Notes: Six months before you start brewing, put all the Fuggles and the cask Goldings in paper bags and store in a cool (50-60F if possible), dry place weighed down by a moderately-sized book. You want to press them but not crush them.
Salt additions presume 11 gallons of water for use.
The infusion mash requires frequent stirring throughout the process. Do not just passively infuse. Stir thoroughly at mash-in and frequently throughout. Brew day is arm day. This recipe drains each infusion thoroughly before adding the next infusion. There is no sparge or separate "mash-out".
Primary yeast is a 2 quart starter. Two days before brew day, boil 1 cup light DME in 2 quarts water, 15 min. Cool. Pitch yeast pack. Ferment 24 hours. Put into refrigerator.
On brew day, decant wort off settled starter. Put starter back into fridge. About an hour before pitching, take it out and let it warm at room temperature. Let primary go 10 days, then check gravity daily. Once gravity is stable over 3 days. Transfer to secondary
In secondary (Brett), let percolate 240 days, use glycerol in the airlock. Check gravity. Two weeks later, check gravity. If stable, check again in two weeks. If still stable, add the "cask" hops (remember the bag, and don't splash, lower them in with a rigid tool). Hold two more weeks. If not stable, check gravity in two weeks. Eventually, add hops for two weeks.
After two weeks, remove hops and use isenglas. Give it a week to clarify, then bottle.
Make priming wort on bottling day:
Priming Wort
• 0.25 lb Crisp Chevalier Heritage Malt
• 0.10 lb Crisp Brown Malt
• Mash grains in 1.5 qt treated water at 145 °F for 30-45 min.
• Add 0.7 oz (weight) treacle.
• Boil 15 min.
• Cool completely before use.
It will be ready to sample after 3 months in the bottle. It may take 12 months in the bottle to hit its stride. Recommend serving at 50-55F.
Final gravity and ABV are based incorporating the Brett
This can also be done without the Brett. Secondary will only be 4 weeks, then fine (5 weeks total), Bottle aging will be shorter (about half). If this option is taken, FG is ~ 1.017 and ABV ~ 7.1% |

Notes: Used Pilsner malt for high diastatic power and because it is the traditional malt for the style. Special B was used to contribute color as well as raisin, caramel, and dark fruit notes described in BJCP guidelines. Additionally, the use of Belgian candi syrup will add more extract to the wort as well as wild cherry and dark fruit flavors and contribute to final color. Added dextrose to help dry out the beer a little more. Used warrior for good bittering hop, didn't use any aroma hops as hop notes are not typical of style.
Lactic acid added in the mash to lower pH to optimal range. Gypsum and calcium chloride added to balance out water profile, and Wyeast 1762 used for subtle dry fruit esters at 1.25m cells/mL. Mashed at 1.25 qt/lb which left 6.25gal for sparging, considered thicker mash but with the larger mash tun didn't feel it necessary. Fermentation should be at 65f. |

Notes: Started with 7 gallons of water I think?
Had to add a full gallon at the end of the boil.
Hung the brew in a bag sack from the tree.
My temp dropped to 140 at one point so I hoisted the bag with the string, turned the burner on for a couple minutes to get it back to mid 150.
Based on Nick's suggestions, I opted against even additions throughout and instead went with lower quantities of bittering hops and added a 4th additions after the boil was off an the temp dropped to 170 (Whilrpool) which I let sit for 20 minutes.
