------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11/8/17: 2L starter with the liquid yeast/
Brewed 11/11/17
Direct heat on oven, constantly recirculating with March pump. Some problems w/ clogging pump. Problematic in terms of keeping the entire mash at the right temperature, stirred occasionally with mash paddle. But more or less seemed to hit temps within a couple of degrees after stirring the mash. This is a time consuming process.
Collected 7.4 gallons of pre-boil wort, 1.077 SG, before sugar addition.
Began boil, added sugar after 45 min.
At knockout, my counterflow chiller got clogged with the large volume of hops. Stirred the wort a bit with my big spoon, then went to Plan B - using my immersion cooler. Chilled to 80F by using near freezing cooling water.
Racked about 5.25 gallons to carboy. Wort looked kind of ruddy brown color - not appealing. May have gotten some darkening from the direct heat mash and / or the long boil. Or maybe the triticale gives the beer a grayish color.
OG was ~ 1.106. So, not great efficiency. Brew day did not go well.
Allowed to cool to 62F. Around 10pm, oxygenated 90s, pitched decanted starter and rehydrated dry yeast.
11/10/17: 8am, fermentation starting. By the morning of 11/11, very active fermentation.
1/5/18: Wheatwine has been in secondary for about a month, with about .75 gal of headspace. Brewed a 1.25 gallon top up with a similar grain bill and pitched some champagne yeast and US-05. Once the fermentation on that was slowing, racked it on to the wheatwine, leaving very little headspace. There was some continuing fermentation as the fresh and alcohol tolerant yeast consumed the remaining simple sugars.
1/19/18: Gravity was 1.020. Sample had a wheaty, malty taste, with thick body, definite alcohol bite, moderately sweet taste balanced by alcohol. I found the booze a bit sharp. Hoping it will melow as the beer ages.
Partigyle Meta-Hefeweissen:
Added 3.25 gallons of 155F water to the mash, collected ~ 3 gallons. Boiled 30 minutes, adding .25 oz of Cascade at start of boil.
Naturally cooled in the winter air overnight. Oxygenated 30s, pitched recycled WLP380 yeast directly from the decanted mason jar.
