry Hopping
Put the 0.77 ounce of Amarillo hops in a hops bag and put it in the carboy. Seal the carboy with the drilled stopper and an airlock filled halfway with water and ferment at 72°F.

After 7 days, dry hopping is complete. Remove the hops bag and discard the hops. Check the specific gravity of the beer. If it’s reached the target final gravity of 1.013 (3.2 Plato), it’s ready to bottle. If not, allow it to continue fermenting at 72°F until it reaches the target.

Bottling
When you’re ready to bottle, clean and sanitize the bottles, caps, and bottling equipment. Put the dried malt extract in a medium saucepan and stir in just enough water to dissolve it. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat, cover, and let cool slightly. Proceed with bottling.

Process/notes:
Mash at 152 F for 60 minutes. I batch sparge. As you begin to drain your second runnings, add FWH. I add Gypsum, dissolved in warm water, at the beginning of the boil for a little more control than you might get from a mash addition. Note that I use U.S. Goldings (produced by Indie), which I get from my LHBS. I like these better than EKG. If you can get your hands on some, I highly recommend them. If not, no biggie. The Crystal 15 is domestic, but definitely source a British malt for the darker crystal. The Belgian biscuit was a tweak I made when I re-brewed for the final round. I think it gives it more character than Victory malt. I love Wyeast 1469, and use it for most of my bitters, porters and stouts. For this low OG, you do not need to make a starter. As with most of my beers, I ferment at around 67 for 3 weeks.
