Notes: PRE-BREW DAY PREPARATIONS

MEASURE SALTS
Very carefully measure out salts, put in medicine bottle.

MEASURE GRAINS
Carefully weigh out all grains, putting different grains in different containers.

MEASURE HOPS
Carefully weigh out the hop additions, put in small mason jars. under vacuum.

YEAST STARTER (One week before brew day).
This high gravity beer will need a 4 liter starter. 400 billion cells are needed. Prepare 4L of wort in the flask. Add yeast, put on stir plate.

(Actually, a 4.25 L starter is needed, so a sample of it can be saved for later culturing.)

DAY BEFORE BREW DAY
Prepare brewing water - with the grain basket in place, add PRECISELY 8.4 gallons of distilled water to the kettle.

Salts/acids - add mineral salts as prescribed, than add 3 ml 85% phosphoric acid. Check pH of water at this time and record.

BREW DAY!
Heat brewing water up to 148 deg F and hold there. Pump must remain off for the mash-in.

Mash-in
Add grains to the the water/basket, and stir in vigorously. Keep stirring as temperature rises back to 148 deg F. After 10 min, check pH. If pH is more than 5.45, acid will be needed.

First Saccharification Rest
(45 minutes)
Open valves, allow liquid to enter the recirculation system. Establish recirculation at a moderate flow rate. Conduct the rest at 148 deg F for 45 minutes.

Second Saccharification Rest
(30 minutes)
Conduct this rest at 158 deg F for 30 minutes. Stir as needed,.

Mash-out/Vorlauf
(15 minutes)
Raise temperature to 168 deg F. Allow recirculation to continue as usual.

Raising the Basket
TURN OFF RECIRCULATION. Raise the basket and hang on side of the kettle, as is usually done.

Rinsing the Grains in the Basket
It's now time to rinse the grains in the hanging basket with recirculating wort. First, SHUT OFF VALVES, then raise the basket. Remove the malt pipe from the end of the Direct Deposit recirculation arm, and remove the hose from the left side of the 3-way valve, making sure the valve is shut off! HAVE A VESSEL TO COLLECT RUNOFF WHEN YOU DISCONNECT THE HOSE, and collect it. Now, attach a hose there. This will be used to recirculate wort through the grains in the raised basket.

Using the mid-way position of the whirlpool 3-way valve, and holding the hose up (WEAR GLOVES!), recirculate wort over the grains, while simultaneously whirlpooling. Continue for 15 minutes, then allow it to drain for 5 minutes. Remove basket, hang on bucket, and allow it to drain into the bucket for 15 minutes.

BOIL
This will be a 90 minute boil. Measure pre-boil gravity; it should be around 1.042. (Sugar is not added until 10 min before the end of the boil). Post-boil gravity should be around 1.076 after the Simplicity Belgian Candy Sugar is added.

WHIRLPOOL
Reconfigure hoses for the whirlpool, with pump-out going into Therminator plate chiller. Allow hot wort to flow into the hoses/chiller. When bubbling is complete, turn on the pump.

Allow the hot wort to flow into the chiller and recirculate. After 10 min, all is sterilized and chilling may begin.

CHILLING
Turn on hose water. Allow temperature to drop to 185 deg F, then turn off pump. Within 5 minutes, temp should be at 175 deg F. At this time, add the whirlpool hops and allow recirculation to continue for 15 minutes.

After the 15 minute recirculation, turn the hose water back on. Chill to as cold as it will get, then use ice water recirculation if necessary, to bring temp down to 64 deg F or a bit lower. When chilling is complete, turn off the hose water recirculation.

MOVING WORT TO FERMENTOR
Assure oxygenation setup is in place. Allow a little wort to flow into the sanitized fermentor, then pour Yeast Buddy and BrewZyme D in, then continue the transfer. Assure there is a steady stream of bubbles going into the outflowing wort. When the fermentor is about 1/2 full, add the Brewzyme-D and continue filling until wort stops flowing. Put a cover on the fermentor now. Gently swirl fermentor so that thorough mixing of Yeast Buddy and BrewZyme-D solutions occurs.

PITCHING THE YEAST
Decant the supernatant from the yeast culture. Save a little of the yeast in a jar for reculturing. Now, add the remainder of the yeast to the fermentor. With the diptube/airlock cap in place, swirl the fermentor gently to evenly distribute yeast.

TILT HYDROMETER
Drop the calibrated Tilt Hydrometer into the fermenter.

FERMENTATION
Set Inkbird to 82 deg F. Begin fermentation at 65 deg F, then make sure heater is unplugged. When wort is at 65 deg F or a little lower, set the Inkbird to 82 deg F. After 12-18 hours, add oxygen to fermentating wort for 30 seconds.

UNPLUG HEATING BLANKET.
Make sure heating blanked is unplugged. Inkbird should be set for 82 deg F. Allow the temperature to self-rise on its own to reach 82 deg F. When temp reaches 82 deg F, have fermentation continue for a week to 10 days, until the Tilt Hydrometer shows the gravity is no longer dropping.

COLD CRASHING THE FINISHED WORT
Gradually lower temperature from 75 deg F to near freezing.

Oostmalle Tripel
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.080 FG = 1.011
IBU = 34 SRM = 3 ABV = 9.0%

Ingredients

11.25 lbs. (5.1 kg) Pilsner malt (or a blend of Pilsner malts)
2.7 lbs. (1.2 kg) sugar (sucrose)
10 AAU Tettnanger hops (60 mins)
(2.25 oz./64 g of 4.5% alpha acids)
White Labs WLP530 (Abbey Ale) or Wyeast 3787 (Trappist High Gravity) yeast
(3 qt./~3 L yeast starter)
1⁄2 tsp. Wyeast Yeast Nutrient Blend (or 1 capsule White Labs Servomyces)
9.5 oz. (269 g) corn sugar (for priming)

Step by Step

Treat your water such that your level of carbonates is below 50 ppm and your calcium level is in the 50–75 ppm range. (If you adjust magnesium, shoot for the 10 to 30 ppm range.) For any calcium additions, use a mixture of calcium chloride and gypsum, unless your water is already rich in either chloride or sulfates and deficient in the other. [As an option, if your carbonates are in the 50–100 ppm range, bump up your calcium to 100 ppm and swap 2.5-5% of the Pilsner malt for acidulated malt. In the above grain bill, that would be about 1–2 lbs. (0.45–0.91 kg).]

Step mash with a 45-minute rest at 140 °F (60 °C), then ramp temperature to 152 °F (67 °C) and hold for 30 minutes. (Use 16 qts. (15 L) of strike water.) If you are heating your mash tun, heat at a rate of approximately 2 °F (1 °C) every 4 minutes. Stir every minute or so. (Raising your temperature will take about 20 minutes this way.) If you are adding boiling water to instantly raise your mash temperatures, extend the second rest by about 10 minutes. You can also pull a small decoction, about 1⁄4 of your mash, heat it to a boil and return it to the main mash to raise your mash temperature. As an option, you can raise the mash temperature to 168 °F (76 °C) for a mash out.

If you did not mash out, begin sparging with 190–200 °F (88–93 °C) water until the top of the grain bed reaches 168 °F (76 °C). Continue sparging with water hot enough to keep the grain bed at about 168 °F (~76 °C). If you did mash out, continue sparging with water hot enough to keep the grain bed at 168 °F (76 °C). Quit collecting wort when the specific gravity of the runoff drops to 1.008 or the pH climbs to 5.8, whichever comes first. Heat your wort as you are collecting it, aiming to have the boil start right around the time the runoff ends.

Boil until your hot break appears, then examine it. If it appears as big, fluffy, “snowflake-like” flakes, then proceed with the boil. If it consists of tiny granules of break material (or if you measure the wort pH and it is above 5.2), add 1⁄4 tsp. CaCl2. Boil vigorously for about 90 minutes, or however long it will take to reduce your volume such that you yield 5.0 gallons (19 L) of wort. (This should be at least 60 minutes.) Add the hops for the final 60 minutes of the boil. Stir the sugar into the wort when 15 minutes is left in the boil. Add yeast nutrients at the same time.

Cool to 65 °F (18 °C) quickly and transfer to your fermenter. Aerate well and pitch the yeast from the yeast starter. Maintain fermentation temperature of 65 °F (18 °C) for the first day of active fermentation, then allow it to rise in the next few days up to 70 °F (21 °C). Once fermentation has concluded, let the beer sit and condition for a few days, then bottle.

Bottle the beer in heavy beer bottles, or decrease the amount of priming sugar to 6.5 oz. (184 g) of priming sugar per 5 gallons (19 L). [Note: the 9.5 oz. of priming sugar assumes that your fermentation finished at 70 °F (21 °C); if it was colder, consult the priming chart at byo.com for how much to add.] Be sure to stir priming sugar into beer well enough that the sugar is evenly distributed. Store the conditioning beer warm, optimally, warmer than room temperature — up to 80 °F (27 °C). After two weeks, chill a bottle and test for carbonation. Store carbonated beer cold for at least two weeks before serving.
