- Tasting Notes
- This is a fantasticly close clone to Anderson Valley Summer Solstice
ABV: 5.6%
Summer Solstice Recipe:
Assuming 75% efficiency:
9 lbs 2-row
13 oz Crystal 40*
11 oz Crystal 80*
0.5 oz Northern Brewer Hops @ 15 minutes
WYeast 2112 (Make a nice big starter 2L+)
0.25-0.75oz of Vanilla extract added at Bottling/Kegging. 0.25oz is a great start, add to taste.
Mash at 150* for 60 minutes, Boil for 60 minutes, add hops with 15 minutes left.
Chill your wort down under 70*, and pitch your starter.
Winter Solstice is the same receipe as Summer, but make the following changes:
13 lbs 2-row
1 lbs Crystal 40
14oz Crystal 80
1oz Northern Brewer at 15min
Mash at 152*, SG: 1.070, FG: 1.018
This beer turns out identical to Summer/Winter solstice. It's smooth, crisp, and has that lovely hint of vanilla. If you have the ability to lager, this beer would be even better if lagered for a month.
**This recipe has been slightly tweaked over the last year or so. Two differences are less vanilla now, and the use of Northern Brewer hops rather than Cascade.***
