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: DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 150°F (66°C) for 30 minutes, going for a liquor-to-grist ratio of 1.25 quarts/lb (2.6 liters/kg). Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle, adding the first-wort hops. (Stop the runnings if the wort drops below 1.010 or rises to 5.7 pH.) Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.

Boil for 90 minutes, adding dextrose according to the schedule.

After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, adding hops when the wort has cooled to 195°F (91°C); steep 10 minutes.

Chill to 65°F (18°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 66°F (19°C) for 24 hours, then at 68°F (20°C).

When primary fermentation is complete and gravity has stabilized—typically Day 6—drop the yeast or rack to secondary, add the first dry hops, and raise the temperature to 70°F (21°C). Rouse the hops on Day 7. On Day 8, drop the yeast/trub and add the second dry hops. Drop the trub again after 2 more days. Once the beer has passed a forced diacetyl test for two days (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com), crash to 30°F (–1°C), add Biofine, and package 1–2 days later, carbonating to 2.75 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Water profile: Target 100 ppm calcium and a 2:1 sulfate-to-calcium ratio.
pH: We target 5.2 pH in the mash, 5.05 post boil, and below 4.4 post fermentation.
Aeration: We oxygenate to 9 ppm; over-aeration can negatively impact the beer’s longevity.
Yeast pitch: We pitch 800,000 cells per ml/°P/barrel of healthy yeast. Homebrewers will want to make a healthy yeast starter.
IBUs: It’s worth noting that our software massively overestimates IBU calculations, so we adjust accordingly. This recipe shows up as 125 IBUs on our software, but the numbers above reflect what we’ve found by testing the beer. Ultimately, each brewer’s taste buds should lead them to get those IBUs up—or get their beer tested!
Rousing hops: A day after each dry-hop addition, we bubble the tank with 50 psi bursts of CO2, 3 times for 30 seconds each.

Notes: Plan is to make to beers on with OG around 1070 9l and one with OG aroung 1100 4l, the 4 liters beer will be added mushrooms for interesting tase notes. The recepie is as such made for a 18L 1070 where as 8L will be boiled down to 6L and 2 L boiled down to 0.5L and added at high cresant with 50g sugar and 50g Dextrose to dry out the beer and increase the gravity and caramel like flavors from the boiled down wort.

Crystal 60L is seen as 150EBC (will be a tad lighter)

Notes: Take 3 oz of medium-toast oak cubes. Soak them in bourbon for 2-4 weeks. Then add to the secondary for 1-2 weeks before bottling. Taste before kegging - add more bourbon if desired.

On kegging day:

Purge the keg with CO2.

Start racking the beer.

Heat up 1/4 pound Grade B maple syrup and add to the keg while you're racking into it. Mix well.

You may decide to add more maple syrup to taste.

Keep the keg cold so that the syrup doesn't ferment.

Won silver in the fruit beer category for a ladies homebrew competition! BJCP Judges notes:
Judge1: I'd enjoy slightly more body and dryness; I'd suggest adding flaked barley to acheive both ends.
Judge 2: I would have liked a tad more body and perceived alcohol - can you increase your grain bill somewhat?

Notes: Note the following other ingredients:

3 lbs pie pumpkin (boil)
4 oz molasses (preferably blackstrap)
4 oz maple syrup (preferably grade B)
1-3 tsp spice mix (Editor: see below for recipe)
2.5 lbs pie pumpkin (secondary)

Mash at 156° F for one hour, sparge per your setup to collect ~6.5 gallons wort. During your mash your pumpkin should be in the oven roasting (375 1 hr, toss with brown sugar and some spices, back in oven for 10 min)

(optional) Toss your cubed pumpkin in brown sugar and spices.

Toss your hops, boil for an hour, and kill it. I toss my spices in at flameout (1 Tbs)

(Editor: Recipe for Spice Blend):
My spice blend is a mix of one tablespoon of cinnamon, one teaspoon of ginger, one teaspoon of nutmeg, and a quarter teaspoon of cloves.
