== Extract ==
 
 
 
Rosemary extract was made on 1/19 to go with this beer. We'll measure and inject it into the keg according to taste tests. We used 15 grams of rosemary leaves. Have not measured volume, but started with around 225mL of vodka.
 
 
 
Some sediment of seemingly soluble state was in there too, and didn't all stay dissolved. We added more vodka to that and let it sit. The extract is in one of the brown bottles in the wood crate for extract stuff.
 
 
 
On 3/11 we tried the extract with beer samples (we took a quart of beer out during the process).

    0.00456  what was good - can taste both.
 
  
So that's 1:219.3 ratio of rosemary extract to beer.

Tastes like an IPA-porter. Yup. That's what this is.

  • 11 qt water at 160F (intended)
  • 13 qt of water at various temperatures at start (actual)
  • Target temp: 150F
  • Actual temp: 146F (got there 5 minutes into the mash)
  • 65 minutes into the mash, we added 3 quarts of boiling water to step-mash. We were hoping for beta amylase activity.
  • This got us to 158F at 68 minutes.

Add 3 pounds of medium amber malt sugar before boil.

Sparge

  • 12.5 qt, target: 170F

Boil

  • 90 mins
  • At 30 mins, add 2 oz German Northern Brewer hops, pellets, ?% alpha, ? AAU
  • At 85 mins, add 3 oz hops, same as above
  • Chill to 78F, rack through pump
  • After racking - gravity was 1.060, volume was ~6 gallons after adding 2 gal spring water towards the end of the boil.
  • Yield: ~6 gal wort
  • Initial gravity: 1.060

Fermenting

  • Primary ferment: Carboy
  • Pitched Omega Yeast Labs- DIPA Ale yeast OYL-052 - "Ale strain isolated from a famous double IPA brewed in Vermont. Produces a unique ester profile reminiscent of peaches. This strain complements an aggressive use of hops."
  • Secondary ferment: Carboy
  • Racked into secondary 9/9/14. Gravity: 1.014, 6.0% ABV. Dry hopped with Northern Brewer pellet hops, 1 oz, 7.8% alpha. Did kick off additional fermentation - and make a new yeast cake of significant size. Still bubbling a little as of 9/20.

Tasting at Secondary Racking

Tastes like an IPA-porter. Yup. That's what this is.

Kegging

  • Kegged on 10/14/14
  • Final Gravity 1.015
  • Kegged into Keg 6
  • Pressurized to 5 PSI. Placed back in fermenting chamber.
