Notes: First addition had 3kg honey 1kg sugar or something like that great mead type flavour and honey was there.
Second was sugar some candy sugar and Maltodexrine and 500g ginger and lemon myrtle all up.
--‐--------------------
3rd addition this will be fermented in a corny keg with floating pickup. So batch size will be 18lt reduced from 21lt.
I'll add lentils into a thermos flask and mash them sepperate for an hour at 86c with some Alpha Amylase enzymes for conversion and add this wort to the start of the boil.
This will be in place of maltodextrin and see if I get some head from it.
Instead of the candy sugar I'll add honey (winter honey)
The sugar will be as is standard cane sugar. |

FIRST BATCH NOTES: 5/9/2018
For the first iteration of this beer, the lemon/lime zest is added just prior to flameout, along with a small hop whirlpool. Half an ounce each of lemon and lime zest. I added the juice of 1 lemon and 3 limes (about 1/2 cup total) to the secondary when I fined with gelatin. There was some vegetal flavor to the beer, which I suspect came from boiling the zest. The amount of juice in the secondary was good, but would recommend not boiling the zest again. Maybe try whirlpool or pouring the cold wort over the zest when adding to fermenter.
SECOND BATCH NOTES:
Add the zest of 6 limes to the primary fermenter when pitching yeast. Juice the limes and save the juice to add to the keg when kegging. Should be about a half cup of lime juice. Still got some of the vegetal flavor, next time don't let the vegetal matter sit with the beer for so long. Maybe try just adding zest alone next time.
THIRD BATCH NOTES:
Brewing 10 gal recipe here. Used 9.5 gals strike water, aimed for 14 gals pre-boil volume to fill two fermenters. Used two different yeasts: WY1056 and WY2565 (Kolsch). Added in 0.4 oz crushed coriander seed in muslin @ 10 mins left and left in for 10 min whirlpool as well. Used same hop timing schedule but loral instead of centennial based on availability. Zested 12 limes and 2 lemons and put chilled wort through zest on the way to the fermenter. Then froze fruit until it was juiced, split evenly, and added directly to each keg a few days prior to consumption. |

Notes: I made a starter in a 1,5l flask bottle by adding a small amount of light beer enhancer and servomyces yeast nutritient.
I'll be using Coolbrewers cold bag to hold the temperature below 10c with help of frozen water bottles.
I'd assume the primary fermentation will take 3 weeks (starting with cold pitching at 9c) and the diacetyl rest shall be controlled by raising temperature slowly first into 12c for 6 days and then lowered near 0c by adding more ice bottles every day.
The reittausblogi kesäpils -recipe suggests to lager for 3 weeks, but I'll probably keep it longer, like 4-6 weeks, simply because I don't have a frigde to control temperature.
For bottling, I'm going to add a new yeast culture and some brew enhancer for carbonation.
Notes from brewday: milled 2kg of pilsner malts and mixed with 58c degree water. Added some beer amylaze entsym just in case and left the mash still for 15 minutes before rising the temperature. I'm going to make a test gravitation bottle, which contains 0,5l of finished wort and a small pour of yeast culture. The test bottle will be placed in a room temperature for about a week and the FG will be measured. This is a good practice to foresee a potential final gravity so the actual batch can be put into diacetyl rest, when it's close enough of the test FG.
The OG of the test gravitation wort is 1.040G.
Note 1,5 week after BD:
I've managed to keep the fermentator's temperature between 7-10 celsius with the cool brew bag. The test bottle seems to be finished with fermentation and FG hits at 1.007G, so the alcohol level is approximately 4,33%, pretty fine for a mid-strong beer.
With this information, I can estimate the yeast to finish somewhere 1.010-1.007G.
Note 5,5 week after BD:
last week the FG was about 1.014G and now it has lowered down to 1.012G. There's no bubbling anymore at the water lock, just a small carbon bubbles in the sample, which indicates that the primary fermentation is about to finish soon. I had an accident while moving my cool bag on top of a shelf: a tap apparently took some hit on the walls of the bag while moving, which resulted breaking it, causing a leak. I managed to save 11 liters of a total 23 liter batch, but the yeast seemed to passivate after this accident.
By ABV calculator, the alcohol level seems to currently hit around 3.68%, which should be fine. Therefore I'm going to do a cold crash now, which includes dropping the temp around 3c and keeping it there for a week. After the crash I'll start the lagering process |
