Notes:
Based on info from Alltech Lexington Brewery, this is Kentucky Ale aged in oak. Below are the percentages of the grains: 78% American 2row, 8% Caramel 40, 8% Carapils, 6% Malted Wheat. Hopped with East Kent Goldings and Fuggles and fermented with an English Ale yeast strain. Age the beer for 6 weeks in freshly emptied bourbon barrels. Your best bet would be to soak a charred oak spiral in good bourbon and then stick that in your aging vessels.
I added 1 oz Black Patent to get color where I wanted it. I will be adding 4 oz of toasted oak and 12 oz of bourbon to secondary. Age 6 weeks in Secondary.

Notes: 24 hrs to the boil (2) Campden tablets were added to kill any wild yeast.
12 hrs later 1/2 tsp of Pectic Enzyme was added for clarity (1/2 tsp under the recommended dose)
Heat water to 160(F) steep grain for 30min and remove
Add LME and brown sugar
Boil 60 min. @ 30 min add hopps
Actual O.G. turned out to be 1.076, with the actual volume around 2 3/4 gal or just under the 10 L mark on the bucket.
The cane sugar above was supposed to be a representative of the fresh pressed cider on points per gallon (PPG). The Fresh Cider had an O.G. of 1.046.(unknown on how to determine the PPG, so I used the above sub as found on an online forum.)

Notes: For the strawberry addition, I use strawberries that I pick fresh. I keep them frozen until I'm ready to add them.
When it's time for the addition, I remove them from freezer, cut off the tops and place them in a sanitized bucket. I then rack my crash-cooled beer to the bucket, place in refrigerator and wait a week or so.
I then rack straight to the keg and enjoy! |

HOPS:
.9 oz = 26 g, Progress, ≈6.3% AA, 60 minutes
.9 oz = 26 g, Bramling Cross, ≈6.5% AA, 30 minutes
.5 oz = 15 g, Fuggles, ≈5% AA, at flame-out, steep until cooled
.5 oz = 15 g, Goldings, ≈5% AA, at flame-out, steep until cooled

Notes: Build up starter of lacto with Jarrow Ideal Bowel Support Probiotics. I used 10 capsules in a starter (3 pints water, 1.5 cups DME). I let it sour on a heat pad for a couple of days, chilled and decanted liquid, repitched lacto into another starter. Let it sour a few more days, save slurry for brew day.
Acidulated malt of 0.75 lb assumes starting with 8 gallons of mash RO water with a pH of 5.5. These quantities of water assumptions and grist are targeting a mash pH of 5.3.
After sparge is complete, drop wort pH to 4.5 using food grade lactic or citric acid. First experience: I had 14 after transferring back to MLT (sight glass showed 13, but an additional gallon in HERMS coil, pump, hoses, etc.) and pH was 5.3. I added 13 grams of citric acid, and this dropped the pH to 4.7.
Bring to boil and boil for 3 minutes. Add enough water in HLT to cover HERMS coil, and bring to temp to 90. Chill wort to temp of 90 while pumping wort back to the MLT. Minimize aeration. When HLT is holding 90, pitch the lacto into the wort. Recirculate wort through the HERMS coil, and check pH regularly. Once wort reaches 3.5 pH, transfer to BK. Boil and hop per schedule. Chill to 80 degrees, pitch WLP 644 from decanted starter without aerating. Hold temp at 75 during fermentation.
NOTE: Lacto plantarum works VERY quickly at 90 degrees. In my first experience, I started souring at 115 and progress was very slow... from 4.7 to 4.4-4.5 in 24 hours. I dropped the temp to 90, and 12 hours later, it was down to 3.7. I then raised the temp to 120 to slow the souring process while I was at work. 9 hours later, the pH was down to 3.5-3.6. I boiled at this point. |

Notes: 9 pakker Lallemand Diamond Lager rehydreres i 1L vann. Rehydrer i temperert vann på ca 22c. Dryss gjær i vann, la hvile i 15 min, rør lett rundt, la så hvile i 30-40 min (husk å dekke over skål med gladpack/sølvpapir) - sett.
Gjær kan pitches på 13c - Tilfør Brewers Clarex - sammen med gjær - for å få klar og fint pils.
Gjær ølen på 10c i 18 dager, deretter 15c i 3 dager.
Kjør ned til CC, la stå på 2c i 24-48 timer.
Tapp - lagre i 6-8 uker, ølen blir bedre med kald lagring i 3-4 mnd |

Notes: 1) Heat water to 164 degrees then remove from heat and stir in grain (in a 5 gallon painter mesh bag, use clips to keep bag up in kettle) temp will drop about 10 degrees after adding grain. Let sit for 60min stirring occasionally. Boil some extra water in another container while awaiting mash completion. After 60 min, mash complete.
2) Remove grain bag. Get as much out as possible :)
3) Boil. Upon start of boil add 1oz of your preferred hops in mini-mesh bag.
4) After 45min of boil, add 1oz your preferred hops in second bag. Boil is done at 60 minutes. Remove hops bags.
5) Cool Wort to 70 degrees. I did an ice bath, it's helpful to have a few bags of ice from the store handy for this. Once Wort is at 70 degrees pour into fermenter. Raise level to 5.5 gallons with preboiled good water (if it has dropped below that). Pitch preferred yeast. Seal top, shake fermentor to oxygenate yeast. Allow to ferment at 70 degrees. After 36 hours of very active fermenting, it ended up with a couple of inch yeast cake at the bottom so I transferred the wort into the secondary fermenter to get it off of the yeast cake and add flavor. Once it's in the secondary fermenter add 1 quart of raspberry concentrate. Secondary fermentation was slow and steady (1-3 gurgles per minute). Alot of the stuff I mentioned seasoned brewers already know, but some of these details were things I did not know.
This batch of beer turned out great! Good Luck with yours! :)
