Notes: 2020 Wort Share Beer 14 Plato, 99% 2 row, 1% acidulated malt
2/1/2020
Brew time finished after pitching at 8 pm.
80F at 1.072 = 1.074 g/ml
Did not use mash tun, on stove top.
Accessory grains: 5.8 gallons
9 hours later bubbling.
Air-lock stopped day 4. Opened took gravity on the 6th found it to be 1.014 g/ml. Took sample and tasted, definitely ginger very sweet still. Added 2 tablespoons of yeast energizer. Placed in slightly warmer place.
Bubbles started again 20 minutes later probably from the agitation
2/13/2020
Checked gravity, clarity and color, and a taste test.
SG 1.012, cloudy straw, Cream-ale ish plus egg from gasses from fermentation over all ginger.
Transferred into secondary.
2/15/2020
Took gravity no change 1.012 g/ml
Ginger flavor slightly more warm and with a slight ginger ale burn.
Added 2.75 oz of shaved ginger in a sanitized grain bag and canning jar for weight to keep the ginger in full contact with the beer.
2/21/20
Checked Gravity found it had dropped to 1.010 and cleared substantially. Slightly disappointed with the ginger taste and mouth feel. No where near the ginger that I had expected considering adding more ginger later today. ABV now hovering 8.8%. I am expecting no color change, but maybe another point lower in a week or two.
3/1/2020
Checked gravity found it has stayed at 1.010 and has stayed clear. The ginger taste is mild but good rounded flavor. Calculated abv 8.84% Bottling and subsequent carbonation fermentation will more than likely yield a FG at time of pour of 1.008 g/ml or 9%. I will leave beer in secondary until bottling later this week.
3/8/202
Bottled w 5.4 oz Light Malt Extract
Taste more ginger than I expected, decent finish, not sweet, light mouth feel. Did something new to estimate increase in abv in the bottle after bottle conditioning. I took pre sugar and post sugar readings.
Pre Sugar = 1.010
Post Sugar = 1.102
This would equal 0.26 % ABV increase if all the sugar that is convertible converts to alcohol 9.08% in the bottle.
Bottled:
11.5 1
12 oz 55

Notes: Mash at a fairly low temperature, 148° F to allow for the drier style. 60 minute boil with the addition of 1 ounce of dried juniper berries with the 1/3 ounce of Azacca hops. The remaining hops are added at flame out.
Chill the wort to no less than 85° F. Under pitch the Omega brands Kveik yeast and maintain the temperature throughout the whole fermentation. This hot fermentation will allow for the yeast to produce esters of pineapple, mango and other citrus from being stressed and under pitched.
The beer can then be chilled and kegs in only 10 days! |

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.
