Notes: Alternate yeasts Safale S-04, WLP 007, LalBrew Nottingham. Pitch and ferment for at 64°F for 3 days, then let rise to max. 70°F. NOTE: For batch 1, fermenting at ambient basement temp (66°F).
Using Martin Brungard's recommendation for decarbonated Burton water.
Boil at 1.6 kw for 75 mins, then 2.4 kw for 15 mins. Boil off is 20% - still somewhat high. |

Notes: - Brewed on 2/15/20
- Mash water = 4.80 gallons (18.2 liters)
- Sparge water = 3.27 gallons (12.4 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had just under 26 liters which is right on target after wort expansion assumption
- Expecting mash efficiency of 84% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.054
- Mash temp settled right it at ~152F
- Hit 12.6 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.051 vs. 1.054 target so ~83% mash efficiency (at 6.85 gallons expanded vs. 6.6 less expansion) vs. 84% expected.
- Expecting to boil down to ~6 gallons so boil-off tool estimates 1.059 OG. Actual original gravity reading was 14.2 plato which converts to 1.058 vs 1.059 expected.
- After boil had ~6.2 gallons or 23.5 liters (expected ~6.0 less expansion so this looks to be right on) in the kettle and ~5.7 gallons made it into the fermenter
- Pitched the American Ale yeast packet and set fermentation chamber at 66F
- Pitched the Lambic Blend yeast packet at the same time, taking this advice from American Sour Beers book
- After primary fermentation appeared to be done (~2 weeks) added the dregs from 1 bottle of 3 fonteinen oude geuze 17/18 and just under 1 oz of American Oak Cubes (medium toast)
- Packaged on 4/24/21, batch #52, FG was 1.005 (at 70F) which converts to 1.006 so 101% attenuation vs 101% avg. and 80% expected |

Notes: - "You can also do this by diverting your first quart or two from the mash into a separate pot and boil this for a few minutes while continuing to sparge into your regular kettle. Then add the slightly caramelized first runnings back before starting a regular 60 minute boil."
- Fermentation temperature ramp going from 14C up to 18C over 4 days.
- at the end of sparging, strike water not exceeding 168–170 °F (76–77 °C) is important. if its lower, not the biggest deal, potential loss of probably .2 to .4 ABV absolute max using room temp water in a light sparge.
- since hop additions are mostly in pellet form, will need to whirlpool after cooling for ~45 minutes, then siphon the wort off the trub in the kettle. |
