Notes: ================================
12/22/2021
follow up notes. adding volume to the batch size to account for the 2ndary addition of lactose and nutmeg mixture of approx 0.75 gallon, bringing abv down to about 8.1%. It still doesnt taste like an 8% beer but 8 is probably more accurate than 9.

if and when you rebrew you will prob need to adjust the pre and post boil numbers.
================================
12/19/2021
final notes - beer turned out great! i think still could use more nutmeg, the color was pretty good - mostly yellow to golden. the body was nice, on the thin side for a hefty beer but that was sort of the intent and it worked well. vanilla came through nice. pretty sweet but not too sweet imo.

still didnt take another FG of the final beer or adjust OG calculations for the added lactose volume. calculator says over 9 that is definitely wrong. it really does not taste or feel like it could be 8% so if I had to guess I would say its probably 7% or 7.5% at most.

================================
12/3/2021
not sure whats going on with FG. Got a reading at 1.010 dont understand how that is possible with the lactose.

Tasted not very sweet or nutmeggy so I added another 1/2lb lactose and 1.5tsp nutmeg to some water into the keg before transfer. that will dilute the beer a little from these numbers.

beer tastes really thin bodied. Not sure if I like the thin body since that was what I was aiming for? or if it needs to be beefed up with more malt, and maybe reduce the sugar.

Light light color almost too light. It does look like a cream ale, I was picturing more of a yellow, but this is like transluscent bud light / cream ale yellow.

Beer has nutmeg sediment floating around. Next time consider fresh crushed nutmeg in bigger chunks that way you can filter it out.

The beer tastes pretty good though overall. It could probably be sweeter, again with maybe more base malt and less sugar.

================================
11/19/2021
Brew day boosting warrior to boost ibu from 30 to 46ish .bu to gu seems really low especially with lactose
================================
11/17/2021
brew day update. got RO water and added some salts to the recipe for light colored and malty profile. i think it wouldve been fine with tap but i was worried about the beer coming out orange which has been happening with some of my ipas using tap only...

the ph is a little low because i already have acid malt in the grist. i think its mixed in so too late to remove it.
=================================
11/7/2021
since egg nog many times is mixed with bourbon, bourbon oak aged version of this wouldnt be off the table....

maybe taste/can half or 2/3 of the batch from the keg then add the oak to the rest...?

--nutmeg discussion--
note that freshly ground nutmeg is not the same by weight/flavor as preground. grating 2 1/2 nutmeg seems like a PITA but im worried about messing up the conversion to preground so i may just do it that way?

"There is no exact standard of conversion between fresh and preground, but to give you an idea, you might only need 1/4 tsp of freshly ground nutmeg where you might need a whole teaspoon of preground – and you’ll probably get more flavor from that 1/4-tsp." from https://bakingbites.com/2009/08/whole-vs-freshly-ground-nutmeg/

that makes me think that 2 1/2 fresh ground nutmeg is really a ton...?

confusingly, my pumpkin ale uses 6 grams pumpkin pie spice. northern brewer winter spiced ale uses 0.5oz mulling spice which is 141g but i think those are whole spices. another winter warmer recipe im seeing is 1 1/4 teaspoon total spices including 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg.

calculator showing 0.25oz nutmeg (which is how much is used in many pumpkin ales is about 7.1 g) that is close to what i use for pumpkin but it might be too powerful for just nutmeg so lets go with something a little lower like 3 or 4g.

it should be easy enough to measure it in grams but in case you want to just use teaspoons : 1tsp nutmeg is 2.37g so 4/2.37 = 1.68 tsp i.e. 1 3/4 teaspoon

=================================
10/28/2021
adding a bit of cane sugar to cut down on base malt just thinking that we want to keep it light colored..? can go against the body thickness of the beer but we are using the flaked barley and oats and we could mash higher for a higher FG? At the same time there is the lactose so we dont want it to come out too too sweet.

noticing high pH so adding some acid malt.

=================================
update 12/31/2019 : combining egg nog stout and blonde stout recipes to create this new blonde egg nog ale which i think would aesthetically be more accurate, and less similar to GBS.

for this im going for like a light colored sweet lactose ale, like imperial cream ale crossed with barley/wheatwine, but adding thick body adjuncts as well like a NEIPA. consider adding wheat.

original stout recipe here : https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/578314
=================================
update 11/26/2018 : there is an egg nog milk stout recipe in brooklyn brew shop's beer making book. it calls for 2 1/2 whole nutmegs (grated), 1 lb lactose, and 3 (!) vanilla beans.
=================================
update 11/25/2018 : not sure the original thoughts here but
i think we would need to add vanilla bean, nutmeg and possibly cinnamon. would this be significantly different than GBS? obviously no ginger, but seems similar. adding british ale yeast just thinking maybe i could then piggy back the yeast and make a barleywine, but might be too roastey to reuse....

If you can do a step-up mash, which is a good idea. First step is at 132F/55C for 15 minutes. Second step is going to be 153F/67C for 30 minutes.Then mash out at 168F/75C for 10 minutes.
Fermentis Safale 06 is the dry yeast choice.

(5 gallons, all-grain)

Snow Goose from the Wild Goose Brewing Co. on Maryland’s Eastern Shore is one of my all-time favorites. This annual winter treat always finds me stashing away plenty for summer. However, no more stashing is required as evidenced below! If I owned a brewpub, this would be my house beer.

Steve Lineweaver
Delmar, Md.

Ingredients:
10 lbs. pale ale malt
1 lb. crystal malt, 60° Lovibond
0.25 lb. chocolate malt
0.25 lb. roasted barley
1 lb. malted wheat
1.5 oz. Cascade hops (6% alpha acid), 1 oz. for 60 min., 0.5 oz. for dryhopping
1 oz. Fuggle hops (6% alpha acid), 0.5 oz. for 45 min., 0.5 oz. for 30 min.
1 oz. Goldings hops (5% alpha acid), to steep
Wyeast 1318 (London Ale III)
Step by Step
Add grains to 4 gal. of water at 168° F for mash temperature of 154° F. Sparge and collect 6 gal. wort. Boil 15 min., then add 1 oz. Cascade. Boil 15 min. more, then add 0.5 oz. Fuggles. Boil 15 min. more, then add another 0.5 oz. Fuggles. Boil for 30 min. more for a total boil of 75 min. Turn off heat and steep 1 oz. Goldings hops for 10-20 min. Chill, aerate, and pitch yeast.

Ferment in primary at 64°-74° F for four to eight days and rack to secondary for seven to 10 days. Bottle or keg as usual.

Notes: Toasted the barley for 20 mins to give a cookie flavor.

Finishing gravity was at 1.021 after coming back from my Xmas vacation. 2 weeks fermentation in total.

Primed 2.7 gallons with 1.6 oz dextrose. Leave for two to three weeks to carbonate.

Totally fantastic stout. Better than I could have expected. The cookie flavour runs through the beer and it has a smooth silky texture. It's probably the best beer I've made.

Notes: (This is the recipe that Vinnie himself gave in an interview found in zymurgy)

Directions
Mash grains at 151-152° F (66-67° C) for an hour or until starch conversion is complete.
Mash out at 170° F (77° C) and sparge. Collect 8 gallons (30 L) of runoff, stir in dextrose,
and bring to a boil. Add hops as indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort
to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter
and aerate well. Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack
to secondary. Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then
add the second set. Age five more days then bottle or keg the beer.

Extract Substitution
Substitute 6.5 lb (3.0 kg) of light dry malt extract for two-row malt. Due to the large
hop bill for this recipe, a full wort boil is recommended. Steep grains in 1 gallon (3.8 L)
of water at 165° F (74° C) for 30 minutes, then remove and rinse grains with hot water.
Stir in dextrose and top up kettle to 8 gallons (30 L), and bring to a boil. Add hops as
indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to
fermenter. Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well. Ferment at 67°
F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary. Add first set of dry
hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days then add the second set. Age five more
days then bottle or keg the beer
