Notes: When I make a double batch (a.k.a. 2x a beer) as opposed to a single, the same amount of heat is absorbed by the mash tun. This causes the temperature of the mash to be higher for the same temperature of mash-in water. I lower the mash-in temp water by a 2-5 degrees to obtain desired results. I probably should be pre-heating the tun, but I don't brew often enough to practice this part of the procedure and it works for me.
Batch #1 - Voss Kviek yeast - Pitch Temp 30 C
1 oz Simcoe
Batch #2 - Hothead ale Kviek yeast - Pitch Temp 30 C
1 oz Citra
Good and useful info on Kviek yeasts:
- Kviek needs yeast nutrient because of high free agent nitrogen usage https://www.escarpmentlabs.com/single-post/2019/10/20/Crispy-brewing-with-kveik
- FAN in wheat malt is lower than Pilsner (Slide 5) https://www.vikingmalt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Wheat-Malt-in-Brewing-2015.pdf
- Pitch rate doesn't matter, final pH in beer is lower for Kviek https://www.escarpmentlabs.com/single-post/2019/11/01/The-impact-of-pitch-rate-on-kveik-ferments

Malt variation notes:

Brew notes:
Pre-boil 1.043 collected 14 or 14.5 gal.

Notes: if your like me and love hops just add an ounce of Cascade to your keg, let it slow carbonate for a 3 or 4 days then take it out and enjoy a great beer!
Adjust your caramel 60L and shoot for an SRM of 8. |

Notes: Use a full rolling boil for 15 minutes to chase off DMS before adding initial hop charge.
Use a boatload of yeast. Expect this to take two full weeks to ferment out fully. You can substitute 34/70 (Imperial Global) for the 860 if desired.
After mostly attenuated, raise the temp to about 58-60.
This beer is off style and has too much hops character, too much alcohol and needs too much yeast, therefore it is only fitting to give it too much carbonation. Try 2.6 to 2.8 volumes. |

Notes: Brewed on 02 Sep 2018
OG: 1.057
FG: 1.016
Attenuation: 71%
ABV: 5.4%
Mill Caramunich separately -- Don't add until beginning of sparge
Yeast Starter - two stage
Stage 1 = 1.25L using 4.43 ounces DME
Stage 2 = 1.6L using 5.68 ounces DME
Brew Notes:
pH came in low (5.18), so added .8g of pickling lime
Fermentation slowed down after day 1, so raised temp to 51 degrees and then to 52 degrees 12 hours later
Fermentation resumed nicely at 52 degrees
after 3 days, forced ferment finished at 1.015
Fast Lager Method Source: http://brulosophy.com/methods/lager-method/
Fermentation:
- Chill wort to 48 degrees
- Oxygenate (lots of oxygen -- at least 90 seconds) Added around 65 seconds
- Ferment at 50 degrees until 50% attenuation (based on fast ferment FG) is reached (4-7 days) -- for this brew 50% attenuation is 1.034
- Remove temperature probe from thermowell and attach to small volume of liquid (to measure ambient air temp)
- Disconnect plug from cooling side of temperature controller
- Slowly raise air temp from 52 degrees to 67 degrees over 36 hours (5 degrees per 12 hours). See STC-1000+ settings below.
- Keep air temp at 68 degrees until fermentation is complete and the yeast clean up after themselves ( 4-10 days)
- Test for Diacetyl and acetaldehyde -- see https://www.winning-homebrew.com/diacetyl-test.html
- When FG is stable and no diacetyl or acetaldehyde is detected,
- ??? Reattach temperature probe from controller into thermowell ???
- Attach CO2 tank and add 1-2 pounds of pressure
- Set up a separate thermometer to monitor temperature of the beer
- Slowly decrease temperature from 68 degrees to 32 degrees over 72 hours (0.5 degrees per hour), then see next step. See STC-1000+ settings below.
- When beer temp is below 50 degrees, add prepared gelatin fining
- 1 tsp gelatin in 1/2 cup water,
- Microwave it in short (7 second) bursts until it reached 145-150°F, stirring with the end of a thermometer between each burst.
- Let beer clarify for a few days, then package
STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Up:
SP0: 51°
dh0: 36 (36 hour free-rise/ramp-up)
SP1: 68°
dh1: 0
STC-1000+ Settings for Fermentation Ramp Down:
SP0: 67°
dh0: 72 (3 day ramp-down)
SP1: 32°
dh1: 0
Packaging:
Keg:
- Transfer beer to keg
- Attach CO2 and set to PSI needed to carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2 @ 32 degrees
- Let beer condition at 32 degrees for a couple weeks
- Tap the keg
Bottles:
- Sanitize bottles
- Add a coopers carb drop to each bottle
- Add beer and cap each bottle
- Put bottles in area of stable ambient temperature of around 70 degrees for a couple weeks (to carbonate the beer)
- Let beer condition at refrigerator temps (32-36 degrees) for another 1-2 weeks
