Notes: Add 4 oz/gal of moderately strong fresh-brewed coffee to the fermenter.

This actually uses Muntons EXTRA DARK DME which has 2-Row, caramel, roasted barley and choc malt.

Coffee was 2 "scoops" of dark roast and 4 "cups" of water. Then I measured 12 oz and threw that in at the boil's end.

Notes: 2020 Wort Share Beer 14 Plato, 99% 2 row, 1% acidulated malt
2/1/2020
Brew time finished after pitching at 8 pm.
80F at 1.072 = 1.074 g/ml
Did not use mash tun, on stove top.
Accessory grains: 5.8 gallons
9 hours later bubbling.

Air-lock stopped day 4. Opened took gravity on the 6th found it to be 1.014 g/ml. Took sample and tasted, definitely ginger very sweet still. Added 2 tablespoons of yeast energizer. Placed in slightly warmer place.
Bubbles started again 20 minutes later probably from the agitation

2/13/2020
Checked gravity, clarity and color, and a taste test.
SG 1.012, cloudy straw, Cream-ale ish plus egg from gasses from fermentation over all ginger.
Transferred into secondary.

2/15/2020
Took gravity no change 1.012 g/ml
Ginger flavor slightly more warm and with a slight ginger ale burn.
Added 2.75 oz of shaved ginger in a sanitized grain bag and canning jar for weight to keep the ginger in full contact with the beer.

2/21/20
Checked Gravity found it had dropped to 1.010 and cleared substantially. Slightly disappointed with the ginger taste and mouth feel. No where near the ginger that I had expected considering adding more ginger later today. ABV now hovering 8.8%. I am expecting no color change, but maybe another point lower in a week or two.

3/1/2020
Checked gravity found it has stayed at 1.010 and has stayed clear. The ginger taste is mild but good rounded flavor. Calculated abv 8.84% Bottling and subsequent carbonation fermentation will more than likely yield a FG at time of pour of 1.008 g/ml or 9%. I will leave beer in secondary until bottling later this week.

3/8/202
Bottled w 5.4 oz Light Malt Extract
Taste more ginger than I expected, decent finish, not sweet, light mouth feel. Did something new to estimate increase in abv in the bottle after bottle conditioning. I took pre sugar and post sugar readings.

Pre Sugar = 1.010
Post Sugar = 1.102

This would equal 0.26 % ABV increase if all the sugar that is convertible converts to alcohol 9.08% in the bottle.

Bottled:
11.5 1
12 oz 55
22oz 1

This is based on the recipe released by Brooklyn brewery on their blog:
http://brooklynbrewery.com/blog/ask-a-brewer/ask-a-brewer-mar-6/

Grain weights have been scaled down to give an ABV after bottling (including priming) of 5.2%, which is the ABV of bottled Brooklyn lager. Hops have been scaled to give 30 IBUs.

Notes: Steeped grains for 20 minutes before boil.

Made a yeast starter.

Primary temp fluctuated between 17C and 21C. Maybe down to 16C - winter temps. Fermentation not visible until 48 hours.

Primary for 12 days, not sealed. Opened maybe 6 times total to check fermentation.

Transferred to secondary with racking cane. First time unsuccessful, so I had to refill siphon with sanitizer and do it again.

Bung was still wet when attempted to put on. Pressed it too hard and it entered carboy. Temporarily covered with unsanitized aluminum foil for 24 hours.

Boiled 300ml of water and added 1/2 cup corn sugar (dextrose). Worried about 1 gallon of headspace in secondary. Added dextrose and installed bung and airlock. Filled airlock with vodka.

Bottled on 02/19/2014.

Update: 07/22/2014. Forgot to take tasting notes :(. But I remember it being really good despite my conceived screw-ups.
