Due Date Brew Day!

Today's Mathilde's due date. But I'm still waiting for her, so I brewed up some experimental half batches.

Gose #79 (3 gallons)

2.50# wheat malt
1.00# pils
0.75# sauer malt
0.25# flaked oats

0.25 oz spalt from the Mosquito Hopyard - FWH
0.25 oz saaz - 45 min (was only a 45 min boil)

1/8 tsp Salt - 5 min
0.25 oz Coriander Seed - 5 min

White Labs Hefe IV

OG = 1038
IBUs = 20
FG = 1009
ABV = 3.8%

NOTES:
Mathilde was born on Friday night, and I totally spaced Thursday night, so I didn't pitch this until Saturday around 6 pm! Should be ok. Smells great on 5/5.
5/13: Tastes real good. The salt is really in the background. No way you'd guess it.
------------------

Berliner Weisse #80 (3 gallons)

2.06# pils
1.50# wheat malt

0.75 oz saaz - MH

15 min boil

Wyeast 1338 European Ale
Lactobacillus Delbrueckii (Wyeast Labs #4335) (Added to Secondary)


OG = 1032
IBUs = 7
FG =
ABV =

NOTES:
Not gonna do the lacto pitch. Only just threw in the ale yeast on 5/5. Wort smelled a little tangy, hoping it's ok. If not, oh well.

Rauchbier #81

4.00# rauchmalz
1.00# c40l
1 oz roasted barley

0.50 oz hallertauer - FWH

Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager
Will ferment at my serving temp. ~57F

OG = 1051
IBUs = 15
FG = 1012
ABV = 5.1%

NOTES:
Put this into a carboy on 5/1 and then into the chegerator. Cooled to about 55F and then pitched yeast on 5/3. Seems like it's chugging away just fine.
5/13: Smoky, but thin. Wondering if that will clear up with some carb.
