263 | <p>* Brew Day Notes<br> |
| 264 | <br> |
| 265 | Batch was a bit screwed up ... Steve milled the grains for me, but he did not quite get the instructions and *only* milled the leftover ingredients, and for the chocolate malt which he did weigh he used the scale in ounces mode and misread 5oz as 0.5lbs. I almost gave up, but Rebecca suggested that I use a coffee grinder... I tried a bit, and it seemed OK (at least for flavor grains that don't need to be mashed...) and the following were ground that way:<br> |
| 38e5a5e2 |
266 | <br> |
| 267 | - 3oz chocolate malt (weighed with my digital tea scale)<br> |
| 268 | - 1/2lbs black patent (american six row instead of british as well)<br> |
| 269 | - 3/4lbs 80⁰L Crystal<br> |
| 270 | <br> |
| 271 | The amounts of steeping grains are as a result of this pretty inexact--the amounts we had leftover were not recorded quite exactly, and my kitchen scale is only really accurate to 1/8-1/4lbs.<br> |
| 272 | <br> |
| 273 | The steeping process was not ideal, I used a bit less water than I should have (2quarts), struck at 170⁰F, but the oven was broken and I used a crock pot (which was able to hold the temperature of water fairly well, I think the water needed to strike at a higher temperature for that much grain but I have to calculate that... and should have used more water anyway). The final temperature was 158⁰F.<br> |
| 274 | <br> |
| 275 | After this debacle, however, brewing went smoothly. No boilovers, everything was added on time. The new wort chilling setup worked remarkably well--using ice water in a tub and a pump the wort was at 74⁰F in 18 minutes.<br> |
| 276 | <br> |
| 277 | Two star anise pods were used, and these weighed 2.7g. The recipe notes call for 10-14g because I am an idiot and have no idea how much they actually weighed :).<br> |
| 278 | <br> |
| 279 | OG = 1.072 @ 74F (1.074 corrected). I feared the ibeer would have a husky astringent flavor from the makeshift grind, but it was not. There was a strong nose of molasses and anise, with a mellow anise flavor at the end.<br> |
| 280 | <br> |

281 | * Fermentation Notes<br> |
| 282 | <br> |
| 283 | Fermentation did not take off for 36 hours. At the 30 hour mark I sanitized the wort stirring spoon with rubbing alcohol and agitated the yeast cake; this resulted in the fermentation starting farily quickly. I assume the yeast were compacted enough and old (the previous beer had sat on the cake for around six weeks due to unexpected scheduling problems and a member of the brewing team being sick for over a week). After it started, however, it was quite vigorous (over 4 bubbles per second from the airlock, and more wort churning than I've seen before).<br> |
| 284 | <br> |
| 285 | 2011-01-16 <br> |
| 286 | 19:30 @ 72⁰F: Racked onto brown ale ringwood cake<br> |
| 287 | <br> |
| 288 | 2011-01-17 <br> |
| 289 | ... @ 68⁰F No activity to report<br> |
| 290 | <br> |
| 291 | 2011-01-18<br> |
| 292 | 00:30 @ 68⁰F: Still no activity, sanitized wort spoon with rubbing alcohol and agitated the yeast cake to suspend compacted yeast<br> |
| 293 | 13:49 @ 68⁰F: Finally active. 1" krausen, airlock bubbling 2/s<br> |
| 294 | 14:35 @ 70⁰F: 3/s, 2" Krausen. Turning fan on 1/3 and adding water to tray<br> |
| 295 | 22:00 @ 68⁰F: 4/s<br> |
| 296 | <br> |
| 297 | 2011-01-19<br> |
| 298 | 02:00 @ 67⁰F: 5/s<br> |
| 299 | 13:07 @ 67⁰F: 3/s<br> |
| 300 | 23:30 @ 66⁰F: 1/2, krausen receding. Fast and furious fermentation!<br> |
| 301 | <br> |
| 302 | 2011-01-20<br> |
| 303 | 03:00 @ 64⁰F: 1/[2s]. Replacing wet tshirt with a dry one, and removing water from tray. Krausen almost entirely gone.<br> |
| 304 | 20:00 @ 67⁰F: 1.[5s]. Krausen is gone<br> |
| 305 | <br> |
| 306 | ... no readings, average temp 68⁰F ...<br> |
| 307 | <br> |
| 308 | 2011-01-26 @ 68⁰F: Racking to secondary to free up the main fermenter. SG = @ 68⁰F = 1.016 (1.018 adjusted, on target).<br> |
| 309 | <br> |
| 310 | * Bottling<br> |
| 311 | <br> |
| 312 | 2011-03-09 -- Yeah, that sat in secondary for a while... at least it wasn't on the yeast cake.<br> |
| 313 | <br> |
| 314 | Primed with 4.3oz corn sugar in 1qt distilled water<br> |
| 315 | <br> |
| 316 | Yield: 38 x12oz bottles + 5x22oz bottles<br> |
| 317 | <br> |
| 318 | SG @ 68⁰F = 1.016 (1.018 adjusted, on target) |
