Notes: Started batch w/ 7 gal+
Hit slightly above 160° for steep slightly longer at 50 minutes. Mashed out” at 155° with great color!
Re lit the fire and brought to a boil, added extract and mittelfrüher.
Added extract and bittering hops before boil.
Knockout and chill. Slightly over time. Took about 30 minutes to chill. Really need a new chilling system.
Gravity off target at 1.034
I am not sure why my gravities are always low.
Did not read the instructions on the yeast. Did not sanitize the packet, did not break the nutrient. We will see if fermentation starts and goes. Worst case I get another packet of yeast and actually follow the instructions.
12 hours in, no fermentation yet. Optimal temp and dark conditions. Will update this evening.
Fermentation started about 36 to 40 hours after pitching and is very vigorous. Topped off the airlock.
Checked AM, krausen filled the airlock. Sanitized a new airlock and swapped out. Fermentation still going strong.
Issues with carboy bung created the lack of a tight airlock. Transfered to secondary ~1 week and 2 days after strong fermentation. Good sediment in primary fermenter, and falvor target is on. Did not notice any off flavors from the makeshift cling wrap seal that was necessary to the top of the carboy (after two bungs went for a swim). Gravity measured in line w/ final predicted gravity.
Small amount of fermentation was present in secondary after adding 1.5 pounds of frozen & warmed blueberries. this occured within 12 hours. Placed in moslin bag for secondary.
Will check gravity in a week and re-taste, but predict that this will be a good summer beer just over 4% when finished.
*Changes for next time: I would have added 3.3 pounds of Munic LME that I had on hand, and a second packet of yeast.
Update 6/16: gravity checked in at 1.0 putting alcohol somewhere around 4.85%. Faint berry taste but not overly strong. Nor overtly blueberry. Should drink a lot like a raddler. Will keg on 6/20. |

Notes: 1. Mash in @ 117 F with 3.5 gal (frulic acid rest) 10-15 minutes
2. Mix and pull 1/3 of the mash (with max grains but not min water) to start two different mashes...
Main Mash (2/3 of the mash) -- "m"
Decoct mash (1/3 of the mash) -- "d"
1m. Add 1.7 gallons of boiling water --> 150 F
1d. While m sits, heat to 158 while stirring constantly and hold for 20, then boil for 10 minutes.
2. Combine m and d, and hold for 10 minutes. The dream is 155 F.
3. Mash out at 170 F with 2.25 gallons water. 10 minutes
4. Sparge with 1.25 gals at 170.

Notes: This is an amped-up version of a Dark Mild recipe, kicking it between the goalposts of a brown ale. I added a half pound more base malt and a half pound more sugar. This way even if the efficiency falls way short it could be called a mild. I hope to hit that 55-65% range and make it a nice Brown.
**Brew Day Update 1/1/2019: The double crush did the trick. Hit 83%. This is now an American Brown.**
BIAB mash-in at 160-ish and shoot for about 155, to render a less fermentable wort but more body. The extra half pound of candy sugar will offset the unfermentable dextrins.
**Brew Day Update 1/1/2019: mashed at 159 and it fell to 150. Bumped up to 155. Mashout bumped to 170. Hoisted and drained bag and squeezed a little with paddle and spoon while the kettle reached a boil. **
*Add 0.75 oz hops in hop sock at start of boil [Hop sock is pointless, won't use again]
*Add remainder of hops direct to kettle at 25 minutes left.
*Add Whirlfloc tab at last 15 minutes of boil, then add chiller
*Add Candi Sugar at 5 minutes left in boil.
*Chill to below 70F and pitch yeast directly to wort
With the Nottingham dry yeast the ferment should be aggressive and complete within 7 days.
**Ferment Update 1/4/2019: Pitched at around 2 pm on 1/1; saw activity within 12 hours. Fermentation was steady for 3 days at 69-63F... activity has now slowed down. **
Once SG is stable, Transfer to keg and force carbonate to about 2.3 volumes CO2 maximum using the standard temp/pressure setting. Dial in the parameters and do not dispense or off-gas the keg! Just leave it to carb and condition and it should be ready to pour after 7 days in the keg. Don't resort to fast carbonation techniques and risk excessive carbonation.
You will be able to consume this beer within 14 days of brewing. It should be mildly bittersweet, slightly estery, with nutty and toasty malt notes. Due to high gravity, it may need some time to smooth out. |
