Notes: Note this is a split batch beer. After mashing, including a single decoction, I bring the beer to boiling and then pull off 2 gallons of wort. This wort undergoes a 15 minute boil with a hop addition at 10 minutes. It is then whirlpooled and chilled to upper 65 F and then yeast is pitched.
The remaining wort which was only at boiling briefly is chilled to 100 F, transferred to a carboy and receives a pitch of lacto. A heating pad set to 83 F was attached to this carboy.
After a few days (3-4) the lacto should have done it's trick and the two are mixed back together. The yeast should finish fermenting the beer and the hops should stop the lacto. |

Notes: It's important with this beer to be able to do a closed transfer to avoid oxidation. The dry hops are added at high krausen to assure no O2 exposure, then simply close transfer to a keg. If you're going to bottle, don't cold crash so there's more yeast to utilize the O2 and hopefully avoid oxidation. |

Notes: 5/31
Carbed .9 gallons with .8 Oz corn sugar for ~2.4 vols CO2
Definitely some herbal grassy character (perhaps too long on the hops for biotransformation).
5/27:
1 gallon smells nice, less fruity and far more dank cannabis-likely from Aurora
(https://learn.kegerator.com/aurora-hops/ - Aurora’s aroma and flavor is intense but pleasant, combining a subtle and mellow tropical fruit with a herbal, sometimes described as a marijuana-like back drop. It is considered to have somewhat of a noble character.)
5/19:
Biotransfermation hops: 3oz. El Dorado (.5oz. Aurora for 1 gallon)
5/16 BREWDAY:
Exceeded efficiency by >10%
Fermented 6 gallons in Kurtis' bucket following dry-hop schedule above.
Fermented 1 gallon in glass on same schedule, sub. 1 oz. Aurora for dry-hopping.

___
Lots of long chain sugars and proteins to sustain body despite high attenuation (Michael Tonsmiere echoes this in a blog): unmalted grains, flaked grains, torrified wheat
Can start with saison or mixed culture strain or with a standard sacch strain and after a week pitch a secondary strain to add complexity and (in cases of belgian saison strains) complete attenuation.
Free rise fermentation
Dry hop at the very end to avoid vegetal character (3-4 days)
Whirlpool at 150-60 provides more peachy stonefruit whereas 170-80 leans towards citrus
Oxidation preventions (Aside from reducing hot-side and cold-side aeration) add ~.5 gram ascorbic acid per gallon - add it in any time - between mash and packaging
Calcium Chloride-Useful for adding Calcium if the water is low in chlorides. (72 ppm Ca, 127 ppm Chl per gram per gallon)
The optimal brewing water range for:
Calcium is 50-150 ppm
Sulfate 150-200 ppm (pale) (not to exceed 400)
Chloride 150 (not to exceed 250)
The chloride anion acts to make the beer seem fuller and sweeter. It has the opposite effect of sulfate. In fact, the sulfate-to-chloride ratio is a good way to gauge the effect of the brewing water on the balance of the beer. For example, a sulfate-to-chloride ratio of 2:1 or higher will tend to give the beer a drier, more assertive hop balance, while a beer with a ratio of 1:2 will tend to have a less bitter, rounder, and maltier balance. |

That one:
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/1633/vanilla-cream-ale
I would say everyone should brew that one above...
ours is a little bit heavy though.... more dark either...
Regards from Brazil
Note1: Add Honey with water to the fermentor, after heating the mix for 25min at 180F
Note 2: Add Vannila mixed with a shot of a good vodka to the keg |

Acidulated malt to adjust mash pH to 5.2 Mash the grains at 151°F (66°C) for 25 minutes. Vorlauf for 15 minutes then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to get 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. Whirlpool for 45 minutes, adding first whirlpool addition at the start and the next after 20 minutes. After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 64°F (18°C). Aerate the wort and pitch the yeast (ensure a healthy pitch of the correct amount yeast). Ferment at 65°F (18°C). Add dry hops according to the schedule. Crash and remove dry hops on Day 11.
BREWER’S NOTES
Add acidulated malt to adjust the mash pH to 5.2 (1 percent of acidulated to malt per 0.1 of pH reduction needed). We target a 5:1 chloride-to-sulfate ratio in our mash and shoot for about 155 ppm of chloride. We also find we like our beers with a firmer bittering charge than is often seen. |
