Notes: NOTE!!!! In 2022 and 2023, we didn't finish near as low as Brewer's Friend thinks (1.010). We finished at 1.014 and 1.017. We need to pitch a ton of healthy yeast and change the recipe to have a higher percentage of base malt and lower specialty. Also a higher starting gravity wouldn't hurt. |

Notes: - American 2-row was actually Crisp Larger Malt purchased from Malt Miller, but both are about 1.8L
- Caramalt (from malt miller) was actually 12L, not 17L as calculated by BF
-Carapils was from Brew UK
- heated strike water to 90 and poured. Mashed in at 77 and mash temp was 68c. Took sample and stired 2x and lost 1.5c.
-added 5 ml of lactic acid and BF predicted 5.3 ph, but I got 5.66 ph with the ph te ster at 21 c after 13 minutes of mashing. Don't know why. Not sure if I trust ph tester as it gave me 6.1 ph with distilled water which is supposed to be 7. Maybe try disuadated malt next time and or I may need to recalibrate ph tester at 25c and then always test at 25c. At the end of the mash I tested again at 20c and got 5.55ph.
-Hydrometer broke. Tery's spectrometer said 1050-1051, and I pulled a sample out of the fermenter and tested the morning after and it was about 1051. This is 63% effeciency (awful). I did only one batch sparge and there was a good few inches of just water on top of grist, so perhaps always try to do 2 X batch sparges.
- Day 6 fermentation: American Ale 1056 is different! Fermentation began bubbling day 2 and from day 3-5 it went crazy. Despite decent headspace (27 litres), Air lock impossible so needed blow off tube continiously which needed emptying daily. Day 6 it's still bubbling 60 X a minute and there is a crousing on top, but gravity is 1012. Style guide says 1008-1016, and I am bound to lose 2-3 points after racking, so I racked to secondary for dryhopping to slow down fermentation. Color is very light as expected, cloudy. Tasting is promissing, hoppy and the bitterness you would expect - no off flavours detected. 1056 is supposed to be less attenuative than 05, but I don't see it at all!
- 4 days of dry hopping so day 10 overall and I've removed the harps. The gravity is 1008 and the sample got frozen but tastes very light in colour and very tropical fruit and there is still some bubbles. Next am bubbles finally stopped rising so turned off heat belt amd begin conditioning on day 11.
- Review. Brew day Friday. Fermented 6 days (Thur) and racked to pet. DH 4 days and pulled hops out on day 10 (Mon), turned heat belt off and began conditioning at approximately 12-16c. All fermenting was about 20c. Since turning heat belt off day 10, bubbling has been slow (1-4 per minute). Day 14 and the bubbling has stopped. Beer still cloudy, though. Conditioned with no heat for 5 days.
- day 15, Bottling. Using palmers chart, he says you base the amount of sugar on the final ferm temp, which for me is 12c, so for 2.5 co2, that's 130 gr of sugar. I did 138 given how much yeast has settled. FG 1008 (did not drop at all over 7 days of conditioning). 5.6 abv. Very clear and very promising taste. Put heat belt on.
- Summary. Racked at day 6 to PET (1012) and added DH. removed DH day 10 (1008). Removed heat day 11. Conditioned 5 days and bottled day 15 (1008). 5.6% ABV. Very clear at bottling but was able to suck up some yeast on the sides.
- Moved 51 bottles yield to green hot box and raised temp to 23c, requiring both heat belts.
- Day 11 the beer is properly carbonated, so turned hot box off.
