Notes

Brewing:
Pre-work - get all ingredients out, clean carboy/tubing with starsan (note starsan dilution instructions on the bottle!). Also clean hydrometer/beaker if measuring ABV.

  1. Raise 1.5 gallons of water to 152f.
  2. Put milled grains and oats into nylon bag, then put the bag into the pot. Stir it around to ensure it's all soaked.
  3. Soak grains for one hour - try to keep temp within 5 degrees of 152f.
  4. Remove nylon bag from the pot - squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Grains can be disposed of or kept for food use (makes good addition to bread, or a base for dog biscuits). If grains are kept, freeze them if you aren't using them soon - they will rot within 2 days in the open.
  5. Bring pot to a boil - set timer for 30m.
  6. Add half of hops with 15m left, then other half with 5m left to boil.
  7. After boil, allow to cool - put it outside or in a water bath to speed up the cooling process. Keep it covered to avoid contamination.
    7b) OPTIONAL: take a measurement of the pre-fermentation original gravity (OG) to determine ABV later. Use the hydrometer and measuring beaker. Note temp adjustments to OG if needed, and write the measurement down for later use.
  8. Once below 90f, transfer wort to carboy using autosiphon. Top up the carboy with fresh cold water from the tap if the boil lowered the volume too much.
  9. Pitch yeast, seal with bung and airlock. Fill airlock with starsan mixture. Watch for bubbling in 1-2 days. Should be finished in ~1 week, best to wait 2 weeks for bottling.

    Note: Keep an eye on the temperature of the carboy. Definitely keep it under 78f, ideally ~66f. Find a nice cool spot for it to live.

    Bottling:
    Pre-work - clean bottling bucket and tubing/siphon with starsan. Also rinse out bottles with starsan, put bottlecaps to be used in a bowl of starsan.

  10. Take final gravity reading with hydrometer - ensure FG is low, indicating completed fermentation. If FG is still high (>1.2), stir the wort and let it keep fermenting for a few days. If low, continue to bottling.
  11. Put 0.7 oz (20 grams) of table sugar in the bottling bucket.
  12. Transfer beer to bottling bucket using autosiphon - stir well.
  13. Use bottling bucket w/ bottle filler to fill bottles, cap with capping tool.
  14. Wait a week for fementation, chill and enjoy!
