Notes: Mash low, after mashing and sparging briefly raise temp to pasteurise wort. Cool to about 40 C
Before adding lactobacillus sp. lower pH to 4.5;
Keep bacteria in the kettle until pH drops to 3.4
Then boil normally with hops schedule.
Ferment
Add 900g of pureed blackcurrant to secondary for 7 days. Use hop bag for berries.
update 15/12/2018
Bottled, took pH and it came to 3.25 which is very sour. Tastes sour and dry.
update 02/12/2019
Opened a bottle after 2 weeks conditioning. The sourness is much better and rounder. Galaxy complements berries very well. Very nice easy-drinking beer. |

| Notes: It's brown, it's named after a large North American ungulate, and its name suggests oral incontinence. Ah, we market product with our minds, but we drink beer with our mouths! Which is why this American brown ale is your new favorite session beer. Dense layers of malt, caramel, baking chocolate, and a hint of light-roast coffee give way to reveal a hop character you'll be surprised to find if you're used to drinking English brown ale. The finish is complex but balanced, and the gravity is not so high as to keep you from having another. |

Notes: Of all the lagers I've made, this is the closest to commercial pilsners and is very similar to Peroni, Budweiser, Corona etc. It benefited from spending a few weeks in an outdoor shed in winter - a few freezing nights helped make it very bright and clear.
To make the lager dry and crisp, the recipe uses quick-cook rice and quick-cook polenta (the nearest things I could find in the drop-down menu were "flaked rice" and "grits", but I didn't use these). Because these adjuncts are "quick cook", they don't need a cereal mash - they just need to be cooked to make them mushy and expose the starch.
First prepare your water (profile light colored and malty). Then take a few litres out of it to boil the rice and polenta as per intructions on the packet. Let the pan of mushy rice + polenta fall to strike temp and simply tip it into the tun with the mash water at same strike temperature. Easy.
I did a full-volume mash for convenience and to save time. Efficiency will be a bit higher if you sparge. |

Notes: Wildflower Honey, sweet orange peel, and chamomile bring a new level to this refreshing brew inspired by a Belgian Wit.
This one is a real crowd-pleaser. Everyone wants a bottle or three of their own. Please note the fact that it is a bit mead-like in texture, sweetness and mouthfeel. I'm thinking of making the next batch a bit more hoppy. Maybe double the boil hop and/or dryhop.
1oz Sweet Orange Peel added to kettle with 5 minutes remaining in the boil.
2oz Chamomile added to kettle with 2 minutes remaining in the boil
Basic Guidelines:
Steep the crushed grains in 1.5 gallons of 160-degree water for 30 minutes. Remove and sparge into the boil kettle with the heat off add all extracts and sugars to the kettle and stir to dissolve completely. Carefully bring to a boil, stirring to avoid scorching and watching for boil-overs. Once a rolling boil is complete, remove from heat and begin to cool; an ice bath or a wort chiller helps to bring the temperature down quickly. When the wort is cool, add it to a clean and sanitized fermentor. Add water until the volume is 5 gallons if necessary. Once the wort has dropped to below 80-degrees, aerate well (don't forget to take a hydrometer reading) and pitch the yeast. Attach a blow-off tube and ferment at desired temperature for the yeast strain. Rack to a secondary fermentor when krausen (head of foam) has receded and beer begins to clear. After fermentation and conditioning are complete, bottle or keg your beer. Allow to condition and enjoy! |

Notes: My first brewing trials were at best uninformed at worst misguided. The advice from my LHBS wasn't enough for a clear explaination until, the suggestion of Dave Lines' books published by AW. With these (the big book of beer & brewing beers like those you buy) in hand the procedure became understandable and process replicable.
This was a while ago in the mid-80's when home brewing information, ingredients, recipes, equipment, and knowledgble dialogue not as simple to find as it can be today. My interest piqued I continued to seek information and put what I learned into practice learning to brew beer. It was a lot of fun to make and enjoy a homebrewed beer. It still is!
Thanks for the help Dave. This batch is for the memory of you and your efforts are remembered and appreciated.
Thanks for the learning experience.
Cheers.

Vienna Malt 4%
Colour 13,5 EBC
Bitterness: 46 IBU
Starting Gravity 1.060 (15 plato)
Finishing Gravity 1.014 (3.5 plato)
Mash Temperature: 66 degrees celsius
Boil Time: 90 minutes
First hops: Northern Brewer at start of boil 5 IBU
Second Hops: Last 10 minutes of the boil
Cascade (8%) 3.5 IBU
Citra (4%) 3.5 IBU
Irish Moss
End of boil
Whirlpool addition: Citra (88%) 35 IBU
The vast majority of our hoppy beers get their bitterness from hopping in the whirlpool. So with the Oregonian the end hop is added during the whirlpool.
Oregonian is also dry hopped with Citra at a rate of 1.8g per litre. |
