4 Dog Brewery

Definitely a pilot brew. Any harsh or grainy flavours with this beer and something is definitely wrong with my procedure. I am busy this summer and I need to get these off flavours under control. Nothing to hide in this recipe, either good or bad and that will be that. Robobrew Ingredients 11 lbs. OIO 8 ozs. Wheat 63.5 g  Tettnanger at 60 min.

Still using up my hops I bought a year ago. Getting there, although, I do like the style but you use a ton of hops to make this. I ran out of Chinook. The one that was inside had Tettnanger in it. Good, now I can make a Kolsch after this one. Ingredients 11.50 lbs. Simpsons Golden Promise 4 ozs. Munich I 4 ozs. C 40 .75 ozs. Special III 260 g of Citra and Chinook  Nottingham ( 2 sachets ) Mash Water - 25 L Sparge Water - 2 gallons DRY HOPPED IN THE FERMENTER THE LAST 7 DAYS OF FERMENTATION ( APRIL 28 ) O.G. - 1.048 F.G. - % - SRM - 7 BU - 50 PH - 5.33                                                                 Brew Day Mashing at 150 F. Not using my big sparge tank as the 2 gallon mark is below the element. Heating the sparge in my pot on the stove. Not an issue. Threw my back out, so this is a very painful brewday. ...

Marty's Merlot O.G. - 1.092 R.G. - 1.010 F.G. - .992 % - 13.6 Chris's Chardonnay O.G. - 1.092 R.G. - 1.010 F.G. - .992 % - 13.6 Temperature is 68 F, a little low. I like to be around 72 F. Turned on portable heater but it has no temperature control so I will have to check it often. Wall heater not hooked up yet. Rack both wines to carboys and add stuff as per instructions. Check gravity around May 1st or so which is 8 days after racking to carboys. After all the additions are done, 11 days will be past and I can go ahead and filter and bottle. That will be around May 13 which is when I want to open the pool. I will figure something out. Most likely open the pool and filter wine while it is clearing. I got a lot of trub in my carboy when I racked it. Only takes a small shake of the wand and you are screwed. I finished it but got more trub than I wanted. However, it only sits on it for 10 days. Try to be more careful with Marty's wine when you can't see shit when racking....
