Notes: Beamish-Style Dry Stout
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.041 (10.2 °P)
FG = 1.009 (2.4 °P)
IBU = 40 SRM = 50 ABV = 4.1%

Ingredients
6.0 lb. (2.72 kg) Crisp British pale ale malt or similar malt made from Maris Otter
1.75 lb. (794 g) Great Western flaked barley
17.0 oz. (482 g) Great Western roasted barley (500 °L) (crushed)
7.6 AAU Challenger pellet hops (0.95 oz./27 g at 8% alpha acids)(60 min.)
2.5 AAU Kent Golding pellet hops (0.5 oz./14 g at 5% alpha acids) (15 min.)
White Labs WLP004 (Irish Ale), Wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale) or Fermentis Safale US-05 yeast

Step by Step
Crush the roasted barley very fine. Run it through a coffee mill or use a rolling pin to turn it almost to dust. That is critical to getting the right flavor and color with this recipe. Mill the remaining grains as normal and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 120 °F (49 °C). Hold the mash at 120 °F (49 °C) for 15 minutes then raise the temperature to 148 °F (64 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 6.5 gallons (24.4 L) and the gravity is 1.032 (8 °P).

The total wort boil time is 90 minutes. Add the bittering hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings and the last hop addition with 15 minutes left in the boil. Chill the wort rapidly to 69 °F (21 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate thoroughly.

Ferment at 69 °F (21 °C). Slowly raise the temperature during the final 1⁄3 of fermentation by 6 °F (3 °C) to reduce diacetyl levels in the beer. When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 1 to 1.5 volumes and serve at 52 to 55 °F (11 to 13 °C).

Notes: As usual, I've got some Cubs themes going on here. Cubby Claus is my invention and he's Santa's buddy, a guy who travels to the homes of kids who are Cubs fans to deliver them presents. Each night on Christmas Eve, the kids leave out milk and cookies for Santa and beer for CC. So I thought he'd need a porter with some spice and body to get him through the night. After beer is added to fermenter, prepare a mix of wood chips and bourbon; rinse lightly to remove any dust or loose debris before boiling to sanitize and also to create an oak tea; place in container and add bourbon (I plan to use Crown Maple), then seal. When primary fermentation is complete, add the bourbon/oak tea and chips to the fermenter (or add to secondary and rack on top) and sample every 24 hours or so to judge the flavor. Might also add the chips to the primary and then reserve the remaining bourbon and add that to the keg and rack on top. And, in case you were wondering, the spices are all "C" words and the hops are "W" as an homage to the flag flown after the Cubs win. 3 packets Nottingham, 33g

Subbed Warrior for Super Galena
Added Rice Hulls

Possibly dry hop 14g Citra for one week.

Did an extended whirlpool instead of dry hopping. See how that effects aroma

Notes: Asked for .6# of TF peat smoked malt instead of .06#... so now it's a smoked peat scotch ale! This is pushing the limit on this smoked malt so hopefully a lot of smoke is all I get. Doesn't smell or taste bad from the boil so hopefully that's the case after it ferments.

Brewed 28FEB2017
Gravity 08APR2017 was 1.022, attenuation adjusted

Update 19AUG2017
This beer actually came out pretty darn good. Sweet, smokey, but I personally don't find it overpowering. I think it will age well.

Notes: This was originally taken from a Belgian Blonde Strong Ale recipe. As this is a THC infused beer I decided to go with a more estery yeast, a small amount of biscuit malt for body and color, and some coriander and additional IBU to cut the grassy flavor of the tincture, which makes it a bastardized tripel. The small batch and higher alcohol reflects this is a beer intended to be savored and aged.

Also, the starting gravity was 1.049 with a 5.5 gallon start. OG is accurate.

Added 0.5 oz of crushed coriander at 10 min along with the Saaz hops.

The Candi Sugar was added to the wort at 100 degrees.

The honey was added at 75 degrees, just prior to pitching the yeast.

Fermented at 65 degrees 2 days and raised to 68 degrees for 5 days. Transferred to secondary after one week. Gravity was 1.012 at transfer. Secondary for two weeks at 68 degrees. Beer began lightly carbonating which is why the priming sugar is fairly modest.

The THC tincture was made with decarboxylated trim leaves and very small buds soaked in rectified spirits (diluted to 60% abv - 120 proof). Tincture was warmed in a mason jar to 120 degrees for 2 hours, then stored 2 months, shaking once per week.

It was tested for a metered 1.8tsp (0.3oz) per 12 ounces to get a regular user pretty high. The THC tincture was added directly to the bottles with syringe (~8ml) for an additional 1.5% abv (12 oz/0.3oz= 40; 60abv/40=1.5).

One was bottled in a clear glass to observe the setting and final color. All other bottles were brown as we were unsure if the chlorophyll will impact the beer. The first image is the beer two hours after bottling and the remaining tincture, which was roughly 10ml per 12 oz.

We saved a six pack of base beer for aging. In hindsight, it would have been best to add the tincture to a tertiary fermentation for 1-2 weeks to allow for some of the green to settle out. the second picture is 10 days of settling.
