Notes: If not using Kveik Yeast, I recommend using Wyeast London Ale III for Hazy IPAs
I used Whole Leaf Citra hops because I had them, but you can use pellet hops as well.
Fermentation Dry Hop @ 70% attenuation (1.025 to 1.027)
cold crash after fermentation is complete.
Fermentation temp: 77-83F for Kveik Yeast OR 65-67F for London Ale III |

Notes: - Brewed on 11/10/18
- Heated strike water to 164F, doughed in and quickly settled at 153F mash temp
- Expecting mash efficiency of 76% which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.053. Took many samples inside which ranged from 12.7 to 13.1 (but hit 13.1 multiple times).
- Added brewing salts and lactic acid to the strike water prior to doughing-in
- Initial PH was X.X vs. 5.41 expected. PH meter still not calibrated correctly. So assuming expected mash PH was reached.
- Put honey into brew kettle at 130-140 degrees. Expecting honey to add ~4 gravity points so 1.057 then expecting boil to reduce down to 1.074 original gravity. Used 1 pound instead of 1.5 because I thought I was at 1.055 before honey addition instead of 1.053 expected and the 1 pound still added 4 points so 1.059. Turns out was only at 1.053 so prolly added 3 points getting me to 1.056.
- Ginger goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Cinnamon goes in at 60 minutes during the boil (in hop spider)
- Original gravity was 16.2 plato which converts to 1.066. 10.75 gallons was left in the kettle after boil. 10.5 made it into fermenters. Expected the boil off to contribute more points. Something with the numbers when wrong and not sure where. Took multiple readings for OG and it consistently was ~16 plato. **Figured it out. Boil off and gravity point contributions vary depending on wort volumes. I based my assumptions off 5 gallon batches for this 10 gallon batch. Should have targeted a higher pre boil gravity (~1.064 to try and hit 1.074 original gravity).
- Packaged on 11/25. FG was 1.014 at 69F, which converts to 1.015 which implies 75% attenuation (which is what I expected) vs. 69% avg attenuation for the yeast.
- This beer scored a 39.5 and finished second in its category in the Square Kegs Winterbrew 2019 competition.

I want to know firsthand what molasses taste like in a brew.
Tap water to 1.25L, DME boiled but molasses added to sanitized 2L mason jar. I will pour the wort off the boil into the mason jar in an effort to keep some of the molasses aroma. Added a pinch of Fermaid-K at pitching.
Update- was very homebrew tasting, hadn't had a funky brew in years a little oxidized but shouldn't have been with a pin hole saran wrap and only a week old. Not pleasant.

Tasting Notes: Malt focused with hints of caramel, fig and slight toast. Medium to medium-heavy body

- 26 lbs American 2-row
- 2 lbs Vienna malt
- 1 lb Carapils
- 0.75 lbs Caramel 40L
- 0.75 lbs Caramel 80L
- 0.375 lbs Dehusked Carafa II
Hops:
- 1.5 oz Columbus (13.7% AA) - 60 min

- 1 oz Willamette (5.2% AA) - 0 min
Yeast:
- Wyeast 1335 British Ale II
I have brewed this beer nearly a dozen times to hone in on this relatively simple recipe. The two types of caramel malt give some nice color but also contribute a complex flavor profile of caramel and dark stone fruits. The dehusked carafa II adds a deep ruby hue. The carapils helps to form and maintain a dense, lasting off-white colored foam cap which laces down the glass, but does not make the beer too full-bodied.
The dehusked Carafa is also known as Carafa Special |

| Notes: Three temperature profiles that seem to be popular among homebrewers are just off boil range 190–212 °F (88–100 °C), the sub-isomerization range 160–170 °F (71–77 °C), and a tepid hop stand range 140–150 °F (60–66 °C). The 190–212 °F (88–100 °C) range will allow essential oils with higher flashpoints an easier time to solubulize into the wort and also will allow some alpha acid isomerization to occur with the best estimates of between 5–15% utilization. Some homebrewers will keep their kettle burner on low to keep the temperature of the wort elevated above 200 °F (93 °C) during their extended hop stands which would better emulate the conditions in commercial whirlpools. A hop stand in the 160–170 °F (71–77 °C) range will basically shut down the alpha acid isomerization reaction and the lower temperatures will reduce the vaporization of the essential oils. Homebrewers can use their wort chillers to bring the wort down to this range before adding the knockout hops or they can add a second dose of knockout hops. The 140–150 °F (60–66 °C) range will once again reduce vaporization of the low flashpoint oils, but may take longer to get the same amount of essential oils extracted. |

Add 0 min boil hops and let stand for 45 minutes.
Drop the temp Pitch and Ferment at 67F for 7 days. First dry hop gets added when fermentation begins to slow.
Cold Crash to 37F for 2 days, transfer to secondary and bring back to room temp and dry hop for 3 days, shaking hops into solution every 12 hours or so. Condition and serve at 44F and 9psi.
