♦ SESSION NOTES:
United Kingdom - Crystal 45L was changed out to US Crystal 40 (Phantom).
American Munich Light 10L was changed out to Best Malz (German) Munich Malt (Phantom).
Changed first addition hop from 0.9 to 1.0 oz.
Phantom didn't have WLP810 in stock so San Francisco WLP840 American Lager was used as substitute!
Started with 8.00 gallons of water. Too much water. 13.5 pds of grain did not seem to absorb as much after sparging. had to boil extra half hours to get it down to 5.5 gals final amount. 8.00 gallons will be the max. Changed again. End of Brew: left with 5 gallons. Had to add 1/2 gallons for 5.50.

♦♦ Use 3 Vials of San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810 @ 62° CHANGE! 2 vials of WLP840 American Ale Yeast will be used.

WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast.
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.
Optimum Ferment Temp. 58-65°F (14-18°C)

WLP840 American Lager This yeast is used to produce American style lagers. Dry and clean with a very slight apple fruitiness. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal. Attenuation: 75-80% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 50-55°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES:

♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.

Notes: We added about 1.5-2lb of fresh chopped peaches per gallon to the primary fermentation just before pitching the yeast. Peaches were frozen for a few days prior to brew and left to thaw out the morning of the brewday. One batch had skin-on peaches, and the other was peeled. Both turned out excellent. The skinless was a bit more crisp, but the skin-on was a bit more peachy, hazy and overall more fruity.

Also used 3 packets of yeast

Notes: Brewed with David Whitehurst on April 9th from approximately 10:45 until 12:50 pm. Mashed in for 45 min, sparged and started the boil. Added half the Cascade at 60 and the rest at 30 along with half the ginger. At 10 minutes added the zest of three limes and their juice at 10 and all of the Citra hops, * Flame out.

* Forgot the Irish moss (seaweed) which may result in cloudy beer, or may not. I will decant and lager for another week or two and decent a second time.

Cooled with copper coil and cold well water. Pitched starter well working already. Gassing started approximately 6 hours later.

4/11/17 - Checked beer in fermenter. Air lock very active more so than the first 24 hours.

Racked off beer 4/23/2017 at gravity 1.002 -1.004
Very dry to the tongue with high citrus and ginger notes.
ABV Approximately 8.5%

I will bottle in a week. Fermentation almost done. Beer has slight effervescence..

Bottled 5.7 gallons on 5/12/2017
