Notes: ***GRAIN BILL IS A GUESS***
https://brooklynbrewshop.com/pages/instructions-unicorn-ipa
Pre-Brew: Sanitize
Sanitization is important, but it's nothing scary. When brewing, keep everything clean so that you give what you're brewing its best chance to succeed. So when preparing for brew day, wipe any crumbs off the counters. Move any clutter that might be in your way. Read through the rest of the instructions (at least through fermentation) so that you know what to expect. And have fun!
Dissolve half of your sanitizer packet with a gallon of water in a container. Save the second half for when you bottle.
Soak everything you are going to use, rinse with water, and let air dry on some paper towels. If it isn’t totally dry when you are ready to start don’t worry.
Keep the extra sanitizer in a container for now. Chances are you’ll want to re-sanitize something later.
Additional Ingredients Needed:
3 Tablespoons Honey
Ice
1/3 cup of shredded beets
1: The Mash
During The Mash, you're extracting all the sugars, color and flavor you can from grain. You're basically just steeping grain in hot water. It's a lot like making oatmeal.
Heat 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of water to 160°F (71°C).
Add grain (This is called “mashing in.” Take note of jargon. Or don’t).
Mix gently with spoon or spatula until mash has consistency of oatmeal. Add water if too dry or hot. Temperature will drop to ~150°F (66°C).
Cook for 60 minutes at 144-152°F (63-68°C). Stir every 10 minutes, and use your thermometer to take temperature readings from multiple locations.
You likely don’t need to apply heat constantly. Get it up to temperature, then turn the heat off. Monitor, stir, and adjust accordingly to keep in range.
After 60 minutes, heat to 170°F (77°C) while stirring constantly (“Mashing Out”).
2: The Sparge
If you're familiar with brewing coffee, you should have an idea of how The Sparge works. During The Sparge, you put the grain in a strainer and pour hot water over it to draw out all those sugars you created during The Mash.
Heat additional 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of water to 170°F (77°C). (If possible, start this during The Mash to save time.)
Set up your “lauter tun” (a strainer over a pot).
Carefully add the hot grain mash to the strainer, collecting the liquid that passes through.
This liquid is called “wort” (pronounced “wert”). It will be your beer.
Slowly and evenly pour 170°F (77°C) water over the mash to extract the grain’s sugars.
You want to collect 5 quarts (4.75 liters) of wort. You will lose about 20% to evaporation later on, so you want to start with a bit more than you’ll end with.
Re-circulate wort through grain once.
3: The Boil
The Boil is probably the easiest step to understand because it's as simple as it sounds. During this step, you're bringing your wort to a low, rolling boil and keeping it there for a period of time while adding things like hops or spices. It's a lot like cooking a soup or stock in that you'll add heartier or bittering ingredients toward the beginning and more delicate and aromatic ingredients toward the end.
In a pot, heat wort until it boils. Add 1/4 Amarillo Hops and 1/4 Mosaic Hops when you start to heat the wort.
Keep boiling until you’ve hit the “hot break” (Wort will foam - you may need to reduce heat slightly so it doesn’t boil over.)
Stir occasionally. All you want is a light boil – too hot and you lose fermentable sugars and volume.
The boil will last 60 minutes. Start your timer and add in the rest of the ingredients at these times:
At 55 minutes, add 1/3 cups shredded beet to the boil.
At 60 minutes, turn off heat. Add 1/4 Amarillo Hops and 1/4 Mosaic Hops.
Reserve the remaining hops.
Twenty percent of the wort will have evaporated in this step leaving you with 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of wort. If your boil was a bit high, the surface area of your pot extra large, or you brewed on a really hot day, you may have less than the full amount. Don’t worry – you just reduced your beer a bit too much, but you can add more water in the next step.
4: Fermentation
This is when your beer actually becomes alcoholic. During Fermentation, your jugs should sit somewhere out of the way (and out of direct sunlight) while ale yeast turns sugar into alcohol.
Place brew pot in an ice bath until it cools to 70°F (21°C).
Once cooled, place strainer over funnel and pour your beer into the glass fermenter. Yeast needs oxygen. The strainer helps aerate your wort and clarify your beer (as well as catch any sediment from going into the fermenter). Add tap water to bring wort up to 1 Gallon mark if level is low.
“Pitch” yeast. (Toss the whole packet in.)
Shake aggressively. You’re basically waking up the yeast and getting more air into the wort.
Attach sanitized screw-top stopper to bottle. Slide rubber tubing no more than 1” (2.5 cm) into the stopper and place the other end in small bowl of sanitizer solution. You’ve just made a “blow-off tube”. It allows CO2 to escape.
Let sit for two or three days or until vigorous bubbling subsides. This is when fermentation is highest. You may notice bubbles and foam at the top of the beer. After bubbling calms down, clean tubing and ready your airlock.
Open your fermenter and drop 1/2 remaining Amarillo Hops and 1/2 remaining Mosaic Hops into your beer. This is called dry hopping and will give your beer intense hop flavor.
Sanitize, then re-assemble airlock, filling up to line with sanitizer.
Insert airlock into hole in stopper.
1 week later drop remaining hops to your fermenter as a second dry hop
Keep in a dark place at room temperature for two weeks after you added the yeast without disturbing other than to show off to friends. (If beer is still bubbling, leave sitting until it stops.)
In the meantime, drink beer with self-closing swing tops, or ask for empties at a bar that has some. If you have a bottle capper and caps, you can save two six packs of non-twistoff beers instead.
5: Bottling (2 Weeks Later)
Once your beer's in bottles, it carbonates naturally with the help of just a little extra sugar. It wakes up your ale yeast (that went dormant during fermentation) to create just enough bubbles for some nice fizz.
Thoroughly rinse bottles with water, removing any sediment.
Mix remaining sanitizer with water.
Fill each bottle with a little sanitizer and shake. Empty after two minutes, rinse with cold water and dry upside down.
Dissolve 3 tablespoons honey with 1/2 cup water. Pour into a sanitized pot. You will be siphoning your beer into the same pot in the next steps.
Carbonation comes from adding sugar when bottling, so if you filled your jug with less than the full gallon in the last step, use less honey when bottling. Using the full amount can result in your beer being over-carbonated.
Siphoning (It all happens pretty fast. You may want to practice on a pot of water a few times.) To see it in action first, watch the How to Bottle video at brooklynbrewshop.com/instructions.
A. Attach open tubing clamp to tubing.
B. Fill tubing with sanitizer.
C. Attach sanitized tubing to the short curved end of your sanitized racking cane. Attach the black tip to the other end - it will help prevent sediment from getting sucked up. It will probably be a snug fit, but you can get it on there.
D. Pinch tubing clamp closed.
E. Remove screw-cap stopper and place racking cane into jug, just above the sediment at the bottom (“trub”).
F. Lower end of tubing not connected to racking cane into sink. Suction will force beer up and through the racking cane and tubing. Open tubing clamp, let sanitizer flow into sink until beer just starts to flow out of the tubing, then clamp shut. Open clamp on tubing, allowing beer to flow into pot with sugar solution. Tilt jug when beer level is getting low, but be careful in not sucking up the trub.
Siphon beer from pot into bottles, pinching tube clamp to stop ow after each bottle.
Close bottles.
Store in a dark place for 2 weeks.
6: Enjoy (Two Weeks Later)
You did it! You made beer.
Put beers in the fridge the night before you drink them.
Pour your beer in a glass and add sprinkles on top of the fluffy head for a fun Unicorn look and flavor.
Drink. Share with friends if you’re the sharing type. |

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....

Notes: Uma das pricipais diferenças é o uso de trigo não malteado, aveia e sobretudo temperos como coentro, cascas de laranja e até mesmo camomila.
Esses ingredientes produzem uma cerveja de cor amarelo pálido, com uma turbidez permanente7 (que faz com que fique “branca”), boa retenção de espuma e um caráter delicadamente condimentado. É leve, refrescante e muito carbonatada, apresentando um final seco e moderadamente ácido. Seu teor alcoólico é baixo e os lúpulos são usados com discrição, sendo portanto uma cerveja para ser tomada jovem.

==== Descrição do estilo =====
16A. Witbier Aroma: Dulçor moderado (frequentemente com leves notas de mel e/ou baunilha) com suaves aromáticos de grãos e especiarias do trigo, frequentemente com um pouco de acidez. Moderado perfume de coentro, muitas vezes com notas complexas de ervas, especiarias ou apimentadas em segundo plano. Moderado aroma frutado cítrico de laranja. Suave aroma de especiarias e ervas proveniente dos lúpulos é opcional, mas nunca deve dominar as outras características. Sem diacetil. Aromas vegetais similares a aipo, tempero verde ou presunto são inapropriados. Especiarias devem se misturar aos aromas frutados, florais e doces, não devendo ser excessivamente fortes. Aparência: Coloração de palha muito pálido a dourado claro. Intensa turbidez oriunda das moléculas de amido e/ou das leveduras, que conferem aparência leitosa e amarela-esbranquiçada. Colarinho denso e branco como mousse, com muito boa persistência. Sabor: Dulçor agradável (frequentemente lembrando mel e/ou baunilha) com frutado cítrico de laranja. Refrescância com final bem definido (crisp) com uma finalização seca, frequentemente com acidez agradável (tart). Pode ter um leve sabor de trigo. Opcionalmente pode ter acidez láctica bem leve. Sabores herbáceos e condimentados, que podem incluir coentro e outras especiarias, são comuns, mas devem ser sutis e equilibrados, sem predominar. Umsabor terroso/condimentado proveniente do lúpulo deve ser de baixo a nenhum e, se notado, não deve se sobrepor ao das especiarias. O amargor de lúpulo é de baixo a médio-baixo (como em uma Hefeweizen), não interfere com os sabores refrescantes de fruta e especiarias, tampouco deve persistir no final. Amargor da parte branca da casca de laranja não deve estar presente. Sabores vegetais, similares a aipo, tempero verde, presunto ou sabão são inapropriados. Sem diacetil. Sensação na Boca: Corpo de médio-leve a médio, frequentemente com suavidade e leve cremosidade do trigo não maltado e por vezes aveia. Apesar do corpo e da cremosidade, termina seca e muitas vezes um pouco ácida. A intensa carbonatação confere sensação de efervescência. Final refrescante, devido à carbonatação, com baixa acidez e ausência de amargor. Sem aspereza ou adstringência proveniente da parte branca da casca de laranja. Não deve ser excessivamente seca e rala, nem densa e pesada. Impressão Geral: Uma ale a base de trigo, moderadamente forte, refrescante, elegante e saborosa. História: Estilo de cerveja com 400 anos de idade e que morreu nos anos 50. Foi, mais tarde, ressuscitada por Pierre Celis em Hoegaarden e cresceu firmemente em popularidade com o tempo. Comentários: A presença, característica e o grau de especiarias e acidez lática variam. Cervejas excessivamente condimentadas e/ou ácidas não são bons exemplos para o estilo. Certas variedades de coentro podem ter caráter inapropriado de presunto ou aipo. A cerveja tende a ser frágil e não envelhece bem, portanto exemplares mais novos, frescos e devidamente tratados são mais desejáveis. A maioria dos exemplos parece ter aproximadamente 5% ABV. Ingredientes: Aproximadamente 50% de trigo não maltado (tradicionalmente o trigo de inverno branco e macio) e 50% de malte de cevada claro (normalmente malte Pilsen) constituem a composição de grãos. Em algumas versões pode ser utilizado de 5-10% de aveia crua. Especiarias como coentro moído na hora, laranja Curaçao ou, às vezes, casca de laranja doce complementam o aroma doce e são bem características. Outras especiarias (p. ex., camomila, cominho, canela, cardamomo) podem ser usadas para adicionar complexidade, mas são muito menos proeminentes. Levedura ale que produz suave sabor condimentado é bem característica. Em alguns casos é feita fermentação láctica bem limitada ou adição direta de ácido lático.
