Notes: Mash at 150F for an hour. FWH added as boil approaches 160F.
Add 0 min boil hops and let stand for 45 minutes. Aroma hops added during chilling as temp approaches 160F.
Drop the temp Pitch and Ferment at 68F for the first two days, raising to 70F over the next two. When krausen begins to fall, transfer to co2 flushed dry hops in keg. Purge headspace a few times, put a few psi on the keg and let fermentation finish out. 10 to 14 days total. Cold crash and push out any trub, then force carb. Should be really tasty in the next 5 days. Fresh is best!

Notes: Mash will be split into two 10 G mash tuns.

Brew365 Calculation below:
Batch Size: 2.75 g
Grain Bill: 20 lbs
Boil Time: 3 hours
Trub Loss: 0.25 g
Equipment Loss: 0.25 g
Mash Thickness: 1.50 qts/lb
Target Mash Temp: 156

Percent Boiloff: 11.5 %

Total Mash Water: 7.50 g
Sparge Water: 0 g

Pre-Boil Volume: 4.75 g
Combined into Pre-Boil total Volume: 9.5 g

4 days prior to brew I started two 1.5 L starters from 2 packs of WLP090 yeast. Let ferment and stored in fridge until brew day. On the morning of brew I decanted starters and pitched into new 1 L starter so it would be active before pitching.
Had to substitute Golden Promise for Marris Otter. Grain bill was split into two even grain bills. Milled 2 days before brew and stored at homebrew store at 72 degrees,

9/14/19: brewed with Matt and John at homebrew store.

Roughly 11:30 AM start time. Started with 7.5 gallons of RO water, treated with 4.9g of baking soda, and 7g of calcium chloride. Pre-heated mash tun with 178 degree mash water. Doughed in with 20 lbs of grain, achieved 155 degree mash temp, let rest 90 minutes and stirred every 15 minutes for first hour.

Repeated with second mash, achieved 160 degree mash temp, cooled with 2-3 qts of extra water to 156 degrees, then let rest for 90 minutes.

Vorlaufed both for 10-15 minutes each. Collected first runnings only into 15G kettle, boil volume 10G, pre-boil gravity between 1.082 - 1.084. Boiled for just over 3 hours on propane burner. Forgot to add yeast nutrient during boil. Cooled with copper immersion chiller to 90 deg.

Final volume was 5 - 5.15G into 6G glass carboy. Original gravity of 1.145-1.147 (reading was off the refractometer scale).

Placed fermentor into ferm chamber set to 66 deg. Temp stabilized ~1.5 hours later. Pitched 1 L new and very active starter, vigorously shook for 2-3 minutes to aerate.

@12 hours post pitch - very active ferm, 1-2" krausen
@24 hours post pitch - nearly high krausen 2-3"
@36 hours post pitch - high krausen, very active, almost into blow off tube

Partigyle Brew:
Decided on an english mild/brown ale

Target OG: 1.050
Actual OG: 1.045
Target IBU: 30
Target Volume: 5.5G
Boil: 60 minutes

Ran 3.5G untreated Louisville tap water through each mash tun. Let rest for 30 minutes while we handled the main brew. Vorlaufed briefly, then collected 6.5G second runnings into 10G boil kettle. "Boiled" on induction burner that maintained a weak simmer.

Added 1oz EKG/Fuggles at 50 for ~25 ibus
Added 1oz EKG/Fuggles at 5 minutes for ~5 ibus

Cooled with copper immersion chiller to 90 degrees. Then placed in ferm chamber set to 66 degrees alongside RIS. Temp stabilized ~1.5 hours later. Pitched 1 pack of S-04 then lightly shook for 30 seconds to aerate.

@12 hours minimal ferm
@24 hours thin krausen
@36 hours active ferm, 1" krausen

10/10: Bottled half of the brown plain with dextrose. Targeting 2.3 vol co2. Remaining 2.75G was racked into 3G better bottle with 2 split, scraped, and chopped wet Madgascar Vanilla beans (that had been soaking in ~1-2 oz of Heaven Hill vodka for 2-3 days).

10/23: Dry beaned 30g (~11g/G) of Sunergos Tanzanian Peaberry coffee (roast date: 10/10). Beans were placed into sanitized grain bag, filled with coffee/stainless steel nuts, and suspended in beer for ~24 hours.

10/24: Packaged vanilla/coffee portion, targeting 2.1 vol co2, primed with dextrose. Flavor and aroma was pretty incredible, vanilla added body/sweetness and the fresh roast smell of coffee was very pleasant.

Notes for Next time:
-don't forget to add yeast nutrient
-we collected more pre-boil volume and still had wort left in the mash tun, consider lowering initial mash volume by 0.25G each
-partyigyle beer was much weaker than it could have been. Sparge with less volume, and collect any remaining wort from tuns before sparging

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.

Notes: I received the approximate grain bill in mashed and unboiled wort from Petrichor Brewing. They made a 10 Bbl version with the malt percentages in the recipe. I decided on the style and what hops and yeast to use. All the participants will bring the beers they made back as part of a small festival and competition.

Notes: This recipe makes a dry, bitter, and hoppy saison, and can also serve as a solid template for further variations. See suggestions below.

Mash Schedule for BIAB

Because of the relatively large proportion of spelt in this recipe, I typically do a cereal mash. The process is quite straight-forward for Brew in a Bag, but may require some modification for other mashing regimes.

1) Crush spelt separately to consistency of grits. Bring to a boil in a large saucepan with a few litres of water (subtract this from the volume of your main batch, or take it directly from the liquor in the main kettle). Keep at a boil, stirring to prevent scorching, until it forms a thick porridge: usually 15-20 minutes. This stage can be done prior to brew day, with the cooled spelt porridge stored in the fridge till required.

2) Heat main mash liquor and dough in with grist and spelt porridge, aiming for an initial temperature of 131F. You may need to break up the spelt porridge with your hands if you stored it before use. Keep at this temperature for around 15-20 minutes. [Optional step: you can also include an earlier rest at around 113F. This may aid with lautering and possibly increase phenolics from any brettanomyces strains.]

3) Raise mash to around 145F. Keep at this temperature for 40-50 minutes.

4) Raise mash to around 154F. Keep at this temperature for 20 minutes.

5) Raise to 168F. Mash out and lauter. Top-up with water to reach your desired pre-boil volume. Proceed with boil.

Fermentation:

Cool beer to around 65F. Oxygenate, pitch yeast, and allow to freerise. (In the summer, I would keep it in my fermentation chamber set at 70F for 24-26 hours.)

Variations:

This recipe provides a good template for variation. The spelt gives the beer a full mouth-feel that stands up well to both hops and acidity.

As it stands, the recipe makes a fairly bitter, hoppy beer. I find it ages gracefully if you add a small pitch of brettanomyces (e.g. bottle dregs) to secondary or at bottling: as the hops fade, the brettanomyces character will gradually become more prominent.

I have varied the grist for this recipe in a number of ways, all with good results. Some suggestions: - replace some of the pilsner with 5-15% Vienna or Munich. - replace some of the pilsner with 15-30% of another base malt, e.g. pale ale malt, Golden Promise, 6-row, etc. - add an adjunct in the kettle or post-boil. I have added both honey and Candi Syrup to this recipe. I thought the former worked particularly well.

Try adding an element of acidity to the beer; depending on your palate, you may want to dial back the bitterness slightly if you do this (I do not). - I often blend in 10-25% pale sour with this beer. The fullness from the spelt provides a nice balance to the acidity. Depending on your final gravity, you can do this in secondary or at bottling. - Add flavour at bottling, e.g. I have made a tea from hibiscus leaves and added it at bottling, which provided a nice tartness along with brilliant colour.
