Thanks. I'm kind of playing it by taste on how long to leave it on the cake. I'd like to go at least two months. Maybe 3. Ideally I'd like to go longer than that. We'll see how much oak flavor is left in this barrel. I've used it a couple times, so there isn't much whiskey or oak left.

Brasserie Maps – 100% Brett Pale Ale

Yeast: Harvested Crooked Stave Brett from 100% Brett Hop Savant
Yeast Starter: Yes
Batch Size (Gallons): 6
Original Gravity: 1.050
Final Gravity: 1.007
IBU: 40 (est. due to no chill)
Boiling Time (Minutes): 45
Color: 6
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp):
10 days open fermentation @ 68 - 70
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 22 @ 68

Tasting Notes:
Pleasant piney/citrus hops with a hint of acid, taste is mega citrus fruit forward followed with a nice tartness and very mellow maltiness, then a crisp dry finish.

Fermentables

5.0 lbs. Two Row
2.5 lbs Belgian Munich
2.0 lbs Oats
0.75 Acid Malt
0.50 Cane Sugar

Scaled Fermentables

˜ 45% Two Row
˜ 25% Belgian Munich
˜ 20% Oats
˜ 5% Acid Malt
˜ 5% Cane Sugar

Hops

1 oz Simcoe @ 20
1 oz Chinook @ 5
1 oz Centennial @ 5
3 oz Simcoe @ 11 Days Dry Hop

Notes:
Mashed @ 148 – 150 F for 120 mins, BIAB & No-chill, Belgian Munich is brighter and less bready than other Munich malts, Oats aid head retention and help with body and mouthfeel – Brett doesn’t produce glycerol (or very little) and glycerol is important for body perception and mouthfeel.

Right on. I'm thinking about building up a starter and doing an IPA with that yeast from your Brett pale ale. Very good stuff.

lsugrad, I sampled my ToD clone tonight. Down to about 1.019 and at 65 degrees. Acidity us just making itself know and the oak barrel seems to oaking at a slower rate than I expected. Might end up being able to keep it in there a good while.

I'll send you some samples the next time that I send a box down to you. The yeast in the bottle was pretty vibrant, it nicely carbed those after only 3 days.

I think that brett strain would make a great IPA and plan to do a big IPA with it later this spring or early summer.

Add 4-5 Grapefruits that have previosouly been frozen cut in half at the same time as the dry hops


Do you do anything else other than just cutting them in half? Grate the skin to release oils? Squeeze out any juice?

I'm thinking of adding some grapefruit to the 100% brett pale ale that I just brewed.

We usually squeeze them out a little bit after they've been in there for the week.

Just wanted to note I entered Bataille des Bieres Homebrew Competition with the Black Ale from here and got a 32! Was really happy with that. I entered it as a 13A. Dry Stout so I lost points for it being lighter bodied than the style suggests but that's one of the things I like about it.

Just curious, where do you guys buy your ingredients? Started brewing about a month ago and have been doing extract, but ready to move to all grain. Any suggestions as where to shop for the freshest ingredients? Best value? Etc? thanks in advance

Depends where you live. If you live in BR, stop by LA Homebrew off of Pecue. If in NOLA, then stop by Brewstock off of Dryades. Both are full service homebrew stores that will have everything you need.

I have one on tap right now that was 11 lbs. vienna, then 1 oz Amarillo at 60, 1 oz at whirlpool, and 1 oz at dry hop for 3-4 days. Mashed at 153. One was fermented with S-05, the other is currently going with Yeast Bay Funktown. The S-05 version is probably the easiest drinking beer I've ever made.

Yea definitely for a pale or IPA keep it between 150 and 152.

I like the resurrection of this thread.

I added the last Pale Ale I did.

I can't believe we didn't have one before now in here.
