Notes: Either gather 1.75 gallons of water, run it through the brita, or buy it. Tap water should be ok, but if you use tap, let it sit out over night so that it off-gasses the chlorine.
Also have on hand:
-1 cup cold water
-1 cup Hot water (boil before heating the strike water - the mash water)
-2 big bags of ice.
-Starsan or Iodophor sanitiser, properly diluted as per instructions.
Add some sanitizer to a small bucket as well as your fermentation vessel/jug.
Take your smack pack of yeast out of the fridge and, following the instructions, smack it good and hard. Put it aside to do it's thing while you brew.
Mash water needed: .75 gallons
Sparge/wash water needed: 1.5 gallons
Bring the .75 gallons up to 165 degrees.
Mash in (add the grains) and mix REALLY well.
Check temp and adjust with hot or cold water as required. A half a cup of either will be good to raise the temp a couple degrees, so add at like .5 cup at a time, mix, and check temp. You really just want to be within +/- 2 degrees of the prescribed temp, don't worry.
Let that sit for 1 hour. Check temps every so often and turn the burner on as required to keep the mash at temp. Be sure to stir when heating to make sure you don't char any of the grains.
While it is mashing, at around the 40 minute mark, start to heat up the additional 1 gallons of "sparge" water to like 190 or so.
Place your strainer on the other pot and slowly pour the mash into it to collect the grains. Do this twice or three times, pouring the wort over the grains. Here you are trying to limit the amount of grain material that is in the wort. You want it to be relatively free of "stuff".
Don't forget to grab a couple ounces, add some whiskey, and have yourself a hot scotchy!
Alternatively, you could research "BIAB" or Boil in a Bag. This will help tremendously with controlling your grains. Seriously, check it out.
Slowwwwly pour your sparge water over the grains in the strainer to collect your final volume. You should collect about 1.5 gallons of wort.
Boil that biatch. Don't use a lid. BE CAREFUL of boil over, at least at first, make sure you watch it for the rising bubbles. When you see it, just take the pot off that burner and stir a bit. Reduce the heat slightly, then put the pot back on the burner. Once you get a nice steady boil without rising bubbles, you are good to go and you can start your 60 minute timer.
Add the hops as indicated.
Bear in mind: 30 minutes indicates 30 minutes REMAINING in the boil. Same goes for 5 minutes or zero minutes. This one's easy because it's all at either 30 or 0. I just want to be clear that 0 means at the end, as you are turning off the burner, add the hops and give them a stir.
After the boil, fill the sink with cold water, place the pot in the cold water, and add the ice. Try not to get any of the ice or water in the wort as it cools.
EVERYTHING FROM THIS POINT ON MUST BE SANITIZED.
Using your sanitized thermometer, check the temperature of the wort until it drops to around 70 F.
Add the wort to the sanitized jug, top up with cold bottled water if required, and shake like the devil himself. Careful not to spill, and be sure that your hand is sanitized. Don't exceed the 1 gallon mark.
Cut the top off of the yeast pack, pitch the yeast, and add the stopper and properly prepared blow off tube.
Place in a cool area for your two week fermentation then bottle as usual. I would suggest adding 1.5 tablespoons of granulated sugar to like half a cup of water, bring to a boil for like 5 minutes to make sure it's fully mixed. Let it cool for a bit, then add to the sanitized pot you'll be using for bottling as you are racking your beer from the fermenter into the pot.
Bottle as usual.
Notes:
If you need to substitute the yeast. You can use Safale S-04. But try to get the Scottish Ale Yeast, it gives a great malt character to the beer.
If you need to, you can substitute the grains for similar ones. The brew shops should be able to help you with proper substitutions.
When you drink a beer, try to wash the bottle right after. Better yet, pour the beer into a nice glass, and wash the bottle immediately. This will make storage easier and will help ensure no nasty things grow and potentially ruin your beer in the bottles.
Have fun and remember the homebrew slogan:

Relax, Don't worry, Have a Home Brew.

Notes: 1. Heat 8 litres of water to 75C in induction pot. Turn off heat and add BIAB bag, with the seam on the inside.
2. Pour in HALF the pale malt and flaked barley while stirring - get rid of lumps. Add remaining half and stir for 5 mins.
3. Check temp is 65-70: preferably 65-67C - adjust if necessary with cold water or add heat.
4. Wrap a thick towel round the pot and leave alone for one hour. Check temp is between 65-70c and preferably 65c- after half an hour. Stir. Add heat or cold water if not.
5. After 60 mins is up, lift out grain bag and put into colander above the induction stock pot, leaving the bag to drain for a minute or 2. Squeeze bag.
6. Use another 7 litres of bottled water and pour it over the grain bag. Leave 10 mins, stir, and strain the liquid to the induction stock pot. Should have about 13 litres, which will reduce when boiled for an hour.
Take pre-boil gravity following sparge and measure how much wort collected.
7. Dispose of grains, add all wort to pan and bring to boil. Boil for 40 mins then add 15g MAGNUM hops.
8. Boil for a further 10 mins then add 10g CITRA and 20g CASCADE hops.
9. Boil for a further 5 mins then add 10g CITRA and 20g CASCADE hops for final 5 mins of boil.
10. FLAMEOUT AT 60 MINS. When wort has cooled to 80C; add 20g CASCADE and 10g CITRA.
11. Pour wort into sterilised FV to cool (NO CHILL). Cover with lid. Once it has sufficiently cooled, add to a second sterilised FV via sterilised sieve to catch hops, and top up the level to 10 litres if necessary. Pitch 1/2 packet yeast at around 18 - 20C. Leave to ferment for 2 weeks at 18-19c in brew fridge. |

Notes: Used 1.5 pounds of Candi Sugar and substituted Abbey Malt for the C-10 due to availability at the LHBS.
At bottling, added 140g table sugar and 2g fresh yeast, conditioned for three months.
Tasting notes:
At bottling: peppery with bubblegum, small hint of clove and nutmeg.
At 3 months, very mild, some lingering sweetness but still very light in body. Highly carbed (as designed) almost to the point of champagne. The bubbles last the entire slow glass.
Due to the high carbonation, bottled in half-champagne bottles procured from Curds and Wine in San Diego, CA. |
