Notes: Kegged 12/18/2023 with a final gravity of 1.015. Original gravity was about 1.048 so ABV should be about 4.33%

Standard jasmine tea guidelines are 2 grams per 8 oz so 64 grams (2.25 oz) per 2 gallons. IN THIS CASE I USED 91 GRAMS OF JASMINE GREEN TEA AND STEEPED IT IN 4 CUPS OF THE WORT ONCE IT REACHED 160-175F. THIS WAS STEEPED FOR 3 MINUTES THEN THE TEA WAS REMOVED.
Tea added in the last 5 minutes of the boil.
THIS DIDN'T WORK. BEFORE KEGGING ADDED 72 GRAMS OF MORE JASMINE GREEN TEA DIRECTLY INTO THE WORT AND LET IT "COLD BREW."

Malt must be added to the rice during gelatinization process. Malt should be equal to 20% of of the weight if the grain bill. In this case it would be 0.34lbs

Only 2 gallons was heated for this mash. This was a guess based on the amount of liquid retained in the gelatinized rice that made up 44% of the grain bill.

Strike at 140F and hold temp for 20 minutes.

Raise temp to 150F for 30 minutes.

Raise to 168 and hold for 10 minutes.

Notes: Yummy! Extra hoppy, which is fine, was thinking as good as the previous year's Honey Pale Ale was, it was a bit on the low side for hop flavor.

This batch is more assertive in the hops, nice golden color. OG and FG were within a hundredth of a point of predicted...WOOHOO!!

The Safale S-04 generated an interesting yeast cake on the bottom of the fermenting bucket. It was thick and more solid than any other I can remember, and it looked almost like a pancake with a spongy (pock-marked) appearance. It stayed intact for the longest time during the bottling process.

Fermented for 14 days at 71° the entire time, in a 6.5 gal plastic bucket. OG was 1.073 and FG was 1.017 for 7.35% calculated ABV. Right on target! This was the first time I tried bottling with shrink-wrap labels and they worked beautifully.

Notes: BIAB Procedure

Brew365 says strike temp should be 164. Based on last time, I might adjust downward to 160 to reach mash temp of 152. Edit: I didn't factor in mash thickness. Last time, I had a mash thickness of 1.9 qts/lb! Way too high, no wonder the temp didnt drop as much. This time, I am shooting for 1.5, so the calculator should be accurate.

Parameters:
Batch size 3.2 g
Trub loss 0.3 g
Mash thickness 1.5qts/lb
Grain temp 70 f
Wort shrinkage 4%
Grain absorption 0.1g/lb
Boil off 15%

1. Start with strike water of 8.5L (2.25G) @ 163F.
2. Put in 6 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 152F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.1G/lb, should end up with 1.65G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 10L (2.6G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.3G of pre-boil wort.
8. Begin boil as usual, adding 1oz of Saaz @ 60 minutes.
9. Add spices @ 5 minutes.

I should end up with about 3.6G of post-boil wort. Accounting for trub loss (0.3G) and wort shrinkage (0.14G), I should end up with 3.2G in bottles.

Recipe

Simple blonde ale recipe, actually given to me by OBK. I am a little worried about CaraFoam taking up 16% of the grist, but I don't have time to go out and buy other grains. It might be a little sweet, with really good head retention. We'll see.

Only one hop addition so the spices are the main focus. Same with the yeast - very neutral and clean yeast.

Apparently a little bit of cardamom goes a long way, so I wont use that much in the boil. Coriander and bitter orange peel are for balance and fruitiness, which I think Mom will like. After primary fermentation, I will add more cardamom and other spices if I feel the aroma isn't quite there.

Pitched yeast @ 23C. Swamp Cooler water read 22C. OG of 1.058. Adjusted for temp thats 1.059. Wow. That's a brewhouse efficiency of 85%. Now it should be 5.5%....I'm not complaining.

Brew date: 07/17.

07/24: Gravity read 1.016 - it has finished fermentation! It is a nice straw yellow colour. Notes of cardamom and citrus on the nose. Also rather grassy. Tastes like a sweeter version of blonde ale. Maybe too sweet...hopefully that dies down. Overall, it tastes like this could be a really good beer for Mom. I won't add anything to the bucket for aroma. This will be my first time cold crashing as well.

07/29: Bottling Day

I accidentally froze the bucket. I'm not sure how this will affect the beer/carbonation levels, but for now, I have just let it thaw at room temp. Given the fact that I cold crashed, some of the C02 that was in the headspace may have been re-absorbed into the beer. To make 2.4 Volumes of C02 with 2.7 G of beer @ 68F, the calculator says to add 2.24 oz of corn sugar. I will round this down to an even 2.0 oz to make sure I dont over-carb, which has been a problem in the past.

Oops, not enough corn sugar left. Will use table sugar instead. I think I will actually have 2.8G of beer, so I will boil 2.1 oz of table sugar to make 2.4 Volumes of Co2.

2.6 gallon to bottle - 0.6 gallons of trub loss!?!

First bottle on 08/07 - 7 days conditioning and 2 days in fridge. Obviously not fully carbed yet. It shows with no head, although some bubbles. Aroma is just about where I want it. The taste is a little sweeter than I wanted - probably because of the extra carafoam. Dry would have been preferred. It is quite refreshing when super cold though, great for a summer beer. Note: This is bottle marked "1", which means that it was one of the first 4 to be bottled.
