				Secondary
1/15/12	1.014	6.5	ATC	Bottled

Notes:
Added 1 tbsp 5.2 stabilizer to the mash.

Mashed in 2.5 gal at 168F -> Held Mash at 152F for 60min -> Mash out with 1.5gal at 200F -> Sparge with 3.6gals at 170F

Collected 6.25gal into boil boil.

Pitched Yeast at 68F (No Starter). Not temp controlling during fermentation this batch

12/28/11 – Temp is averaging about 71F. On morning after pitching yeast, temp was at 75F

1/15/12 – Bottled. According to Beersmith 2.4oz corn sugar at 70F should get me 2.0 vols. carbonation. 6.5 Brix/1.014 FG

1/22/12 – Still not carbonated enough. Taste is very lite, but good. Slight hint of maltyness, roast. Reminds me of a bock beer.

1/28/12 – Took 6 to Southern Star Tour for “after taps close” party. Trae and Heather and someone else really like. Flavor light. Turning into a nice session beer.

Notes:

** Brewed for National Homebrew day @ BIY with RC from the KGB **

Mash @ 152F for 60

5/7/11 – Only collected just barely 6 gallons total from mash + sparge. somehow my Beersmith calcs were off somwhere. Got about 4 into fermenter after boil. Pitched Yeast with no starter at 78F

5/26/11 – Racked to secondary. No temp control from here until bottling other than house thermostat with A/C.

10/6/11 – This batch is almost gone, and I forgot to add more notes to this as the batch aged. This beer turned out awesome! definitely one of the best batches made to date. Beer is Hoppy, but not over done. Slight roasty-ness flavor comes through in the finish. This beer was entered into the 2011 Dixie Cup Challenge (category 23b).

Notes:

** NOTE – was able to repair digital probe thermometer that had gotten wet or moisture inside the probe and would only read a constant 253F+ degrees. Found an article on homebrewtalk.com advising to put the probe in the oven. This will dry out any moisture in the probe, and recalibrate the thermometer. Article HERE

2/5/11 -Preparation was EXTREMELY easy. Was done pretty much in less than an hour. Only problem I ran into was that I assumed my primary fermenting bucket (that is primarily for Wine making) was not marked to the 6 gallon mark. Was able to determine that the 6 gallon mark is about 1/8″ above the crease line on the inside of the bucket. Temp was about 74F after topping off the fermenter to the 6gal. mark. Put fermenter in fermentation fridge and let go to 72F before pitching rehydrated yeast (1/2 cup boiled water in a sanitized pyrex measuring cup cooled to 96F. Added yeast and let sit 15 min before stirring).

2/6/11 – at 7am the fermentation temp was at 61F (SP on digi-controller is set at 69F, 2 degree DIF, 3 min ASD)

2/6/11 – 11pm fermentation bubbles at 1 to 3 secs

2/12/11 – Smell during the week coming from the fermenting bucket is not very pleasant. Will take a SG reading and see where it is at.

2/20/11 – racked to secondary. SG is at 0.990 already

3/5/11 – Gravity is sitting at 0.990 (6.5 brix)

3/6/11 – Gravity is sitting at 0.990 (6.5 brix). Went ahead and Cleared and Stabilized. Added about an additional 1/2 cup of water. Not going to top off of to the 2″ mark as instructions advise. Do not want to dilute.

4/18/11 – Taste is improving. More of the fruit flavors and aroma are starting to appear. Definitely needed time to mature.

10/6/11 – Taste has DRAMATICALLY improved with time. Time is key with this wine. You can taste subtle hints of the fruit flavors now such as Pear, or Apple. Down to only about 6 bottles left. just ordered another kit.

– Just a quick and fast IPA

1/30/2011 -Wort cooled to 70F. Racked to Glass carboy, and put in ferment fridge. Yeast pitched at 68F at about 5pm

1/31/2011 – by 7am still no yeast activity.

2/1/2011 – Lag time was a little longer than I would have thought, but fermentation has finally started. Airlock is bubbling 1-2 seconds

2/7/2011 – 7 days and still bublling in the primary. about 1 bubble every 8-9 seconds. Very cloudy in carboy.

2/27/2011 – 1 week in the bottles. still pretty cloudy. taste is great though. very little carbonation for being bottled with 3/4 cup corn sugar.

4/2/2011 – Beer has cleared up a bit actually. taste is still hoppy. Still one of the best IPA’s ive made.
