Notes: The Basics:
I developed this recipe for a 6 gallon batch knowing that 1/2 a gallon will be left in the pot to avoid as much trub as possible. That said you will be fermenting 5.5 gallons.
All rest temperatures are in the tun, not strike water. You will need to calculate your strike water based on your grain temperature and type of mash tun you are using.
I use yeast starters in all of my recipes with what I think are excellent results. For my starters I compose the starter wort to closely approximate the sugar profile of the target batch. This helps the yeast develop the best cell membranes to ferment the final wort with little to no adjustment. I typically use a 1 quart starter for gravities 60 and above, and half quart for gravities below 60. I allow the starter to ferment a full 3 days to allow glycogen reserve buildup and settling. Then I pour out the first little bit of starter, pour the middle bit into a glass, then pour out the rest leaving mostly only the yeast cake. Then I smell and taste the bit in the glass to ensure there are no infections lurking. Sanitation is paramount.
The Beer:
I've brewed this batch a number of times. It is not at the high end of the Imperial/Double IPA spectrum, but it gives the drinker all the in-your-face hop aroma and flavor one could want, backed by balanced malt flavor and body. The Warrior hops are the cleanest high alpha hops I've found. Using them in the FWH and the boil set the foundation of the hop character of this beer. And while the remaining additions are all Centennial hop additions, because of the times and the fact that Centennial is already a complex hop, you get all the complexity you need. If you want to swap out for the other American "C's" (Citra, Crystal, Cascade, etc...) all of them will work well, but give this a go first.
Give this bad boy 10 days in the primary at 64-65 degrees, then rack to a secondary. Let the beer condition for 2 more weeks in the secondary, then add 1 oz. each of Centennial & Willamette whole hops for 1 additional week of conditioning with dry hops. As an alternative to 2 ounces of whole hops in the secondary, you can leach/rinse the Willamette hops with a small amount of boiled water or even better a boiled bottle or 2 of beer. I use this approach to add 1/4 ounce of Polyclar 10 with the boiled beer.

pitched 1 us05 directly into 23L

still activity fermentation with krausen on d7

gravity was at 4°P, diffrent sample already at 3°P

nevertheless racked to glass-bottle and added roselare

krausen fomres again immediatly

how will this turn out...sour enough..??

by d10 all yeast dropped in glas sample fg =4°P measured = 3.4-3.2°P, this is really a bit low, should have stopped at 5°P

Notes: In a bowl, mixed together 3 Oz. Amarillo, 3 Oz. Warrior, 3 Oz. Simcoe and blended together. Made 40 Dixie cups with 6.3 grams in each cup. Added 1 cup every 3 minutes for all of 120 minute boil.

Divided Dextrose into 28 individual 12 oz ziplock bags. After transfer to conical, started adding the second day, twice daily (12 oz in the morning and 12 oz in late afternoon) for 14 days. I had a 1 gallon pitcher and whisk sitting in a bucket of StarSan. Would dump 2 quarts from the conical and add 12 oz of Dextrose, then pour back into the conical. Towards the end, would see how fermentation was doing before adding. If fermentation slowed, re-think before you add more sugar as once added the final beer may be sweet.

1/2 gallon of wort was added to the high gravity yeast to make a starter. Second yeast was added on day 5 of fermentation.

Oxygen was added once daily for 4 days. 30 seconds @ 1200 psi with 0.2 micron SS Stone.

Dry hopping: Added 2 oz. Amarillo, 2 oz. Warrior and 2 oz. Simcoe to a bowl and blend. 28 ziplock backs were filled with 6 grams of hops each. 1 bag was added with each evening addition of dextrose and continued for a total of 28 additions or 4 weeks.

Fermentation was on the cold side, roughly 66-70 degrees. Lots of heat from the yeast.

OF ended at 1.050. Let sit for a few days on yeast to help finish fermentation. Stopped adding sugar on day 13. Total dextrose added as 21.5 pounds. Re-calculated OG was 1.200.

Bottled in 6 oz champagne splits, no addional yeast or sugar added. No carbonation. Final % with high gravity hydrometer was 20.7% abv.

Beer has aged nicely and a wonderful treat for on a cold night or for a beer tasting event.

Notes: Copy of Spring Kölsch, same grain bill, totally different hop profile, going for more fruity flavor with Citra and Crystal hops.

The mango aroma and flavor from the citra hops should be a really interesting match for the honey and smokey notes the Kölsch yeast imparts.

This is a good beer. Great with Pizza or a Hamburger on a hot day. Grandma liked it!!! :)

Notes: This is a single infusion mash. Mix the crushed grains with 5 gallons of 165F strike water to stabilize the mash at 153F. Hold for 45 minutes, vorlauf for 15 minutes and begin sparge. Run off into kettle to achieve volume and pre-boil gravity of 1.049 SG. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops and nutrients according to schedule. Turn of heat, give the wort a stir for about 1 minute to create a whirlpool and let it spin and settle out for 15 minutes before beginning to chill. Aerate & pitch at 65F and let warm to 68F. Ferment for 1 week or until fermentation has died down. Rack to a secondary vessel and cool to 60F. Condition for 4 days, add dry hops, condition 10 more days for a total of 2 weeks. Bottle or keg.

Notes: Get 8lbs of strawberries. Crush them and then freeze them until primary fermentation is done. Once fermentation is complete thaw the strawberries and place them at the bottom of your sterilized secondary. Rack the beer from the primary into the secondary. Wait 3 weeks then bottle.

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.
