Notes: FG of a degassed (vacuum) sample of Drakonic is 1.017 which would indicate an approx OG of 1.084 with 8.75% & WL 001 yeast.

Straight from Drake's website...
Malt: American 2-Row Barley, Weyermann Carafa Special 3, Simpsons Caramel Extra Dark, Simpsons Chocolate, Simpsons Roast Barley, Patagonia Crystal 35
Hops: Bittering – Warrior
Yeast: White Labs 001
Original Gravity: 19.9 degrees Plato
Alc/Vol: 8.75%
IBUs: 40

3/16/17 Brew day: actual mash temps performed are above and main mash Ph was 5.55. Batch sparge was 5.68 Ph. Resulting wort was 5 gal at 1.047 OG for a 65.33% efficiency. Final vol 1.5 gal at 1.106. 70 IBUs Following day read 1.75gal at 1.116 so I diluted with boiled RO water to 2.2 gal at 1.092 and 45 IBU's Added DAP nutrient and shook it up well. BTW Nottingham says on the packet that aeration is not required. I just didn't want a stuck ferment on such a big beer, haven't had one that I recall but I've been brewing 10 years.

3/20/17 Update: The ferment was pretty crazy, luckily it was a small volume in a large container. It tastes sweet but my sample reads 1.014 adjusted which means I have achieved 82% attenuation and 10.2% ABV. Biggest beer I ever made! Planned OG was 1.085 and 40+ IBU's with a BU/GU ratio of .48; I now have a .50 ratio. Not to goal but a good achievement. I would bitter this to 60 IBU's at least if I planned this OG and attenuation.

4/24/17 Update: FG is 1.013 which gives 10.32% ABV. At racking the brew smells somewhat reminiscent of Drakonic but I have little care if it is since it's a different beast. More roast I desire...Lots of booze and some esters present. Can't wait to get my ferm chamber all set up.

Notes: Racking wort onto mango pure then pitching yeast to see if that works for good fruit flavour or not.
--> It didn't work too well so added more after initial fermentation completed.

Note: Jalapeno amount will depend on spiciness, add some to boil, but keep some in reserve for fermenter if needed. For this batch I didn't need to add any into fermenter.

Notes: Pulled form Michael Tonsmeire's book "American Sour Beers". Excellent book, must buy.

Book instructs to ferment on yeast slurry from a flemish red. I will be adding this wort to a yeast cake of Roselare 3763 from a Flanders brown that just finished primary.

Variation - Add medium toasted american oak soaked in red wine after primary. Add more oak as needed @ 6 months. Boil oak for 10 min to reduce tannins. I subbed Chinook for Galena since it is a 90 min addition. Still hit 28 ibu.

Notes: Recipe scaled down for a hopeful 70% efficiency.

For mash, divide 28.5 pounds into the 15-gallon mash-tun and 19 pounds into the 10-gallon mash-tun. Mash with ~10.5 gallons and 7 gallons, respectively.

Notes: You want a high CaCl for this style. My water goes like this, and should be a safe bet if you havent tested your water:
3g CaCl
3g Gypsum
0.5 g Epsom Salts

If the pH is too high, this usually means adding acid malt (~1% of the grist for every intended .1 drop)
If the pH is too low I add chalk (which should ideally be dissolved in carbonated water first) or baking soda (which can be added directly to the mash).

Notes: 3/2/17 brewdate

mashed in a lil hot at 160 using 8 gallon and overshot my roasted barley by an ounce.
OG 1.050 slightly higher than anticipated at 72% and higher volume at 5.5 gallon.

3/15/17
FG on point. Made 2 french presses of tea using 5 oz of whole leaf nice Earl Grey tea. The tea was added to the keg along with 6 oz of maple syrup to carb.
