- .5 tsp
Wyeast Nutrient - (omitted from calculations)
Wyeast Nutrient
Although wort is a good growth medium for yeast, additional Wyeast Nutrient will reduce lag time, improve yeast viability and provide consistent attenuation rates. Low assimilable nitrogen concentrations (FAN) of grape must or wort have long been known as a cause of sluggish or stuck fermentations. Wyeast yeast nutrient, a blend of vitamin B's, minerals, inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (amino acids), zinc, phosphates and other trace elements will benefit yeast growth and carbohydrate uptake for a more rapid, complete fermentation. Use 1/4 tsp per pint for beer propagation, 1 tsp per 5 gallons for wine or beer fermentation or 1.5 oz per 10 barrels for beer fermentation.

Wyeast 1056 American Ale™
Wyeast 1056 American Ale™
Used commercially for several classic American ales. This strain ferments dry, finishes soft, smooth and dean, and is very well balanced.

It started with racking off the dry hops and bottling my 75min Downsy Hatch 3PA, then onto the main event. Centennial Celebration Ale came about on my first triple IPA attempt. The copious use of Centennial hops created a very unique citrus/floral beer with a very refreshing taste. It was light in color and was not bitter despite almost a full pound of hops used. Hard to call it a Triple, and so it was dropped from the name. This brings us to the latest in my Triple Hoption series, and by far the biggest; Tualatin Centennial Celebration 100min 3PA. Grains were steeped @ 170 for 30 mins then sparged with 1 gal boiling water. .75 gal of the grain only wort was added to 12lbs of LME and heated separately. After the yeast has worked through most of the solids in the wort, 3lbs of Corn sugar will be boiled into a syrup and added to reinvigorate and provide easily fermentable sugars to up the ABV% w/o making the beer too "hot" with alcohol burn. Bottled with Cooper Tun Carbonation Drops. 2 drops per 22oz bottle Grain wort only OG: 1.007 Wort at end of boil OG: 1.056 Wort 5 days in w/ corn sugar: 1.078 Secondary Gravity: 1.010 approx 8.908 % abv FG at bottling: 1.010 Brew Date: Saturday May 4th, 2013 Secondary: Thursday June 6th, 2013 Dry Hopped: Saturday June 15th, 2013 Bottled: Wednesday June 26th, 2013 Served on: Thursday July 25th, 2013 5 gallons were racked and bottled, 1.5 gal saved back to continue dry hopping for a longer period of time.

WINNER! Brewer of the Year 2013!!!
2013-08-11 1:19am
Columbia Sportswear held it's annual Home Brew Competition on July 25th. This was my first beer brewed for a competition. I entered my TC 100min IIPA and took home top honors. IPA's swept the top 3 positions with my Imperial as the hoppiest by far. This beer had more hops that all other 9 entries combined! The gypsum used produced an unwanted cider like tang that I did not like, but on one else seemed to notice. The feedback I got was enthusiastic and much appreciated. This was the first time where those consuming my beer were not my friends. Seeing there honest reactions was very motivating and I can not wait for the next event.
