Notes: Leftover grains from previous recipes. Too much diastatic power of the grain, possibly caused by excessive base malts and the use of wheat malt (commonly uses as the main base malt in wheat beers) leads to increased OG and ABV (drier finish). Maybe compensate with higher mash temps (less fermentable wort), though not advisable.
Closest style maybe Altbier, both in color and IBU. Altbiers usually discard late hop additions for aroma, but a german noble hope like Saaz fits wel is not uncommon, if in low quantitiesl. On brew day, maybe an additional 0.5 oz on the bittering hops. BJCP style guidelines place bitterness from 35 to 50 IBU.
Common for Altbiers to adopt 75-90 min boils. Mash usually at lower end temps (64.4-65.5) for "more fermentable sugars and that crisper mouthfeel". Consider mashing at slightly higher temps for smaller attenuation and higher FG, although BJCP advises to "mash low at 144º - 148º F for a higher degree of fermentabilty and greater attenuation if doing a single-infusion mash" |

Notes:
Spices; Put 3/4 of the spice mix in boil, Put remaining in a tiny bit of vodka to make an extract sat for a week (Mikey was born!) (add to bottling bucket).
1) did 7gfuggles and 31g tettnang because i didn't have kent goldings Doh! Carb to 2.5 vols. tasted good at bottling! Finished at 1.016 as planned.. Note at bottling: should I take mash temp to 152 vice 154? Revisit once carved/aged..
Taste notes: under carbonated, crashed too long and need to adjust for 5.5 gallons beer vice 5.. All beers seem a bit undercarbbed. This beer is mediocre at best, lacks spiced character.. A lot of body and fermentation character. I guess I just maybe like dryer beers. Add more pumpkin and more spices, mash lower |

Notes: Just got a kegging setup with a chest freezer and temperature controller. So, this will be my first lager and first keg. I plan to leave at 51 for 10 days, or until fermentation slows. Then, I will bring it to room temperature for 3-4 days. Finally, I will lager at 35 for 4 weeks.
When I think of lager, I think of extra light, crisp, session beer. So, that is what I am going for here. The recipe was invented estimating 65% efficiency, and I got 78%. I started milling my grain with a different mill, (not the giant one at S2A brewery, but their smaller one), and I also built a heatstick and carefully verified each temperature during sparging and step mash. The step mash will hopefully result in a stupidly high attenuation- I would like a FG in the 1.00x range.
This is also the first batch I have tried toasting my own grains, I toasted 8 oz of 2 row at 300 degrees for 30 minutes for approximately 20L. I put 4oz of that in the mash, along with 8 oz of Crystal 10L.
The second time I make this I am going to try simply using 8 oz of home toasted 20L and no storebought crystal 10L.
First time around, planned Wyeast Pilsen Lager, LHBS sent WLP Pilsner, so I pitched both. Second time, LHBS was out of those, so I am using 1pk Wyeast American Lager and 1pk WLP American Lager. Additionally, the 2nd time I am going to do a 2L starter (with 2pk yeast) to get to the needed ~400billion cells, and I am going to krausen after primary is almost done, by reserving ~2L of wort and pitching a 3rd packet of (Wyeast American Lager) into it after around a week. I may also add 1 lb of instant grits, if I can find any with no added ingredients. This would make the beer more to style.

Notes: WLP566 gjæret på høy temperatur, ananasjuice og Citra-humle gir denne saisonen mange tropiske preg, vi kaller den derfor polytropia!
Den er dog ikke et polytropt fluid. (les: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane%E2%80%93Emden_equation)
Om vi skulle laget den på nytt, hadde vi heller pasteurisert ananas og hatt det i en eventuell sekundærgjæring.

| Notes: Brewed 1/5/2014. Strike water was 168F and I over shot to about 153F. Recirculated about 15 gal of the mash which brought it down to 151F. Decided I should top off with a quart of cold water which brought it down to 147F. Then added a pint of boiling water which made it 148F. Next time maybe I should shoot for 149? pH was actually 5.0 which I think it way too low. I ended up adding .2 grams of pickling lime about 30min in to see if I could bump it up a bit. pH sample from about 50min put the mash at 5.15. Boil kettle efficiency was 1.047 which puts the efficiency at 89%. Hit 1.058 on the nose but I probably got about 6 gallons. Forgot to put the 0 min hop addition in so I might DH with that. I was worried about not getting enough volume from the 90min boil so I turned it down at about 20min. I probably ended up with about level with the false bottom left in the kettle so there was a bit left over so 8.75 or 9gal is probably right on for a 90min boil. Pitching temp was about 68F. 1/6/14 temp was about 67F so I decided to put an aquarium heater in the bath to bump up the temp. 1/6/14 evening temp was holding at 70F and I turned off the heater mid-day. 1/7/14 turned on the aquarium heater in the morning and bumped it up to 72F. 1/8/2014 kicked the heat up to 74F, stepped it up to 76F in the evening cuz fermentation is slowing a bit. 1/9/2013 kicked it up to 78F, will probably leave it there for about a week. I am considering dry hopping for about 7 days also. Took a gravity reading on 1/20 and it was about 1.009. Thinking I will probably leave it for another week in primary and I also dry hopped it today. 1/24/14 took out of swamp bath at 78F and biofined with 2 tbs of biofine. Kegged 1/27/14. Should force card to about 2.4 volumes of C02. Beer was different than the one I made before. In the future I will probably stick with Belgian Pilsner for the base. |
