Notes
Mash: 90 Minutes
Heat 21 qts H2O to 130 F. Grain temp 70.3. Strike temp 123.6
Wait 10 min for pH check. This batch I adjusted pH with 1 tsp citric acid. Initial pH was 6.0, lowered to 5.6.
30 Minute rest at 122.
Began recirculation thru coil at 60 mins. HLT/coil gradually increasing from 130 up to 180 at finish. Mash temp will gently rise from 122 up to 155 at finish. Will take 45-60 minutes.
Collect 1.5 gallons 1st runnings then begin fly sparge, approx 2.5 gals., to collect 6.5-7 gals wort in kettle.
Boil:
Pre boil gravity on first attempt was 1.046.
Add Hersbrucker at 60 minutes.
Add Coriander seeds at 30 minutes.
Post boil gravity 1.053
Add lemongrass, lime zest and saphir at whirlpool. Steep 20 minutes.
Knock out @ 68-70 F and aerate. Sprinkle with one pack of MG Wit Yeast.
We had 5.75 gal go in the fermenter.
Good activity after 18 hours.
Day 7: Prepare extraction: combine bruised lemongrass, star anise pods, chrysanthemum blossoms, cracked pepper, cracked cinnamon stick, additional lime zest in 1 cup 80 proof vodka. Allow to sit for 7 days. Strain, squeezing out all liquid.
Bottling: Day 14
Our post fermentation gravity was 1.014 for 4.99 % Wonderful nose and golden straw color.
Dissolve 2.5 oz. corn sugar in 1 cup deoxy water.
Purge bottling bucket with CO2.
Rack to bottling bucket. We racked 5.25 gals
Add priming liquor and strained liquor extract to bottling bucket. Stir to combine. Wonderful aroma!
Bottle and rest at cellar temp for 2 weeks.
This beer was brewed to celebrate a bachelors' party prior to Vietnamese wedding. ABV adjusted after addition of liquor extract was about 5.5%
