Notes: Split the dry hop into two stages: 1) Add the first dry hops after primary fermentation is just about complete (about 1 week). Let this first dry hop addition sit for three days then; 2) Add the second dry hop addition to the primary fermenter for four days (so seven days exposure for the first round of dry hops). Bottle or package immediately on the seventh day. Try to minimize oxygen exposure for best aroma retention. For example, if kegging, purge the keg with CO2 before transferring the wort.

Also, I used this forum from HomeBrewTalk.com on Heady Topper for some direction: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=390082

Basically the malt profile is very similar to Heady only scaled down to 7% ABV. The hop profile used HopShot for the 60 minute edition and a Citra/Mosaic combo for all other editions. This is very different from Heady, but is pretty well known to be the hop combo in Focal Banger.

Notes: Ferment in the primary for 7 days, or until fermentation slows, then rack onto hops for dry hopping schedule for 5 days, or until fermentation stops. Add Gelatin to secondary 3 days prior to bottling and cold crash in fridge at 32-40 degrees to clarify beer (optional step).

This IPA sports deep gold in the glass with a creamy beige foam cap. The nose takes in a pleasing blend of floral hops along with citrus. It's a light to medium-bodied IPA with a well balanced palate that is not too bitter, consisting of citrusy hops and malt.

The finish aroma and flavor is a combination of hops and malt.

Lagunitas IPA is a MOST WORTHY West Coast IPA. This clone recipe will get you right there!!

Notes: I put the vanilla beans in the secondary for 5 days with the cacoa nibs. try to get organic and make a tincture with vodka for a couple days to kill what could be on the beans. split the beans down the middle to open them. start your fermentation around 63-65 degrees for 3 days then ramp up to 70 for the rest of the fermentation.

This beer took 4th in a BJCP judged event out of 26 for the russian imperial stout style.

Notes: JALAPEÑO SAISON SPICY

6.2% ABV

60-MINUTE MASH AT 152 ° F
1 ¾ quarts water, plus 1 gallon for sparging
1.6 pounds Belgian Pilsner malt
0.1 pound Aromatic malt
0.02 pound Munich malt

60-MINUTE BOIL
0.08 ounce Pacific Jade hops, divided into halves
0.12 ounce Sorachi hops, divided into thirds
1 jalapeño pepper, chopped, with seeds
0.2 pound clear Belgian Candi Sugar
⅓ cup agave nectar (***listed as "Honey" under fermentables)

FERMENT
½ packet Belgian ale yeast, such as Wyeast Belgian Saison or Safbrew T-58
3 tablespoons agave nectar, for bottling

MASH:
In a medium stockpot, heat the 1 ¾ quarts water over high heat to 160 ° F. Add all the malts and stir gently.
The temperature should reduce to 150 ° F within 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
Steep the grains for 60 minutes between 144 ° F and 152 ° F. Every 10 minutes, stir and take the temperature.
If the grains get too cold, turn on the heat to high while stirring until the temperature rises to that range, then turn off the heat.
With 10 minutes left, in a second medium stockpot heat the 1 gallon water to 170 ° F.
After the grains have steeped for 60 minutes, raise the heat of the grains-and-water mixture to high and stir until the temperature reaches

170 ° F. Turn off the heat.

SPARGE:
Place a fine-mesh strainer over a pot, and pour the grains into the strainer, reserving the liquid.
Pour the 1 gallon of 170 ° F water over the grains.
Recirculate the collected liquid through the grains once.

BOIL:
Return the pot with the liquid to the stove on high heat and bring to a boil.
When it starts to foam, reduce the heat to a slow rolling boil and add half of the Pacific Jade hops.
Add the remaining Pacific Jade hops after 30 minutes,
one third of the Sorachi hops after 45 minutes,
the chopped jalapeño after 50 minutes,
and another third of the Sorachi hops after 55 minutes.
Prepare an ice bath by stopping the sink and filling it with 5 inches of water and ice.
At the 60-minute mark, turn off the heat,
add the remaining Sorachi hops,
the Belgian Candi Sugar,
and the agave nectar, and stir to dissolve the sugar.
Place the pot in the ice bath in the sink and cool to 70 ° F, about 30 minutes.

FERMENT:
Using a sanitized funnel and strainer, pour the liquid into a sanitized fermenter.
Add any water needed to fill the jug to the 1-gallon mark.
Add the yeast, sanitize your hands, cover the mouth of the jug with one hand, and shake to distribute evenly.
Attach a sanitized stopper and tubing to the fermenter and insert the other end of the tubing into a small bowl of sanitizing solution.
The solution will begin to bubble as the yeast activates, pushing gas through the tube.
Wait 2 to 3 days until the bubbling has slowed, then replace the tubing system with an airlock.
Wait 11 more days, then bottle, using the agave nectar.
Two weeks after bottling, your beer will be ready to open.
Chill and share with friends, if you’re the sharing type.

Notes: Add 2 tsp of Gypsum to water, based off starting with DC water.

The recipe released from the White House has an error, they mention 1.5 oz of Fuggle in the list of ingredients, but then only 0.5 oz in the instructions. I went with 1.5 oz here.

The instructions are also a little weird in terms of the boil times. They say 'add the honey and boil for 5 more minutes'. So, actually it is a 50 minute boil, not a 45 minute boil.

Other than that, it is a straight forward extract batch.

To get it to qualify as an Amber Ale, had to set the IBU equation to Rager, and the SRM equation to Daniels. I'm open to suggestions on the style (haven't tasted it).

Notes: ===11-16-13===
- Subs: Magnum for bittering. Very high alpha kent goldings, so only used 1.5oz on each addition.
- OG: 1.109 (refracto)
- 12-2-13 FG: 1.04 Sooo, wow. It's definitely not done. And only bubbling every 2 minutes. Going to make starter of some leftover 001 and try pitching again. wtf.
- 12-15-13 FG: 1.036 (hydro). Holy crap. So slow. May pitch some sort of high gravity yeast and add some nutrient? blech. Been reading up on this issue of stuck fermentation. Apparently, for this massive a beer, a 1L starter isn't enough. Next time: 2L starter and aerate the shit out of it. Then immediately start another 1L starter and pitch after high krousen in primary. Pitching 1 packet of dried champagne yeast AND a 1L starter of champagne yeast.
- 12-28-13 FG: 1.034 Pitching WLP009 Super High Gravity Yeast in a 2L starter to try and finish the job.
-1-18-13 FG: 1.024 Yay WLP009! It seems like there's positive pressure on the bubbler, so I'm going to let it go a few more weeks. Added 1.5tsp yeast energizer and 1.5tsp yeast nutrient.
- 2-17-14 FG: 1.02 Racked to secondary (tertiary?) 2oz American Medium toast oak blocks, soaked in Rye Whisky for 1.5hrs. Was about 1/2 cup of whisky added.
