Notes

Recipe Notes
------------------
12/19/2025: A much lighter, sweeter beer. Color is almost there. Caramel does not come through to my nose.
12/03/2025: Looking to try an overnight mash with the next brewing. Will Mash in @ 150(ish) for at about 8pm the night before, brewing at 6am the following morning. Then a quick raise to 158 to finish it off.

Ingredient Notes
----------------------
12/19/2025: Removing the aciduated malt from grist. Something go tease the red out?
08/24/2025: Very sweet, bisuity, malty, deep malty almost caramel comes out as it warms. When cold is
08/09/2025: Early yet... but much sweeter than other versions (golden promise pale), light cracker or biscuit, but doesn't feel warm. Would go back to a Maris Otter, maybe with a touch of pale to bring out the sweet. Increase caramel malts a touch to contribute to warmth and sweet.7/23/2025: Pushing the water big time... pushed up all ions, and went fucking crazy with RA and Alkalinity - both are way higher with this on as I worked to Palmer's numbers. Focusing on those numbers in the water profile, not in the mash.
7/23/2025: Reduced the Artisan Fuggle amount from .5 to .1 to lower than IBUs a bit.
7/23/2025: Added Aciduated malt to manage pH without adding acids.
7/23/2025: Modified the recipe a bit to try to layer the biscuit, toffee and caramel flavors and keeping it sweet - but balanced.
-------------
3/29/2025: Lower fermentation temp to 65f... where we normally do. Way too carmelly... perhaps lower temp will help?
3/17/2025: More Centennial.
12/18/2024: Matched the water profile to Viking Blood to get malty.
12/15/2024: Roasted malt, Caramel 120L reduced to 1oz each. Moved middle Kent Golding to 10 minutes, and Falconers to .25oz.
------------
12/11/2024: Used the Viking Blood specialty malts, and left the 60L to make it somewhat unique.
12/11/2024: Added Falconer Flight at 5 min. Looking to get a bit of a tropical touch/note to the beer to illustrate the beauty of hops.
------------
4/14/2024: Keep the Roasted Malt in - it's going to add depth to the flavor.

Brewing Notes
-------------------
3/2/2025: Push the RA value closer to 20 for next brew. Already set to about 16... will hold there to see how next brew comes out.

Fermentation Notes
--------------------------
3/6/2025: Fermentation stopped at about 1.020 - was again looking for 1.015. I could coax gravity down to 1.018 by raising the temperature to 72f, and stirring the yeast cake well. Saw pops into 1.017 overnight, but likely will not stick. Lowering the temperature back to 65*f today and letting the beer sit and clear.
12/21/2024: Fermentation stuck at 1.021 (looking for 1.014). I added yeast nutrients as well. Not the first time this has happened with this yeast.... It could be old yeast, the water chemistry, or the pH was too low (we can measure that). It could just be we can't use this yeast!
