Notes: so heres my watermelon berliner weisse recipe.
its pretty simple.
mash in and out as usually
but after mash out drop kettle temperature to 45 degrees and with a Ph reader check your Ph (should be at 4.8-5.0) if its higher use some 88% Lactic acid (sparingly) to drop your Ph.
once your Ph reading is right
pitch your ROOM TEMPERATURE lactobacillus (5335) cover with cling film and leave it. (mine took about 16 Hours) check it every 4 or so hours and do a Ph reading. Youre looking for somewhere around the 3.3-3.5 mark.
once pH level is right bring to a boil for 15 minutes and continue onwards like a normal brew (add hops, chill, pitch us-05, ferment)
once primary fermentation is finished rack onto frozen watermelon reduction*
and let sit for 8-10 days.
*watermelon reduction:(best to do this at least 3 day before racking into secondary) cut, and juice all of the flesh of the watermelon, place all of the juiced liquid and even pits of pulp into a pot and simmer until reduced by half then keep temperature above 88 degrees for 15 minutes. then place in a sterilized container and freeze until needed. |

Notes: Double decoction:
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: - Put honey into brew kettle at 130-140 degrees
- Ginger went in at 60 minutes during the boil (in mesh bag)
- Cinnamon sticks went in at 60 minutes during the boil (in mesh bag)
- 2 liquid packages of Wyeast london ale 1028 per 5 gallon carboy
- Started fermentation temperature at 64 for day 1, increased to 65 on day 2, increased to 66 on day 4 (and it stayed here but closer to 67 than 66)
- Took gravity reading on day 7 and it was already 1.016 (implied 78% attenuation). Expected final gravity at avg. attenuation (75%) was supposed to be 1.018. So we started cold crashing the beer at 39 degrees on day 7.

Notes: This recipe follows closely to a Black Butte Porter clone recipe with minor adjustments.
Nibs and oak chips are negligible. Add to taste.
---Batch 1: 8/3/2013---
- Substitutions: Warrior for Nugget. Belgian chocolate for American chocolate. 120L for 90L.
- No starter- 2 vials instead
- Crap. I got Flaked Wheat vs Malted Wheat. I'm not actually sure they had malted wheat. I changed the recipe to account
- 1 week: After a week it's done fermenting (it fermented HARD for a couple days). FG is at 1.016 (estimated since I never took an OG).
- Added only 6oz of the cocoa nibs. It already smelled so chocolate'y.
- Added the 8oz of extracted oak chips and a vanilla bean.
- 2 weeks later: FG still at 1.016. Hydrometer tasting was amazing. Kegging.
- VERDICT: Perfect. If anything, it tastes a tad sweet. Almost like a lacto stout. But that is probably fine for a crow pleasing beer.
---12-7-13--
- This time I used malted wheat (not flaked) but had to sub UK chocolate for another 4oz of regular chocolate. Ah well.
- Spices: 8oz cocoa nibs, 4oz of med toast french oak soaked in whisky and rum (I divided those up into 2 equal bowls and put plastic wrap around the top. Will extract for 2 weeks then add to primary and let it sit for another week in the fermentor.
- OG: 1.059 (refractometer)
- 12-17-2013 Added chocolate & wood. FG: 1.016 (hydro)
- Tasting notes: Oak chips were too overwhelming. Man, chips suck. And 8oz is waaay too much. Half that would have been better.

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: Ferment at 62°F for two weeks, transfer to secondary and condition cool (50-55°F) for 3-4 weeks. Bottle and age at 50°F for 3 weeks.
The caramel and dark malt notes are well balanced by Goldings hop flavor and bitterness. There is a mild syrupy, molasses aftertaste that is pleasant, especially with the roasty notes.
