Notes: ** Generally, I would use all Weyermann Barke Pilsner with some Munich Malt and maybe a bit of carahell. This was kind of a "use up the last of several sacks of grain" beer. That is why it is a weird combo of grains.
** This recipe is scaled to make 9 gallons of beer in a 10 gallon pot. I start with 9.5 gallons, boil it down to 8.5 gallons. I ferment in two 5 gallon corny kegs. Each Corny keg already has 1.25 gallons of preboiled, treated, chilled water. I brew the beer above gravity, bitterness, etc. knowing I will dilute it back down when I add it to the fermenter that already contains water. This allows me to brew 9 gallons of finished beer from one brew session. I usually only use this strategy when making lagers as it is nice to finish with more beer from the longer process and I can also fit 4 corny kegs in my fermentation freezer.
* I point this out because the volumes and amounts will likely look strange if you are trying to brew it. I would recommend going off of the percentages and scaling it to your system/volumes.

Notes: To reduce the oils brought in by the shredded coconut, I covered with paper towels and baked in the oven for about 20 minutes on each side @ 300F and patted down with a paper towel again before putting in the fermenter. Not worried about infection at that point due to the beer already being alcoholic and the paper towel + coconut having been baked at 300F.

Super sessionable, great summer beer.

Notes: Long boil to increase melanoidins. Plan to convert this to Eisbock.
Finished 1030, 6 points higher that I wanted but yeast died at 9.4% ABV. But hops higher than style to compensate.
Took a Helles Bock and blended 20/80 to lessen sweetness of dopplebock.

Notes: 11L for strike water accounting for 2.2L of grain absorption. (Rule-0.6G for 6 lbs of grain). Assuming 8.8L after.

After grains were placed in strike water, it was 158F - way too high. Added cold water from tap to get it down to 151.3 @ 52 minutes. Then, 151.0 @ 40, 150.8 @ 30, 149.0 @ 20, 147.9 @ 10, 146.3 @ 5. Mashed out for 10 minutes @ 168. Dunk sparge for 10 minutes @ 170.

Estimated 6.2L for dunk sparge, but actually got 8L. This made 16.8 (4.4G) in pre-boil Wort. SG was 1.034 @ 126F which equates to 1.044 actual SG. Apparently this is 86.83% pre-boil efficiency. Really high if it is true. On second thought, maybe my grain absorption was much higher. If I correct my pre-boil wort to 4.0 gallons, I get 78.22% - pretty much spot on with post-boil efficiency.

Assuming typical boil off rate is 14% it makes more sense. 14% of 4 gallons is 0.56 gallons, which roughly comes to 3.5 gallons in the fermenter.

Post-boil OG was 1.050! Pitched yeast @ 22C @ 9pm and will begin adding ice bottles at 7am in the morning. Reading in the ice bath is 20C, so will assume +2 for the fermenter, plus the traditional 3C for 1.050 OG and for the increased temps from ferm.

With 3.5G (maybe 3.4) of post-boil wort @ 1.050 OG, I have a brewhouse efficiency of 77.78% (or 75.56%). Why is it less than pre-boil efficiency?

First bottle on 07/28. Lots of head, although it dissipates after some sips. First impression is that it is very carbonated and sweet. Aroma has huge banana notes which will hopefully die down with age. This is probably because of the high and variable ferm temps. Does this mainly affect the aroma and not the flavour? I should also check my carbing process next time...

Side-by-side: 08/03 (Granville Island Hefe)

App: Mine is a straw gold colour, GI has a distinct orange hue. Both have same level of haziness and mine shows greater signs of carbonation.

Smell: Mine smells predominately like rotten bananas with a little bubblegum. I can chalk this up to the higher and variable ferm temps. GI is much more pleasent - citrus and banana, also with bubblegum.

Taste: Mine tastes better than it smells. Sweet and carbonated. Light banana notes. Gi is also very sweet but less carbonated. Much more of a bubblegum taste. Both are quite different but good in their own ways.

MF: Both have light body with medium high levels of carbonation. However, GI is a little bit heavier on the tounge.

Overall: I have to side with GI, mainly because of the aroma, given everything else equal.

Notes: Brewed very successfully on 04/23/16. Pitched decanted yeast at 61 degrees.
Gravity read 12.75 brix (1.0495) which equates to 75% efficiency (almost 76)- initially aimed at 71% - Double milled grain.
Mashed at 150 exact at dough in, and 149 @30 mins.
The water loss calculation of .14 can probably be brought down to .135 since there was still a substantial amount of wort in the cooler as I lifted the bag.
Overall, went great!
***9 hours later raised temp to 65 due to not activity.***
04/24/16: 15 hours after raising the temp to 65 and there was lots of fermentation activity. Turned down temp to 64.
***11 hours later brought down temp to 63. There was krausen ejected and a lot of activity - had to clean the blow off tube as I was afraid it would blow the lid - seemed a bit clogged***

04/26/16: beer was at 61 degrees and still bubbling but a lot slower. I took off the cover and see that there's still some krausen ontop and lots of yeast still in suspension and some smell of sulfur.
Meter @72 degrees measured 6 brix (1.0106 @4.9%).
Temp was raised to 66 degrees in hopes of giving it a d-rest. FG is expected around 1.008-1.009
04/17/16: Some bubbling still, and temp was at 65 degrees.

04/30/16: @67 degrees and 5.9 brix. Taste no diacetyl, but there is smell of sulfur. (1.0103 @5%). Not bad. Cannot taste any hop presence.

05/05/16: kegged today. No sulfur smell anymore! Did not have much of a smell at all, and the yeast had dropped and compacted to the bottom.
Measured 5.7 brix @69 degrees (1.0096 @ 5.1%). Nice! 79% apparent attenuation.

Directions:

Mash grains at 151-152° F (66-67° C) for an hour or until starch conversion is complete.
Mash out at 170° F (77° C) and sparge. Collect 8 gallons (30 L) of runoff, stir in dextrose,
and bring to a boil. Add hops as indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort

to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter
and aerate well. Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack
to secondary. Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then
add the second set. Age five more days then bottle or keg the beer.

Extract Substitution:

Substitute 6.5 lb (3.0 kg) of light dry malt extract for two-row malt. Due to the large
hop bill for this recipe, a full wort boil is recommended. Steep grains in 1 gallon (3.8 L)
of water at 165° F (74° C) for 30 minutes, then remove and rinse grains with hot water.
Stir in dextrose and top up kettle to 8 gallons (30 L), and bring to a boil. Add hops as
indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to
fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well. Ferment at 67°
F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary. Add first set of dry
hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days then add the second set. Age five more
days then bottle or keg the beer
