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
Drank 8oz in the bucket.

ABV 12.33% as of bottling.
Final ABV 13-14%

The taste is has more citrus and ginger this year
Kick ass ABV now.

♦ 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: The Mash
• Heat 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of water to 160°F (71°C).
• Add grain (This is called “mashing in.” Take note of jargon. Or don’t).
• Mix gently with spoon or spatula until mash has consistency of oatmeal.
Add water if too dry or hot. Temperature will drop to ~150°F (66°C).
• Cook for 60 minutes at 144-152°F (63-68°C). Stir every 10 minutes, and use
your thermometer to take temperature readings from multiple locations.
• You likely don’t need to apply heat constantly. Get it up to temperature,
then turn the heat off. Monitor, stir, and adjust accordingly to keep in range.
• After 60 minutes, heat to 170°F (77°C) while stirring constantly (“Mashing
Out”).

The Sparge
• Heat additional 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of water to 170°F (77°C).
• Set up your “lauter tun” (a strainer over a pot).
• Carefully add the hot grain mash to the strainer, collecting the liquid that
passes through.
• This liquid is called “wort” (pronounced “wert”). It will be your beer.
• Slowly and evenly pour 170°F (77°C) water over the mash to extract the
grain’s sugars.
• You want to collect 5 quarts (4.75 liters) of wort. You will lose about 20%
to evaporation later on, so you want to start with a bit more than you’ll end
with.
• Re-circulate wort through grain once.

The Boil
• In a pot, heat wort until it boils.
• Keep boiling until you’ve hit the “hot break” (Wort will foam - you may
need to reduce heat slightly so it doesn’t boil over.)
• Stir occasionally. All you want is a light boil – too hot and you lose
fermentable sugars and volume.
• The boil will last 60 minutes. Start your timer and add in the rest of the
ingredients at these times:
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at start of boil.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 15 minutes.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 30 minutes.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 45 minutes.
- Add 1/6 Northern Brewer Hops at 55 minutes.
- At 60 minutes turn off heat, add remaining Northern Brewer Hops.
• Twenty percent of the wort will have evaporated in this step leaving you
with 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of wort. If your boil was a bit high, the surface area
of your pot extra large, or you brewed on a really hot day, you may have
less than the full amount. Don’t worry – you just reduced your beer a bit
too much, but you can add more water in the next step.

Fermentation
• Place brew pot in an ice bath until it cools to 70°F (21°C).
• Once cooled, place strainer over funnel and pour your beer into the
glass fermenter. Yeast needs oxygen. The strainer helps aerate your wort
and clarify your beer (as well as catch any sediment from going into the
fermenter). Add tap water to bring wort up to 1 Gallon mark if level is low.
• “Pitch” yeast. (Toss half of the packet in.)
• Shake aggressively. You’re basically waking up the yeast and getting more
air into the wort.
• Attach sanitized screw-top stopper to bottle. Slide rubber tubing no more
than 1” (2.5 cm) into the stopper and place the other end in small bowl of
sanitizer. You’ve just made a “blow-off tube”. It allows CO2 to escape.
• Let sit for two or three days or until vigorous bubbling subsides. This is
when fermentation is highest. You may notice bubbles and foam at the
top of the beer. After bubbling calms down, clean tubing and ready your
airlock.
• Sanitize, then re-assemble airlock, filling up to line with sanitizer.
• Insert airlock into hole in stopper.
• Keep in a dark place for two weeks without disturbing other than to show
off to friends. (If beer is still bubbling, leave sitting until it stops.)
• In the meantime, drink beer with self-closing swing tops, or ask for empties
at a bar that has some. If you have a bottle capper and caps, you can save
two six packs of non-twistoff beers instead.

Two Weeks Later: Bottling
• Thoroughly rinse bottles with water, removing any sediment.
• Mix remaining sanitizer with water.
• Fill each bottle with a little sanitizer and shake. Empty after two minutes,
rinse with cold water and dry upside down.
• Dissolve 3 tablespoons honey with 1/2 cup water. Pour into a sanitized pot.
You will be siphoning your beer into the same pot in the next steps.
- Carbonation comes from adding sugar when bottling, so if you filled
your jug with less than the full gallon in the last step, use less honey
when bottling. Using the full amount can result in your beer being
over-carbonated.
• Siphoning (It all happens pretty fast. You may want to practice on a pot of
water a few times.) To see it in action first, watch the How to Bottle video at
brooklynbrewshop.com/instructions.
A. Attach open tubing clamp to tubing.
B. Fill tubing with sanitizer.
C. Attach sanitized tubing to the short curved end of your sanitized
racking cane. Attach the black tip to the other end - it will help
prevent sediment from getting sucked up. It will probably be a snug
fit, but you can get it on there.
D. Pinch tubing clamp closed.
E. Remove screw-cap stopper and place racking cane into jug, just
above the sediment at the bottom (“trub”).
F. Lower end of tubing not connected to racking cane into sink.
Suction will force beer up and through the racking cane and tubing.
Open tubing clamp, let sanitizer flow into sink until beer just starts
to flow out of the tubing, then clamp shut. Open clamp on tubing,
allowing beer to flow into pot with sugar solution. Tilt jug when beer
level is getting low, but be careful in not sucking up the trub.
• Siphon beer from pot into bottles, pinching tube clamp to stop flow after
each bottle.
• Close bottles.
• Store in a dark place for 2 weeks.

Two Weeks Later: Enjoying
• Put beers in the fridge the night before you drink them.
• Drink. Share with friends if you’re the sharing type

Notes: Mash in to achieve temperature of 158 °F (70 °C). This temperature allows alpha amylase to be active but inhibits beta amylase so the resulting beer is slightly sweeter. Hold 30 minutes for conversion. Raise to 168 °F (76 °C) for mashout. Hold 10 minutes. Sparge with enough water to collect 6 gallons (23 L).

Add lactose powder and first hop addition at start of boil. Boil 60 minutes total, adding the Delta hops with 15 minutes remaining.

Chill to 64 °F (18 °C), aerate, and then pitch yeast. Ferment at 64 °F (18 °C) through primary, then let rise to 66°F (19 °C). Add the maple syrup when primary is slowed but still has minor activity. It will ferment the sugar but retain some aromatics. Condition for two weeks then rack to bottles or keg at 2.3 volumes.
