Notes: CALL IT AN AMERICAN LAGER OR A PRE PROHIBITION BEER... OR A MALT LIQUOR... ITS ALL THE SAME TO ME... JUST DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF GREAT AMERICAN BEER...A VERY GOOD MALT LIQUOR...MALT AND CORN NOTES...I USE CORN MEAL OR GRITS AND I GRIND LONG GRAIN RICE..THEN DO A CEREAL MASH AND ADD THAT TO MAIN MASH AFTER I COOK CEREAL FOR ABOUT 25 MINS.. .VERY CLOSE TO MICKEYS BUT HAS MORE FLAVOR.. I FERMENT IN PRIMARY ONLY... 62 f.. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO A 3 DAY REST AT 70 F AFTER FERMENTATION IS COMPLETE...THEN COLD CRASH FERMENTER FOR 3 TO 5 DAYS THEN BOTTLE...ROOM TEMP NO HIGHER THAN 72 F FOR 2 TO 3 WEEKS AFTER BOTTLING..THEN LAGER BOTTLES IN THE FRIDGE FOR A WEEK BEFORE DRINKING.. IF YOU KEEP FERMENTATION TEMP RIGHT YOU WILL HAVE AN EXCELLENT BEER IN THIS STYLE...

Notes: This beer is my first try at a Gose style ale. I will let you know the results. My plan is to sour mash the wort overnight with the acidulated malt sprinkled on top and sealed with plastic wrap and a blanket. then boil it the usual manner adding salt and coriander to the last 15 minutes with the Irish Moss. I am planning to use the Kolsh yeast because it is winter now and my brew area stays a natural 60. I hope also that the Kolsh yeast brings a bit of fruitiness out to counter the sour and the saltiness.

Notes: Formulations for scotch ales very, but they all start with a pale malt or pale extract base, generally making up about 70-80% of the grain bill. Crystal malt is used in both commercial and homebrewed recipes making up from 5-10% of the grain bill. Black or roast malt provide color and character in the 2% range, though most purists prefer roast malt over black malt.

Interestingly almost all commercial examples use either wheat malt or sugar in the 5-10% range, though sugar is rarely added to homebrewed versions. Other commonly added homebrew grains in small amounts include chocolate malt, cara pils for body, munich and amber malts though these are not commonly added to commercial browns. [Ref: Daniels]

There is no specific hops tied to the scotch style, though low alpha traditional English or Continental hops are considered most appropriate. Goldings, Williamette and Fuggles are often used commercially, though noble hops such as Hallertauer or Saaz can also be used. Bitterness and hop flavor should be kept to a minimum, so use just enough hops to balance the malt.

The selection of scotch yeast is not as important as the fermentation method. Scotch ales are fermented at much lower temperatures (50-60F) than traditional ales, and the fermentation can take several weeks to complete as a result. After fermentation the ale is cold aged to aid in clarity. This produces a very malty but clean beer profile. You also want to select a low attenuation yeast that can handle the lower temperatures.

Though Edinburgh is famous for its pale ales and hard water, high sulfate water is not a critical element in brewing scotch ale and in fact can be detrimental as it brings out the hop sharpness too much. I personally recommend a moderate neutral water profile low in sulfates that will support the malty base and not enhance the hops excessively.

Own notes: Soak oak chips in single malt scotch for a week, while in primary. Add to primary. Birthday gift: beer and scotch!

BIAB Procedure

Brew365 calculator.

Parameters:
Batch size 3.2 g
Trub loss 0.5 g
Mash thickness 1.5qts/lb
Grain temp 70 f
Wort shrinkage 4%
Grain absorption 0.13g/lb
Boil off 15%

1. Start with strike water of 8.82L (2.33G) @ 166.33F.
2. Put in 6.2 lbs of grains.
3. Sach Rest at 155F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb (0.806), should end up with 1.52G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 11.43L (3.02G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.5G of pre-boil wort.
8. Begin boil as usual

Mash started at 158, went down to 153 @ 30 mins. 151 @ 10 mins.

Didnt factor in partial mash with extract additions. Post-boil wort was 3.9 gallons - which estimates a 6.7% abv. Good enough.

Looks like efficiency was super low...maybe because of the partial mash? I shoulvde read about it beforehand.

Added 3 oz (6 Tbsp) of Johnny Walker Red and very fine oak chips. Keep sealed in fridge for 5-7 days. Put in Monday-Wednesday.

First taste on 10/26 - two weeks after bottling. App: Much darker then I expected - it is a deep reddish brown. Minimal head, might change with more time in bottles. Aroma: A very sharp and crisp malty aroma with notes of oak and lots of scotch. Taste: Kind of like a maltier, weaker scotch. Perfect. MF: Medium body, medium-low carbonation.

Second taste on 11/10 - four weeks after bottling. App: Dark brown with deep ruby highlights.. Minimal head. Aroma: Scotch still comes though. Slightly smoky with deep caramel. Taste: Full and sweet taste with hints of single malt scotch and caramel. No hop bitterness. MF: Medium-low carbonation. Medium viscosity. Overall: Wish it had greater head retention, but usually this style doesn't. Maybe add carapils next time. Quite delicious though, with a burst of flavour. Scotch isn't quite as strong as I suspected.

Description: This clean, malt-forward beer aged on scotch-soaked oak chips will leave you oddly refreshed. Dark brown in colour with deep ruby highlights, you will taste hints of single malt scotch and caramel with no hop bitterness. Brewed as an homage to my older brother's birthday and his affinity for scotch, the twenty-four bottles of this limited edition release will be gone quickly. 5.9% abv, 24 IBUs.

Notes: For the 3rd batch, don't have the Carahell, but need to use the yeast. Will swap in carapils, cutting it from 1 lb to 0.5 lb and see what we get. Will also make water adjustments to make it drier and up the bitterness another 5 -10 IBUS. Running out of perle so might swap in something there too.
The BBFKL did a really nice job on this beer. I fermented at 60ºF under 15 PSI. I felt it was just a touch on the sweet side so adding 5 IBU to balance that out, but to be. honest this beer disappeared faster than any other beer I've ever made. Upped the bittering slightly and also a little bit more sulphate. Still not 1:1, but closer.

First time I made this I did a triple decoction as the recipe called for. It was a very nice beer, but a ton of effort. Gonna emulate that with some melanoidin and call it a day this time.

Also, using Bootleg Biology's Frakonian Keller Lager Beta culture from August 2022.
