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! |

Dough in grains into 105F water and rest at 95F for 15 min. Then add 178F water to mash to bring temp up to 122F for 15 min. Then remove 1/3 of mash with slotted spoon into a separate pot (first decoction) and heat to 155F for 15 min. Then heat decoction up to a boil (stirring regularly). Add first decoction back to main mash, bringing the combined temp to 152F for 20 min. Then remove 1/2 of mash (with liquid this time) into a separate pot (second decoction) and heat to boil. Then return decoction to main mash for a final rest at 165F for 10 min. |

Notes: Add 1 ml lactic acid (88%) or use acidified malt if needed to drop ph after mash settles in.
Makes good lawn mower beer. Corn goes through funky time when aging in fridge. There will be a malt vinegar smell for 2 days, then just a malt vinegar taste for 2 days, then the taste and odors clean up nicely. Serve at 40 degees and drink out of bottle.
Highest OG I ever got is 48 using a 75 minute mash. Adding a pound of sugar (which is within style for cream ale) might do the trick to raise the O.G. 7 to 9 degrees.

1. Ir acrescentando o malte quando a água ficar a 50 graus
2. Quando acabar de acrescentar o malte, colocar a temperatura em 55-58 (cima-baixo) e repousar por 20 minutos
3. Elevar para 65-68 (cima-baixo) graus e deixar 75 minutos
4. Aumentar a temperatura a 72ºC e manter durante 15 minutos
5. Aumentar a temperatura a 78ºC e manter durante 15 minutos
Fermentação: 1 dia fora. Depois, 19º C (durante 2 dias) e final a 20º C ou mais. Ir aumentando. A temperatura medida pelo termômetro pode ser 1 a menos do que isso.
O off flavor de banana se consegue mediante umas das 3 variaveis:
pouco fermento
alta temperatura de fermentação (> 25C)
pouco oxigenio
Ontem, 15/12/2011, no período da manhã, baixei a temperatura para 12º C, a noite para 7º C e hoje de manhã para 1º C.
Fiz a purga do fermento hoje a noite (16/12) e vou manter a 1º C até domingo.
Maturar bem pouco para não perder o aroma

Notes: 10 Blood oranges (or whatever you have)
Mash in 1.25 qts per pound of grain. 60 minutes at 151DG. Recirculate until wort runs clear. fly sparge for 30 minutes. boil 60 minutes adding hops at intervals as noted.
prepare blood oranges by slicing and scooping out the insides. Use a potato peeler to remove as much skin as possible. boil 1 qt water. cool to 180dg, add oranges, peel, and juice. prepare a hop bag. add orange pieces, and peel. Pour all this into the fermenter. Ferment for 14 days. the WPL-400 will produce a very active fermentation
cold crash for 2 days, keg, and carbonate to 3.5-4 volumes.
I just put this in the kegerator. Drinking it at day 22. i filtered this, most witts are unfiltered.
Smells slightly sour, but taste is not sour. very slight bittering, tapers to smoothness that slides right down the throat. nice mouth feel, nice creamy head
this is a wonderful beer. it will be a staple. |
