Notes: This recipe originally started as an "odds and ends" beer (using up the various malts that I had left over from previous recipes).
I later decided to dub this an American strong ale because it uses malts from a wide variety of countries (Belgium, UK, America, Germany) much like America's own heritage! It also utilizes Falconer's Flight hop blend wich showcases the bright, citrusy character of hops native to the Pacific Northwest.
As for the "BearShark" moniker, well that's for me to know and you to try and figure out! |

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:

Notes: Brewed April 2015 (my first home brew)
Named after the amount of hops (210 g), recipe inspired by Stone Brewing's Ruination IPA
OG: 1.062
Two tubes of WLP001 California Ale yeast added
Fermented at a stable 21 degrees Celsius
FG (after 7 days): 1.010, unchanged after 11 days
ABV: 6.8 (possibly rising to 7 after carbonation)
Packaged after 15 days, Coopers carbonation drops added
Taste note after 8 days in the bottle (almost no carbonation): Crisp and fruity taste. Dry. Not much aroma. Should have been dry hopped. |
