Notes: Grains are double ground (purchased ground then finely ground using Corona style mill).
Method is all grain but using BIAB bag so no concerns with stuck splarge.
Batch splarge method used.
Re circulation during mash.
Hops added and kept in hop spider.
Oak chips prepared by boiling in boiling water for 3 mins then discarding then pouring boiling water over again once and discarding.
Recipee turned out very smooth, complex and incredibly rich. I will definitely brew again, probably drop the cinnamon as doubt it adds much and up the vanilla. A real treat of a brew.
On day 4, cinnamon stick, oak chips, split vanilla pod and cacao nibs were covered in 50ml Jack Daniels and 50ml Dalmore whiskey. Left overnight.
Drained and contents put into hop bag the following morning and fresh coffee brewed on top (using Nespresso Vertuoline machine). Alto dolce capsule used (414 ml fresh strong coffee). Left to cool then added to primary on day 5.
Less priming sugar used for porter added to mini-keg barrels (some bottled). Used N20 rather than CO2 for dispensing
1st Brew:
Got a higher efficiency than expected - 1.07 (1.06 preboil) from above grain bill. Sadly lost about 4l in a massive boil over in the past 5 minutes of the boil when adding protofloc.
Final gravity 1.024 which is only 64% attenuation
Think I left it on the primary too little time but ABV still 6.04%. Gonna check readings in another week and then look to bottle and age. |

Notes: This is a scaled down version of a soured saison I brewed. The initial batch was 11 gallons brewed in 10/2013. It aged with dregs from Cantillon, Jolly Pumpkin and Orval until 04/2015 at which point I pulled a gallon and let it age on half a pound of elderberries. The Cantillon lambic-like character really came out after 60 days on fruit so I bottled it. This beer won bronze in the sour category of the MontreAler's Ale and Lager Throwdown (MALT) in Nov 2015. |

Brewed this at an in-person brew-compeititon at Broken Cauldron taproom. This won first place.
It's a very solid extra stout. It is probably closer in style to a Tropical stout, with its lower bitterness. |

4th iteration of the recipe to get as close as possible to the commercial example. If you want to make an inspired version of it then don't look here. '
Clone' means to make it as close to the real thing as possible, don't add random bits of crap in there because you feel like it.
