Notes: Directions provided by Midwest Supply. See link.

Heat Strike Water:
Heat at least 4 gallons of water to 160–165º, depending on the temperature of your grain. Mash temperature should be 152º F.

Mash in:
Using a mash paddle, mix the crushed grain with the water. Make sure to mix it up well to avoid any dry pockets, or “dough balls”.

Once the mash is well mixed and sitting at 152º F, cover and let it rest for 60 minutes.

Sparge:
While your mash is resting, heat 5 gallons of water to 168º F. Perform a batch sparge to collect 7 gallons of wort and bring to a boil.

The Boil:
As soon as you see a rolling boil, set your timer for 60 minutes and add 0.5 oz Centennial hops.

Boil for 40 minutes then add 1 oz Cascade hops.

Boil for 10 minutes then add 1 oz Cascade hops.

Boil for 10 minutes then add 2 oz Citra hops and turn off heat. Allow to steep 10 minutes before chilling.

Cool and Aerating the Wort:
Cool the wort to below 80°F using an ice bath, adding ice made from boiled water to top off your full volume, or using a wort chiller (best method). Once your wort is below 80°F, transfer it into your primary fermentor, and take a hydrometer reading. See our FAQs for tips on taking a hydrometer reading.

Use One of These Methods for Aeration:
• Pour the cool wort between two sanitized buckets several times.
• Mix and stir vigorously for several minutes with a sanitized spoon.
• Aerate with the Midwest Supplies Aeration system for up to 10 minutes (7862).
• Add pure oxygen for 2 minutes with the Midwest
Supplies’ Oxygenation Kit 2.0 (40033).

Fermentation:
Pitch (add) your yeast and store your fermentor in a dark area with
a stable temperature of 65–72°F. Leave until primary fermentation is complete, usually between 7–14 days. If you’re unsure, take a hydrometer reading.

Optional, but highly recommended: Rack to a 5 gallon carboy for secondary fermentation and aging. Midwest recommends a 3 week secondary fermentation for this kit.

Dry Hops:
5-10 days before packaging the beer add 1 oz Citra and 1 oz
Cascade to the fermenter.

Bottling:
Remember to clean and sanitize all of your bottling gear. Mix priming
sugar with 2 cups of water and boil for 5 minutes. Cool and add to your bottling bucket. Rack your beer on top of the priming solution, making sure it gets mixed in well. Bottle and cap. Once bottled, store in a dark place between 65–72°F for 1–2 weeks to carbonate.

Enjoy with friends and family!

Notes: Lightly taken from the source for a reference Kolsch recipe, adding SeaQuench Ale qualities.

Kettle Sour/Sour Mash - sour the night before, check sourness next morning to see if it has become sour enough. If not, continue to let it sour. Otherwise, sparge if necessary and then proceed with recipe as normal.

Pitch Yeast at 65F when beer is chilled to this temp. Cool to 60 for 5-7 days afterwards. Bring up to 65 for ~1 day for diacetyl rest. Rack then age at 35F for 21-30 days.

Notes: -5 Gallons of Apple Juice, Tree-Top Brand
-2 cans of Apple Juice Concentrate, Tree-Top Brand
-~3/4 Gallon Cranberry Juice (12 cups water, 9 cups cranberries / ~2lbs honey, 6 tbs fresh ginger, dried orange peel simmered ~30mins)
-Yeast Nutrient
-Pectic Enzyme
-Danstar Nottingham Ale Yeast

Primary Ferment: ~2 weeks
Secondary Ferment:
Bottle Condition:

Original Gravity = 1.060 (aiming for ~7.88%abv)
Gravity after one week* = 1.022 (4.99% abv)
Gravity after two weeks** = 1.000 (7.88% abv)
Final Gravity = .998 (8.14% abv)

*Taste after one week: Still really sweet, w/ strong amounts of cranberry flavor -- maybe too much, and good, pink coloring. Very subtle ginger notes; mostly just an after-effect, and not really noticeable up-front. Still really cloudy. Fermenting really slowly, but is progressing. Clean overall taste, not much yeasty flavor. Apple flavor is sort of bland and just sweet; maybe needing more tannin from skins, and store bought juice isn't quite enough. Continued drying & aging should help clarify and sharpen the flavors. Aroma is pretty negligible.

**Taste after two weeks: The sweetness has nearly totally fermented out, w/ good alcoholic sharpness. Has a pretty strong ginger flavor; good pink coloring still (though pretty cloudy overall). Leaves the mouth feeling dry and puckered... Overall, rather dry and tart. Decent apple notes upfront, and then bitter after taste. The yeast is still present, and some aging should mellow that out. Still thinking that the overall apple tone is somewhat flat, and that additional apple tannins would help -- though I think the freshly juiced cranberries added the needed tannins, just not apple-y ones...

[Next time: 1) Just use pre-packaged cranberry juice... 2) Add in a few fresh squeezed / pressed apples for a more robust apple flavor, especially sharp flavored apples.]

Notes: Oddly low conversion efficiency of 65%. This was only my 2nd AG brew. A few differences from my 1st try:

Added:
1) pH=5.2 buffer in mash
2) Used leaf hops in boil which extracted a lot of wort.
3) Used a new hydrometer as my trusty one broke. Hope it's calibrated.
4) Probably still need to slow down on the sparge.

Always get great attenuation with the French Saison yeast.

Aroma is very strong of basil, but not unpleasant. Saison character dominates palate.

Next time, I'd back off on the basil to 1.5oz.

Notes: Add 4 oz fresh ground coffee to secondary. Use 5.687 gal water for mash. Add 1.69 gal at mashout and sparge with 3.875 gal. Should give pre-boil at 7.75 gal. Minus 2.25 g lost to evaporation during 90 min boil = 5.5 gal post-boil. About 5.25 going into fermenter after hops and trub absorption. Ferment at 65 for awhile and raise to 69 when fermentation slows. Pitch two packages of US-56 for fermentation and one for bottling. Add the yeast to fermenter or secondary, not bottling bucket. Only use 1/2 cup DME for bottling.

Notes: Water report WLFVTGN

This beer is DELICIOUS! I will be making this again! Lots of great comments from friends.
It's not excessively bitter, and the large dry hop and grapefruit zest really brought out the Citra fruity aroma. I made no attempt to prevent the cloudiness of the beer, so it's cloudy, but that's what I like.
I was inspired by Cigar City's Guayaberas to make an IPA that was not excessively bitter, but was very juicy and delicious, with large grapefruit notes.

Brewing notes:
There are very little hops used in the boil. Only 1 oz at 60 mins. 2 ounces went into the kettle at a 180º whirlpool, which I stirred for 15 minutes. I used a large amount of hops, -5oz-, to dry hop, along with the zest of two grapefruits. The dry hop and zest were added in sanitized bags, with a sanitized spoon to make them sink.
I used distilled water built up to the specifications listed in my water chemistry profile
I'd even like to try the recipe again and adjust the hop schedule. I didn't think it was excessively bitter, but I'd like to try skipping the 60 minute boil and adding a 10 minute hop addition. I'll try it when I'm not as burned out on NE IPA's.
