Notes: [Original notes translated into English from original recipe - see URL]
The amount of mash and rinse water you should use depends on the equipment and the method you are brewing with. As an estimate, we can say that you can use 16 l of mash water and 13.5 l of rinsing water for this beer. Some brewing machines (e.g. Speidel Braumeister) may require larger amounts of mash water. Always check the manual of the equipment you use.

In this beer, a more advanced mash scheme might be worth trying:
55 C (131F) for 15 min (protein step)
63 C (145F) for 45 min (beta-amylase step)
72 C (162F) for 15 min (alpha-amylase step)
77 C (170F) for 5 min (knead)

OR:
Mashing at 66 C (151F) for 75 min. Mash at 77 C (170F) for 5 minutes if you have the opportunity to increase the temperature in the mash.

Cool down to 9 C (48F) before pitching the yeast.

Fermentation at 10 degrees until 2/3 of FG is reached (typically after 10-14 days). Then increase gradually (approx. 1 degree per day) to 17 degrees. Keep at 18 degrees for 2-3 days. Then lower to 10 degrees or lower before bottling (20-28 days in total).

Yeast alternatives: WLP830, WLP838, Saflager 34/70

###########

Modified original recipe with details from another and changed mash to a step schedule with three decoction steps. The decoction steps are to be conducted sort of in parallel with the mash step before it.

Using long, insulated gloves (https://a.co/d/795ZKxH), I dipped a quart pyrex measuring glass into the mash tun and removed four scoops of drained mashed grain. You still want some liquid but it should be a thick mash. I roughly measured 3 gallons of milled grain in my grain bucket at dough-in so that is why 4 quarts to be decocted (1 gallon which is roughly 1/3 of grain)

I put this in a 5.5 quart pot sitting on an induction hot plate set up beside my mash tun. It would take about 10 minutes to get to boil. So generally, I would get mash tun to temperature for a step, wait about 5-10 min. and then scooped out grain to be boiled. Once boiled for 20 min. the mash step time would have expired and I would put the grain back. The extra heat of boiling would help raise to the next step although it usually took a little more heat. Once at the next step temperature, wait 5-10 minutes and repeat. Ultimately, this added 1-2 hours to my typical brew day time.

The triple decoction did raise SRM so I did not use the Carafa Special III that was in the original recipe. Brewer's Friend is calculating SRM from the grain bill but with decoction, I estimate it to be around 18 at the end of the boil.

Notes: ================================

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....

Notes: This beer is heavily inspired by pyradmid hefewiezen and has the same malt proportions and same bitterness level. I've re-used the same hops that I used in my American Rye Ale instead of Nuggets and Liberty as used by Pyramid. I've also started with a little bit lower gravity, but I also expect a bit higher attenuation than the 80% that Pyramid gets, so I expect the same alcohol level with a drier taste.

Notes: During the age of imperialism, England was in the midst of searching for new methods carrying their beer avoiding spoilage whilst in transit. Admiral Whitbeard, known for his love for ale, was dining with the Royal Family and speaking of a secret development in wonderful floral hop aromas through dry hopping. The intrigued Royal Family financed a voyage sending Admiral Whitbeard east though the Mediterranean in search of a hop that would enchant even the very nemesis of beer lovers. Along his way he was seduced by Calypso. like many of seafarer before, he fell into the nymphs trap, was swindled into acts of barratry, and destroyed the ship under her spell. The King of England came to know of this and funded for a search and rescue in coordination with the royal navy. While scavenging through the wreckage they discovered the new hop Calypso used to seduce Admiral Whitbeard. Alas, they had their newest creation; and Imperial Pale Ale love child brewed strong enough to handle the Admiral and Calypso hops with a balanced bitterness

Notes: Use Pannella sugar instead of 'Turbinado'
Activated yeast 48hrs prior and fed with wort from DME at room temp (26'C)
BIAB method:
Mash In: strike water 71'C, after grist added, temp dropped to 64'C. Raised temp with element, constantly stirring till 67'C. Turned off element and wrapped kettle. Infused for 60min. temp read 66'C at 60min.
Heated 12L sparge water to 76'C, used this 12L to raise temp of mash for mash out instead. hit 70'C so had to turn on element and stir till hit 76'C. Held for 10min.
Raised mash and sparged with 15L of wort.
Total wort volume 28.5L
Pre Boil Gravity 1.043
Fermenter wort volume 25L, OG 1.050
Fed 500ml of fresh cooled wort to yeast and left for 2hrs. Pitched total of 1.5L of fresh yeast to brew at 28'C then moved to fridge at 20'C
Covered with alfoil instead of airlocked lid to prevent pressure stop on fermentation.
At 10 days lots of fizz and hydrometer reading 1.009, very high attenuation. Tasted amazing Will bottle on day 14.
Got infected with fruit fly! Noticed fruit flies after about 3/4 bottling , kept bottles already sealed. After 3weeeks conditioning they were perfect. Best brew yet.

Notes: Witbier in Belgian style with addition of bitter orange peel and crushed coriander seeds. May add some Valencia orange zest as well to accentuate citrus flavor. Will crush coriander in Barley Crusher or using spice grinder. This batch will employ 1.5 liter yeast starter set up the night before brewing. Will use Hallertau exclusively for this, with 2.0 oz at start of boil for bitterness and 0.5 oz at 45 min. for a hint of flavor.

Color with Belgian Pale malt is a little darker than the style calls for, but yields a wonderful yellow/orange hue akin to Blue Moon. Really attractive appearance that will hopefully announce the citrus/orange flavor in this.
