Notes: Bell's House Yeast.
.5oz El Dorado + .5oz Azacca into 170F water to steep in french press for 30 mins, strained and added on day 5.
Cold crashed in primary on day 8. Racked to secondary on day 9 onto 2tbls sodium oxide fining to clarify. Was bright and clear ready to keg in 24 hours. Seems to work better than gelatin. |

Notes: 11/4/2017- my guess is that this beer is going to be fairly astringent and not an easy drinker: the amount of blk patent and the dryness, accentuated with the wheat character, along with the bitterness at 30+ IBU's, and the dryness from the sheer amount of attenuation is going to make this an unbalanced beer. Although I hope I'm wrong. I wanted to bring out more roast character from the last beer I had with a little bit more of a dryness. However, I didn't have the 0.5 lb of carafa II i wanted this time.
11/18/17- it is a little astringent but more from the hops than the blk patent. I would bring the 10 minute hop boil to only add 10 IBU's as the nugget hops actually work pretty well; maybe even 10 IBU's around 5 minute tell flameout. I would go 3/4-1 pound of roasted barley, 1/2 pound of carafa II and around 5-8 ounces of blk patent. Maybe try a split batch with a neutral yeast. We'll see when it's under carbonation what it will do though. 1.010. If I change mind about this beer after being on carbonation for a few days, it might be nice to repeat and use two different neutral yeast strains. |

Notes: Mexican Chocolate Stout was one of the first beers that Copper Kettle Brewing Company brewed after it opened in Denver, Colorado, in 2011. The beer won gold the same year at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in the Herb and Spice Beer category.
Mexican Chocolate Stout is a dry stout to export strength of around 7 percent ABV. To that they add chile peppers and cinnamon at two stages of the brewing process, along with cacao nibs in the fermented beer.
According to Copper Kettle’s owner and head brewer, Jeremy Gobien, Mexican Chocolate Stout is very sensitive to temperature, and warm storage can deteriorate the spice flavors. So keep it cold and drink it fresh!

Notes: The goal is to brew an imperial stout that will improve with age so I can brew it every year and start piling up a few years worth.
Things I've tried to far:
1. 2# roasted barley and 2# of chocolate malt: this ended up being a little too roasty. Like badly burnt coffee. I decided to drop it down to 1.5# each.
2. Vanilla: this was good, took the edge off of the aggressive roastiness.
3. Tanka Beans: interesting flavor, but not great in an imperial stout. I'm thinking it would be good in a nut brown ale. It just seemed out of place with the roastiness.
4. Cocoa nibs: good but I did not use enough.
5. Malted oats as part of the base: did not come through in the flavor at all. going to skip this moving forward.
6. Add enough corn sugar to get it up to 13% abv: doesn't seem to have improved it. going to skip this moving forward.
Next time:
- otter base malt, 1.5# each roasted barley and chocolate malt, special b instead of normal crystal malt, vanilla and cocoa nibs in half of it.
random ideas of stuff to try:
-I'd like to try a mexican chocolate version where I use some kind of chili pepper, some cinnamon, anise etc...
-A beligan version might be good. Back the roasted malt off some, add some candi syrup and use belgian yeast. maybe throw in some plums or berries etc... for good measure.
-It would be interesting to see what happens with like a year on oak. I might brew this twice in a row and stick one of them in the back of my closet with some oak cubes for a year. |
