As promised, here are a bunch of recipies from the archives. Some of these will be considered for our flagship brews when I get things rolling on a bigger scale. Some are 5 gallon, some are for 10 gallons so you can scale accordingly. I've also included the Alpha acid %'s for the hops I used, so in case your varies, you can also adjust for that. I use Beer Smith, but any beer repice program should work if you plug the ingredients in.
I have a single tier system with a March pump (as I have a basement with very low headspace. I use a 1/2 keg (7.5) gal for the Hot Liquor tank (I have a full keg to replace it, but I'm not finished the sanitary welds, yet) and a full keg for the boil kettle. I also have 2 rubbermaid coolers I use as mash tuns. A 12 gallon for 5 gallon batches and a 30 gallon for everything else. I also have a plate chiller for cooling (a stainless oil cooler that I purchased from DudaDiesel.com) a biodiesel website. It was half the price for the same damn thing you can get from a homebrew site.
The stand I made is 1-1/2" Cold Rolled tube (1/8" wall thickness) Welded (and I use the term loosely) by me in my cousin's garage.

Lactobacillus Fermentation
Mash as usual, but do not sparge. Once mash temp is between 90 - 100 deg. F., add about 1 pound of unmashed grain to mash tun and stir. Close lid to keep
heat in. Keep an eye out for lactic acid fermentation. A white skin will form on top of mash and it will begin to smell horrible (this is good!) Mash will have a distinct sour smell to it. TASE MASH EVERY FEW HOURS TIL DESIRED SOURNESS IS ACHIEVED! Do not let mash get to where "cotton balls" or "fuzz" forms on top. Reheat mash to sparge temp (170 deg F.) and Sparge as normal. Boil for 10 or 15 minutes only. Pitch yeast as normal after fermentation temps are reached. Use a neutral (low ester production) Wheat yeast.
This is a traditional Berliner Weisse.
MAKING THIS BEER IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART !
The mash stinks, looks disgusting and yes, you have to taste it along the way until it's as sour as you want it, but if you've ever had one before, you know the end result is completely worth it!

A traditional Bock, with big teeth and a HUGE 35 pound grain bill
Our best offering for the big beer styles we create.
Traditional decoction mash to extract the full malt flavor and allow the gigantic malt profile to shine on center stage.
German Noble hops used sparingly as to not mask the sweet maltiness.

Notes:

Our best and favorite summer beer to brew. Decided to use an infusion mash instead of a traditional decoction because it was as hot as hell when we first created this brew.
Best conditioned in bottles, and don't forget to roll the bottle first to get that last bit of yeast into the glass!
Lightly hopped, as to not mask the wonderful esters and yeast flavors.
Reccomend drinking by the liter für Gesundheit.
Ein Prosit!!!
