Notes
**recipe transcribed from original brewing notebook to the best of my ability
Recipe is largely as written from “The Homebrewer’s Recipe Guide”, pp. 15-16.
-45 min boil, turn off heat, remove hops, and sift in flour and stir. Once dissolved add cracked coriander and steep 10 min.
-2 ga. boil, added to 3 ga. H2O (likely what was done for earlier extract recipes as well as couldn’t do full volume boils)
-pitched yeast @ 74F, OG = 1.044
-after 7 days, racked to secondary and dry hopped. SG = 1.014 (2/13)
-after an additional 8 days (2/21) bottled w/1.25c wheat DME in 1 pt. H2O. FG = 1.010
-very vigorous primary fermentation - out of airlock
-everyone really liked this beer, and I rebrewed it a couple of times over the years
—
made again 6/13/04 with allegedly identical procedure
-pitched yeast @ 74F, OG = 1.044
-again observed vigorous germentation the next day
-SG = 1.014 on day 8
__
made again 8/18/13 almost the same as before
-used all DME: 4 2/3# in total of wheat LME
-used WLP400 White Labs pitchable tube yeast
-used 1c of wheat flour (!) “since scale was busted”
-2 ga boil, brought up to 5 ga.
-pitched yeast @ 72F; OG = 1.043
-primary: bubbling 1-2/sec in 24 hrs, very vigorous; bubbling ceased by day 6
-secondary: racked to 2ndary on day 7, still lots of kraused (!). SG = 1.022
-8/24 “thin krausen and visible fermentation (bubble ~every 10 sec) after 24 hrs.
-8/29 SG - 1.011
