Notes: 1. Measure a minimum of 11.5 litres of water to the kettle and heat the water.
2. Once the temperature of the water has reached 65 C, place your nylon bag with the crushed specialty grains into the kettle. You will steep the grains for 25 minutes keeping the water between 65C-73C. Do not let the water get above 76C as this will extract astringent tannins from the grains. Following the 25 min steep, remove the bag, compost the grains, and wash the bag for future use.
3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, remove the kettle from the heat, and add the malt extract. Stir it in with your long handled spoon to prevent it from burning on the bottom of the kettle. Bring the mixture to a boil again.
4. Once boiling, add the hops as per the times and weights in the recipe.
5. During the boil, it is a good time to sterilize all of the fermentation equipment. The bucket, lid, air-lock, rubber stopper etc., must be sterilized properly.
6. Once the 60 minutes is up, remove the wort from the heat and cool it to at least 27C as quickly as possible. This can be accomplished by using a special wort chiller (immersion chiller, counter-flow chiller or cold plate) or by simply placing the boil kettle (lid on) in an ice bath in the sink, bathtub or other container large enough.
7. Once the wort is chilled, pour it in the fermentation bucket aggressively allowing for aeration (but being careful not to splash it on the floor!). Next, if necessary, add cold water to top up to 20 litres of water.
8. At this time you may take a sample of wort and using the hydrometer measure the original gravity (OG). This will help you determine the alcohol content after fermentation has ended.
9. Now is the time to add the yeast. If using yeast from a pouch use sterile scissors to cut it open and add it to the wort. Ensure you have followed the instructions for the yeast. Now stir the wort vigorously using the long handled spoon to aerate the wort. This will ensure there is enough oxygen for the yeast. Fermentation will occur the best for this yeast between 18-23°C.
10. Fermentation will begin within 48 hours. After 4-7 days the krausen will break up. At this point leave the fermenting wort in the primary container for the remainder of the fermentation period. Allow the wort to ferment for 2 weeks minimum.
11. Following fermentation, it is time to bottle or keg. Be sure to sterilize all of the equipment needed before beginning (bottles and caps or a keg, bottling wand, racking cane, tubing, long handled spoon, bottling bucket).
12. In order to carbonate your beer in the bottle you need to prime the batch. Measure two cups of water into a small pot and add 165 g of the remaining DME sugar. Boil for 5 minutes to sterilize. Add the boiled syrup to your bottling bucket, and transfer (rack) the beer into this bucket. Gently mix the beer to ensure the syrup is evenly distributed throughout the beer. You DO NOT want to aerate the beer.
13. Now take a second gravity reading, this will be your final gravity (FG) and can be used with your OG to calculate alcohol percentage.
14. Transfer the beer from the bottling bucket into your bottles. Allow 2-3 weeks for carbonation / conditioning.
15. Once conditioned you can store the beer in cool or cold storage. When your patience has reached its limits, open a cold beer, pour into a clean glass and leave the layer of sediment in the bottom of the bottle. Sit back and enjoy!

Notes: Yeast over-attenuated and resulted in a drier beer and higher alcohol content than expected. Very green tasting for the first few weeks. At about 3 weeks it was pretty good but not as good as my last version. Great haze and color. Bitterness is not as high as recipe suggests. |

Notes: I made this nano-batch years ago and just recently found the old notes buried in some luggage. When I look back on this, I *think* I built this recipe around some leftovers from other experiments; It almost looks as I was making a stout of all possible stouts. The brew (#184935) earned a "good" rating at one of the AHA sanctioned competitions, but I think the competition was a bit rigged. I already knew something about the judge, and he was a crook who kowtowed to the grandmaster of this particular brewing region. I'd like to be able to make this one again, and in a much larger quantity -- after I have refreshed my mind on the subject. [There's much more to this that what appears.] I used to really enjoy brewing at home and sharing the product until I butted heads with some of the more egotistical types.
BTW - I *did* place third in the Mixed Styles at one of the Queen of Beer competitions that took place during the mid 90s and another brew scored a 42/50 at a St. Pat's (Austin) competition, circa the same time. With an amber-isch ale and a robust porter. I entered the second contest under a fictitious man's name.

Notes: 1. Prepare 6 L of water and heat to 67 C. Once ready add your steeping grains and mash for 1 hour (maintaining 65-67 C) Do this by placing a lid on the pot, at the end of the hour raise the temperature to 75 C and hold for 10 minutes. Then strain the liquid through a sieve into pot and boil for 30 minutes.
2. In a separate pot add 1 litre of water and bring to the boil (hold the boil for 30 minutes.
3. Add 25g of African Queen Hops to the water for the full 30 minute boil.
4. Add 20 g of the Mosaic hop after 20 minutes of boiling (10 minutes in the boil).
5. Strain the hop water though a sieve into the wort you produced from steeping the grains.
6. Add the contents of the Black Rock Pale Ale Can to your sanitised fermenter.
7. Add the wort produced from the steeped grains and the hop water to the fermenter.
8. Mix everything together well and then top up the fermenter with cold water to 20L, take a hydrometer reading at this point and record the figure for later.
10. Check the temperature is below 25 C, if so you can add the Verdant IPA yeast to the mixture.
11. Place the lid of the fermenter on firmly and insert the airlock using sanitiser or sterile water or vodka in the airlock.
12. On day 4 of fermentation add your remaining Mosaic and Arfican Queen hops to a sanitised hop sock and drop it into the fermenter.
13. After 7 days from the start of fermentation, check again with the hydrometer to establish if primary fermentation is complete, if you have the same reading for two days in a row primary fermentation should be complete. If so you can go ahead and bottle the batch.
14. Bottle as normal using your priming method of choice.

Notes: Put only one cup of Liquid Malt in boil at 60 minutes, added the remainder at 3 minutes. Started boil with 3 gallons, it reduced to about 2.25 or so. Topped off with about 3.25 gallons if ice water. No chiller needed! Dry hopped with 2 ounces of Cascade and 1 ounce of Pallisade at 7 days. Racked to secondary at 14 days, also dryy hopped with one ounce of Citra whole cone in a bag. Plan to store inside for three days then cold crash at day 17 outside (average daytime temp about 54 degrees, night time about 38 degrees). |
