Notes: Pre-Brew: Oak Chips
THE NIGHT BEFORE: In a container with lid add oak chips and 1/3 cup
bourbon. Cover and shake to incorportate. Keep covered and let sit at room
temperature overnight.
Pre-Brew: Sanitize
You might be surprised to learn that sanitization might actually be the most
important thing here. If things are not completely clean, your yeast will die.
You will not drink good beer, and the next few steps will only provide you with
a valuable learning experience instead of a decidedly more valuable drinking
experience.
• Dissolve half of your sanitzer 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.
• NOTE: Follow the instructions on your sanitizer. Sanitizers are
different. C-Brite should be rinsed off. StarSan does not need to be.
Brooklyn Brew Shop’s Sanitizer is also no rinse. One packet makes two
gallons. Use half for brewing and half for bottling.
The Mash
• Heat 2.25 quarts (2.1 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”).
The Sparge
• Heat additional 4 quarts (3.8 liters) of water to 170°F (77°C).
• 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.
The Boil
• In a pot, heat wort until it boils.
• 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:
- Add 1/3 Golding Hops 30 minutes into boil.
- Add 1/3 Golding Hops 55 minutes into boil.
- Add remaining Golding Hops 59 minutes into boil.
- At 60 minutes turn off heat. Dissolve Candi Sugar. Add Bourbon
Soaked Oak Chips.
• 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.
Fermentation
• 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.
• Sanitize, then re-assemble airlock, filling up to line with sanitizer.
• Insert airlock into hole in stopper.
• Keep in a dark place at room temperature for two weeks 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.

Two Weeks Later: Bottling
• 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 maple syrup 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 maple
syrup 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 flow after
each bottle.
• Close bottles.
• Store in a dark place for 2 weeks
Two Weeks Later: Enjoying
• Put beers in the fridge the night before you drink them.
• Drink. Share with friends if you’re the sharing type. |

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.

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.
