Notes: AHA Gold 2024 - Saison
3-stage step mash. Boil for 70 minutes.
Ferment at 75 for 14 days.
First made 4/20/25.
Followed step mash process, starting at 120. This made some sense given the 6 row being used. Added 1 tsp of gypsum to the strike water to bring out the hop bitterness.
Added 1 gallon of 170 sparge water and brought to boil. Gravity was only 1040 before I added sugar. It was 1044 after the sugar. pH after mash was 5.3, so no need for any acid.
Boiled for an hour with 0.2 oz magnum. Added 2.25 oz of new Amarillo with 5 mins to go. Let that boil for 5 mins then put in Jaded chiller. Brought back up to the boil then chilled to 160 (very quickly as water is 50). Then added whirlpool hops into the wort, but didn't run a whirlpool as it was 10 pm. Let the hops sit at 160 - 175 for 20 mins, then chilled to 75 and put into fermenter.
Micro Homebrew didn't have Lallemand Saison yeast, so subbed Wyeast 3724, Belgian Saison yeast. Made a starter with this for 12 hours, and added it to fermenter. Put on the therm wrap as wanted to keep temp at 75. Also did not fully seal the fermenter, as didn't want any pressure on yeast.
Vigorous fermentation after 24 hours, and gravity fell quickly 10 1037. Then went down more slowly, so increased temp to 77 and shook fermenter to agitate yeast several times. Left in fermenter for 13 days to make sure fully fermented. gravity fell slowly to 1009, and then a few more points over the last 4 days to 1006, which is slightly above target of 1004. Taste had some funk and and hops came through nicely, so with a lot of carbonation should drink well.
Started drinking after a week of conditioning in kegerator. It's a tasty beer, with gentle spice and characteristic Belgian yeast flavors. Hops work well to give it citrus notes. Easily drunk, and high carbonation helps. 8/10. After a few more weeks it became crystal clear, light straw color, and the hops and yeast character blended well together to make a very tasty beer. |

Notes: This is my mainstay IPA now. It is big, balanced - smells & tastes like a tropical fruit bomb and is very similar to Play Dead IPA by YellowDog brewing near Vancouver BC.
It isn't as complicated as it looks:
I mash all grain in a gatorade cooler with a false bottom for 60 min and get 82% eff
-Fly sparge to 7 gallons
-Boil for 60 min adding hops and whirlfloc at the appropriate times
-I mix the 3oz of citra and 3oz of mosaic together for all boil additions
-Ferment in primary for up to 3 weeks and dry hop during the last 7 days
-During the last 3 days do a cold crash |

Notes: Brew notes 9/13:
Mash strike was 144degF, initial mash was around 140-142 which is over target for protein rest. Added probably 30 ice cubes to get temp down to 137ish.
After 10 mins protein rest, direct fire while stirring for 5 mins to reach 145degF for beta amylase.
After 20 mins, pull a 1/3 decoction and heat to 165, rest for 10 mins. Then bring the decoction to a boil for before returning to main mash. Direct fire main mash (if necessary) to reach 163degF for alpha amylase. In total, approx 1 hour spent in alpha.
Once beta temp is reached, leave for approx 30-45 mins before raising to 167 for mashout. Post mash pH was 5.52, need to add a bit more acid malt since the water is so soft.
6 gallons mash water and 4.5 gallons sparge water yielded 9 gallons of wort. 2gallons/hour of boiloff hasn't been a problem before, since we have a 90 minute boil today hoping to get down to 5 or 6 gallons post-boil.
===
Fermentation notes:
Approx 12 hours after pitching at 60degF, temp of fermentation vessel had cooled all the way down to 40-42degF which is obviously too cold. Adjusted temp controller to have set point of 57 with an offset of 5, whereas it had been at 53 with an offset of 5. Not sure what the deal is with that but fermentation has been pretty active now around hour 18 after raising the vessel temp to around 48degF which is likely just fine.
On beginning of day 8 raised set point to 62, will raise by 5 deg every 12 hours until vessel reaches 65-68degF.

Notes: Imperial Sour Batch Kidz and Wyeast Roseare blend plus dregs will be used (two fermenters).
Fruit:
1. Peaches
2. Wine grapes
3. 2nd use fruit dump bucket (3 berries and mango)
BREW DAY (26-Oct-19):
Efficiency was lower than expected, possibly from the use of unmalted wheat.
Ferm 1 = Sour Batch Kidz + Cantillon dregs + LaFolie dregs
Ferm 2 = Roselare blend + Kan Fou, 2 FW barrelworks dregs
Added 10 oz cane sugar (in 8 oz water) on 28-Oct-19 to each fermenter.
UPDATE 13-MAR-20:
Blended two fermenters evenly (pH at ~3.3 and ~3.9 for Fermentern1 and 2).
1 gal straight
3 gal wine grapes
3 gal peaches
5 gal 2nd use raspberry, blueberry, blackberry and mango
Visible fermentation took 4-5 days to renew. Let go for 1-2 months before tasting/measuring.
Update, bottling 02-May-20:
Peaches (2.6 gal, added 3 oz sugar for 3.0 CO2 vol), pH at 3.55
Wine grapes (2.4 gal, 2.8 oz sugar), pH 3.52
Dump bucket (4 gal, 4.7 oz sugar), pH 3.55 |
