BREWING DAY-TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED
DRINKABILITY: Sampled on a few hours of carbonation and it taste fantastic!! Can really taste the freshness.

SESSION NOTES:
Changed from 15 pds of German Pilsner to 12 pds.
Accidentally tossed SAAZ & Hallertau at boil.
Tossed correct SAAZ & Hallertau at end of boil.
Too much water loss due to boil.
Should have had boiling water end of session to top off fermenator to 5.25 gallons.

STANDARD BREWING NOTES:
Create 8 gallons sparge water. Bring to 154° strike temperature
Prime pump. Push water through hose.
Add grain – Sparge at 152° for 90 minutes (Minimum 60)
(One gallon loss during sparge process)
Water burn rate: 1 gallon per hour.
Drain GRAIN from kettle. Adjust water height of ___ (7 gallons)
Boil clean water for end of boil session adjustment
Mash Option dark beers – Add x tablespoon Calcium Carbonate
60 minutes – Add tablespoon 5.2 pH balancer
60 minutes – Add 2 drops Fermcap
60 minutes – Add 5 tablespoon Gypsum for IPA (Optional)
15 minutes – Add immersion chiller
15 minutes - Add Whirlfloc
10 minutes – Add 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient last 10 minutes
♦Check to see if nozzle is pointed upwards

KEGGING NOTES:
Purge oxygen with CO2
Chill keg 24 hours before force carbonation.
Force Carbonation Calculator: 20 psi 4 days
Volumes of CO2 2.5 at 36°F = 10.2 psi American Ales

Procedure:
I would use a large grain bag (24"x24") as there is a lot of grain to mash.
Mash normally for 60 minutes then sparge normally. Collect 6 gallons to 6.25 Gallons of wort for boil. Boil for 90 minutes total. Bittering hops for 60 min., flavor and aroma hops separately during the last minute of the boil. Chill to 65ish F. Take OG. Crudely filter (whirlpool) from your boil into your primary after pitching your 2 packs of 1007 (Hops in the primary is good for this beer). Ferment for 2 weeks@ 65ish F. Take FG. Calculate dextrose amount based on yield in gallons, I used 3.5 oz. Filter beer through fine strainer or pantyhose (or both) from your primary into your bottling vessel. Bottle. Leave for another 2 weeks with minimum aggravation (you want the yeast to settle and become dense). Chill 24hrs prior to drinking. Pour into glass avoiding the yeast. Enjoy and share.

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: 10g of S04 yeast.
Lower than expected OG of 1.050. Same amount of yeast, so possible over-attenuation issue. Also, added sugar to to boil which may account for efficiency problem i.e off target OG.

Second brew:
New equipment and much bigger volume. Pre-boil gravity 1.047, very near target. OG at 61c (adjusted for temp) was 1.053, so a few points off. Not sure why though... Will test again prior to pitching when temp comes down. Trialling no-chill in the primary fermenter.

Chilled in the kettle outside to 68c then transferred to fermenters and left outside. Brought in overnight and by morning down to 18c! Yeast pitched. It is Autumn now, so that is why the overnight temps are cool enough.

Very vigorous fermentation with little headspace in the fermentor led to stout all over the place and replaced the sanitiser solution in the airlock. Successful test run for my fermentation chamber.

Gravity at 10 days 1.014. I think it is done, but will leave for another three days and test again. Gravity at 12 days 1.013. Cacao nibs and drops of Orange essence into the primary of one fermenter. The other will be left as a staright Oatmeal stout with a big chunk of chocolate malt.

This is a very decent stout. It's now been bottle conditioning for a couple of months. Will brew this again. Possibly cocoa powder into the boil next time for chocolate punch. Orange also barely noticeable, will need a much bigger dose next time.
