Notes: Mash will be split into two 10 G mash tuns.

Brew365 Calculation below:
Batch Size: 2.75 g
Grain Bill: 20 lbs
Boil Time: 3 hours
Trub Loss: 0.25 g
Equipment Loss: 0.25 g
Mash Thickness: 1.50 qts/lb
Target Mash Temp: 156

Percent Boiloff: 11.5 %

Total Mash Water: 7.50 g
Sparge Water: 0 g

Pre-Boil Volume: 4.75 g
Combined into Pre-Boil total Volume: 9.5 g

4 days prior to brew I started two 1.5 L starters from 2 packs of WLP090 yeast. Let ferment and stored in fridge until brew day. On the morning of brew I decanted starters and pitched into new 1 L starter so it would be active before pitching.
Had to substitute Golden Promise for Marris Otter. Grain bill was split into two even grain bills. Milled 2 days before brew and stored at homebrew store at 72 degrees,

9/14/19: brewed with Matt and John at homebrew store.

Roughly 11:30 AM start time. Started with 7.5 gallons of RO water, treated with 4.9g of baking soda, and 7g of calcium chloride. Pre-heated mash tun with 178 degree mash water. Doughed in with 20 lbs of grain, achieved 155 degree mash temp, let rest 90 minutes and stirred every 15 minutes for first hour.

Repeated with second mash, achieved 160 degree mash temp, cooled with 2-3 qts of extra water to 156 degrees, then let rest for 90 minutes.

Vorlaufed both for 10-15 minutes each. Collected first runnings only into 15G kettle, boil volume 10G, pre-boil gravity between 1.082 - 1.084. Boiled for just over 3 hours on propane burner. Forgot to add yeast nutrient during boil. Cooled with copper immersion chiller to 90 deg.

Final volume was 5 - 5.15G into 6G glass carboy. Original gravity of 1.145-1.147 (reading was off the refractometer scale).

Placed fermentor into ferm chamber set to 66 deg. Temp stabilized ~1.5 hours later. Pitched 1 L new and very active starter, vigorously shook for 2-3 minutes to aerate.

@12 hours post pitch - very active ferm, 1-2" krausen
@24 hours post pitch - nearly high krausen 2-3"
@36 hours post pitch - high krausen, very active, almost into blow off tube

Partigyle Brew:
Decided on an english mild/brown ale

Target OG: 1.050
Actual OG: 1.045
Target IBU: 30
Target Volume: 5.5G
Boil: 60 minutes

Ran 3.5G untreated Louisville tap water through each mash tun. Let rest for 30 minutes while we handled the main brew. Vorlaufed briefly, then collected 6.5G second runnings into 10G boil kettle. "Boiled" on induction burner that maintained a weak simmer.

Added 1oz EKG/Fuggles at 50 for ~25 ibus
Added 1oz EKG/Fuggles at 5 minutes for ~5 ibus

Cooled with copper immersion chiller to 90 degrees. Then placed in ferm chamber set to 66 degrees alongside RIS. Temp stabilized ~1.5 hours later. Pitched 1 pack of S-04 then lightly shook for 30 seconds to aerate.

@12 hours minimal ferm
@24 hours thin krausen
@36 hours active ferm, 1" krausen

10/10: Bottled half of the brown plain with dextrose. Targeting 2.3 vol co2. Remaining 2.75G was racked into 3G better bottle with 2 split, scraped, and chopped wet Madgascar Vanilla beans (that had been soaking in ~1-2 oz of Heaven Hill vodka for 2-3 days).

10/23: Dry beaned 30g (~11g/G) of Sunergos Tanzanian Peaberry coffee (roast date: 10/10). Beans were placed into sanitized grain bag, filled with coffee/stainless steel nuts, and suspended in beer for ~24 hours.

10/24: Packaged vanilla/coffee portion, targeting 2.1 vol co2, primed with dextrose. Flavor and aroma was pretty incredible, vanilla added body/sweetness and the fresh roast smell of coffee was very pleasant.

Notes for Next time:
-don't forget to add yeast nutrient
-we collected more pre-boil volume and still had wort left in the mash tun, consider lowering initial mash volume by 0.25G each
-partyigyle beer was much weaker than it could have been. Sparge with less volume, and collect any remaining wort from tuns before sparging

Add 15g magnum before sparging.

Sparge with 16L remineralised RO water, or to 30L pre boil volume

Use counter-flow chiller to drop the wort to 80C then add whirlpool additions and whirlpool for 30min and transfer to keg, aiming for 40C pitching temp.

Use Sigmund Gjernes Voss Farmhouse blend yeast, ferment at 40C for 2 days then at 22C 4 days.

Dry hop after 24 and 48 hours, keg after 6 days fermentation.

Allow hot break of foam before adding lactose as boil approaches 100 degC

Did not see typical formation of zebra effect during flame out and cool down to 90 degC. Lactose addition may have caused this.

BM350VMS Specific notes
Use of Rice Hulls improved bed drainage. Was able to achieve +80% efficiency on this last brew.
Hit kettle volume on the nose at 13.5 gallons with fly sparge.

The 1.3 starting mash thickness factor was good allowing ~1" of liquid above grain bed at center of MT.

Cocoa nibs were soaked in JP Wisers Hopped Rye Whiskey from 12/20/2018 to Brew Date +1 Day. Nibs added at High Krausen or approximately 29 hours from pitch.

Notes: This is my first beer after finalizing the Craft Brewing Certificate program at Cornell University. It's a simple recipe that follows the exact guideline for an Amercian Amber Ale as published by the Brewer's Association. The beer is all grain, and the mash is a single infusion, isothermal mash. Only one New World hops (Centennial although Cascades or other US hops could substitute) is used. The only caveat I have is make sure you know your water chemistry and adjust accordingly.

This would be a great recipe for someone who is starting all grain brewing.

Notes: Nicely done!
I would add a higher IBU next time. An IBU of 30 or a littler higher?
I was thinking an OG of 1.088 was not going to ferment...But is did!

It ended at a 1.022 which was perfect. any more lower and it would been too would have too much emaphasis on the AC. It proves to have a kick but a great nose too. The silkyness came through due to the oats<----that was the greatest part! the blackness under a brown blanket of foam ... it was just perfect!
