Notes: Fuck up #1: Grab way too much GP from HBS while converting lbs to oz. Adapt from IPA to now (strong) double IPA because why not use all the grain?
Fuck up #2: Only adding one ice pack to fermentation cooler bag before bed on day 2 of a crazy high OG beer.
Fuck it, still going to be beer right?
Other notes:
- Yeast blend recommended by Zymurgy (Aug 2019) for Julius clone....only because HBS did not have 1318
- Hop stand for 30 mins at 110F
- Dry hop on day 2

Notes: I`m primarily using Heather honey in my mead. At least 60/40 when I use a mix of Heather and Flower honey.
2 liter starter @1.04SG, 2 stage.
Filipendula ulmaria ( called Mead spice locally ) was traditionally used as "flavoring", and is this brews source of tannin. Caution; Filipendula ulmaria is a natural source of salicylic acid. Steep the Filipendula ulmaria in 1 liter of water so that it makes a strong, pungent tea. Add the tea to the fermentor the 3rd day.
Add commercially prepared Apple Must/ Apple Juice ( without preservatives like Potassium Sorbate, Ascorbic Acid is ok tho ) to the fermentor the 3rd day. The pectinase will help break down any pectin.
Leave to ferment for 30 days. Store for an additional year after botteling. Enjoy =)
End notes:
It was, to my best knowledge, uncommon to use hops in mead. Nor was it common to use any kind of malt. Hops, malt and Achillea millefolium ( a hops substitute, called Beer king locally ) was most commonly use for brewing beer ( beer was for every day use and mead for special occasions ).
You could add a small amount of clove, ginger and nutmeg to make the brew spiced as well ( I use these spices with restraint as I do not want my mead to taste like gingerbread ). Boil the spices for 15 minutes and let the Filipendula ulmaria flowers steep to make the tea.
Carbonation was also rare at best, and then only lightly ( due to lack of pressure proof containers ). |

Notes: Using this base recipe to test various hop flavors. Leave the Perle and switch out only the last 2 hops.
STRAIN: 1272 AMERICAN ALE II:
Ferment at warmer temperatures to accentuate hop character with an increased fruitiness. Or, ferment cool for a clean, light citrus character. It attenuates well and is reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration.
Or
STRAIN: 1332 NORTHWEST ALE:
It produces a malty and mildly fruity ale with good depth and complexity.
*********************
RESULTS: Good tasting simple beer to see what the flavors of cascade really taste like. Great cheap beer for the weekend. |

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 |
