Finish Vol = 6.5 gal (68F), 6.77 gal (212F)
(Volume into Fermentor = 6 gal)
Ratio = 7.9/6.5 = 1.215
Gravity ~ 45 * 1.215 ~ 55
12 gms of citrus zest will equal around 500 ICUs, per Shaun Hill's metric.

Notes: FOR FIVE GALLON BATCH (2.5 gallon batch sizes in parentheses)
Boil
(2) 4 cinnamon sticks at 10 min
(4 Tbsp) roasted Hatch peppers at 10 min
(2) 4 oz cocoa powder at 0 min
Primary
1 vial of ClarityFerm
Secondary
(1) vanilla bean
(2) 3 cinnamon sticks
(3.5) 7 oz cacao nibs
(2 Tbsp) 4 Hatch peppers
Making a New Mexican version of a killer beer style. How's it New Mexican? I'm using Hatch chiles instead of seranno peppers. Also, because I'm a gringa, am halving the pepper content--I can't take the heat.
Made gluten-free (or gluten-removed) for the Wife.
From the original recipe: "My inspiration for this idea is a Mexican hot chocolate. Sweet chocolate and cinnamon taste with a hint of spiciness from the cayenne. I used bakers chocolate melted in a cup of water in this batch because the first one tasted a bit chalky when i used cocoa powder. i also used Zimbabwe Bird peppers not Seranno but they are close on the Scoville scale."

Notes: I've been sad that I couldn't do all grain because I only have a 5 gal pot. Then I realized that I can absolutely do a smaller batch to get my feet wet until I can afford that big brew kettle. So I built the mash tun and made an immersion chiller while I was at it. I created the recipe using Brewtarget and scaled for the 4.5 gal maximum I could boil.
Anyway, this is what I came up with for my first all grain brew. I wanted to keep it simple and basic. We'll see how it tastes and then work on repeating it. Once I can repeat it well I will begin with simple modifications. Then I will take over the world.....or just drink beer.
So far I've learned a lot. The mash process was fun and interesting. I will be working on reducing liquid loss in the tun for sure.
Fermentation just didn't seem to be happening. The yeast packet says to just sprinkle on the wort. Instead I took about a third of the packet and stirred it in, sprinkled the rest on top. Wort was at 73*, right in the range the yeast had called for. Nothing.
By Tuesday I decided to buy another packet of yeast. Sprinkled all on top. Two more days of nothing.
Then I brought the fermenter in to the kitchen. Within 30 minutes the airlock was speaking to me. Within two hours it was speaking loudly. It seems that this yeast doesn't like the cold of the 56* beer closet. The kitchen is always either 68* or 62* (programmable thermostat for the house) and it likes this much better.
So now that I have a 10 gallon pot and grain mill on order, I know what the next area of focus will be. It's time to start thinking about temperature control. I want to do it as green a possible. Insulation. Digital temperature monitoring and control using the Arduino. Could be fun.
Update: A week after bottling we tried two of these. The beer is amazingly clear with a color that is a very dark amber, not quite brown. There is a very fruity smell. Unfortunately they both tasted like vinegar. I'm not sure the cause, maybe sanitation. Maybe too high of fermentation temp? Maybe I got overanxious and overpitched the yeast? I'm thinking that it had something to do with the point at which I added that second packet of yeast and that the vigorous fermentation could have been a clue that something went wrong. |

Notes: - Tasting notes: Color is perfect. Clarity (whirlfloc + gel) really helped. Lacing and head are spot on. The bittering could come up a tick (from 60 to 70 perhaps.) Amarillo feels pretty orang'y and almost mellow! Maybe try the same recipe but swap some of the Amarillo for Cascade or event Centennial (more aggressively citrus'y.) I think using two "aroma" hops isn't enough. Something heavy hitting like Simcoe, Centennial, etc is needed for the heavy, hoppy backbone...
Now to try Centennial instead of Citra and make the adjustments mentioned above: http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/91377/hopstand-ipa-v4-centennial-amarillo |

Notes on WLP005 Yeast:
Bottom fermenting ale yeast. White Labs recommends keeping in primary until fermentation is complete. Known as "ringwood". Esters and Fusel Alcohol noticeable. Best at 68 F. Over will increase ester and fusel alcohol notes. 7-10 fermentation. Serve-able within 2 weeks.
http://www.whitelabs.com/beer/audio/wlp005.mp3
Ideas for V4
- Longer Mash , 90 min. Temp swing will spend more time in lower 150's, upper 140's. More fermentable sugars = dryer finish. Full bodied porter with dry (non-sticky) finish would be tasty)
Changes from V3 to V3.1 (Gordon Strong suggestions)
- Crystal 60 up to 1 lb
- Brown down to .5 lb
- Infusion Mash at 151
- Ferment at 62, move it to 68 to finish, will make for a very clean profile
Changes from V2:
- Slightly expanded grain bill. Attempting to reduce some of the roasted-coffee qualities.
- Different hop profile to lower IBU's, balance porter more in favor of malt.
- Change over to Vanilla Extract for better vanilla flavor control
- Changing Cinnamon/Vanilla addition to Primary to increase presence
Changes from V1:
- Focused grain bill
- Removal of Roasted Barley in favor of Flaked Oats for less dryness, more silkiness
- Addition of Carapils for body
- Focused Hop bill - change to Northern Brewer for cleaner bittering
- Original Yeast blend was a limited offering. Change to British Ale Yeast WLP005
