Notes: Vanilla Beans, split and soaked in enough vodka to cover, for
2 weeks before bottling or kegging. Pour vanilla beans and
vodka through a strainer into the bottling bucket or keg.
Alternately, you can add the split vanilla beans directly to
the fermenter 4 days before bottling or kegging.
Brewer’s Notes: This recipe is from Jeremy Railey, who won first place at the
Indiana Brewer’s Cup in the Specialty category with this beer! Jeremy prefers
to zest the skin of an orange or two and freeze it overnight before brew day.
When he brews this beer, he will zest the skin of another orange directly into
the boil at 30 minutes left in the boil, then split the orange open and drop it
directly in the wort for the rest of the boil. He will put the frozen zest in at the
end of the boil. We have included sweet orange peel as an alternative to this,
but if you would like, you can try to brew it his way! He also uses Mexican
vanilla beans, as they give a smooth vanilla cream character to the beer. He
will soak the split beans in enough vodka to cover them for 2 weeks prior to
bottling or kegging, then strain the beans from the vodka extract directly into
the keg or bottling bucket. This is a delicious beer with a lot of fun variables
that can be brewed again and again |

Notes: 2024-02-11 People still remember this beer a few years later. The boil down on the stove of a gallon of wort makes a huge difference. Gives it a huge amount of flavor, be careful not to burn it. (BrewDay Edit: boiled down in a large pan for about 40 minutes, got it to about 220ºF when it looked like a thick pancake syrup and had darkened considerably) Because it wasn't too far, it redissolved and didn't burn to the bottom of the kettle, lots of stirring.
I'm lazy this time and grabbed 3 packs of OYL-015 Scottish Ale instead of doing a starter with WLP-028. Going to triple the amount of yeast nutrients and oxygenate on setting 1 (Blichmann regulator) for a few minutes to get it good.
Also adding 5 g ascorbate to mash for oxidation protection (gosh this doesn't make sense with oxygenation, but it seems to work in NEIPA so why not everywhere too?)
Also, also, the original had a "light and malty" water profile so I switched it up to Edinburgh. Not paying attention to the carbonate, but needed slaked lime to get the calcium up, which means I need more acid to balance it. Aiming for a mash pH of ~5.4.
Created a 2 L 1.060 Pils DME starter (1L in each 1 gallon jugs) and applied the Shaken Not Stirred approach.
https://www.experimentalbrew.com/blogs/saccharomyces/shaken-not-stirred-stir-plate-myth-buster
Starter:
342 g Briess Pils DME
2L distilled water
one ball of CaCl2
pinch of Ca2SO4
pinch of NaCl (table)
pinch of yeast nutrient
1 Pack of WLP028
7 pellets of EKG
Boiled then cooled to 70ºF with ice water bath in sink
~18 hours @ room temp (~60-70ºF)
Post mash, pull 1 gallon of liquid and boil that down in a shallow frying pan while you boil the main pot. This will create massive MRPs and flavor. |

Mash at 149°F (65°C) for 60 minutes or until conversion is complete. Add half of the water salt additions to the mash and the rest at sparge. Add the FWH hops during runoff, immediately after vorlauf, and allow them to steep in the hot wort as the mash is sparged.
Boil for 90 minutes. Whirlpool for 40 minutes (from start to rest) following the hops schedule.
Pitch the yeast and ferment at 67°F (19°C) for 2–3 days, then allow the temperature to rise slowly to 73°F (23°C) by the end of fermentation to ensure full attenuation. When fermentation reaches 1.5–2° Plato from terminal gravity (1.020–1.022), add the first dry-hop addition. About 3 days later, drop temp to 14C and dump sediemtn, add the second dry-hop addition for another 3 days.
Cold crash to 1C and then dump sediment .
Package at 2.6 volumes of CO2 and consume fresh. |
