Notes: Recipe is built off of a 3:1 ratio of Maris Otter to flaked barley, shooting for a gravity of about 1.036. Specialty grains make up the remainder of the grain bill with a target gravity of 1.044. I wanted to keep this close to a traditional dry stout so I stuck with the recommended 1lb of Roasted Barley per 5gl batch.

Acidulated malts are used to adjust the wort pH to 5.2 (optimum for most barley beers). If you don't have access to pH testing equipment or strips, it's probably safer to omit it entirely.

BIAB efficiencies can vary wildly until you nail down your process, so consider double crushing your grains and running a 90 minute mash infusion. I've intentionally designed this recipe with a lower efficiency in mind, but a well established BIAB brewer can hit efficiencies as high as 85%! Adjust accordingly for your own equipment.

You want to maximize attenuation, so make sure that your mash temp is no higher than 152°F (67°C) to avoid extracting un-fermentable dextrin's. This means that you want to try and avoid applying direct heat, adding hot water or anything else that would cause the mash temperature to spike over 152°F.

Brew in a bag procedure:

1. Heat 11.7L (3.1gal) of strike water to 167°F (75°C)
2. Add grains to brew kettle in nylon bag
3. Stabilize the grain bed at 67°C (152°F) and hold for 60 minutes.
4. Remove the nylon bag and transfer to another vessel.
5. Sparge with 17.8L (4.7gal) boiling water to bring mash bed back up to 67°C (152°F). Add runnings back into the wort.
5. Hang or squeeze out the bag to extract any remaining sugars. Add runnings back into the wort. If necessary, top up with clean water to reach the boil volume of 22.7L (6gal).
7. Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding the hops and spices as indicated in the ingredients list.
8. Cool to 21°C (70°F)
9. Oxygenate and pitch the yeast.
10. Ferment for 4-6 days in primary fermenter at 65°F (19°C) or until FG is reached. Because there are not a lot of sugars in this beer it tends to be fairly fast fermenting. Often the primary ferment will be complete in 72 hours if you ferment at room temperature.
11. (Optional) Transfer to a secondary and let fermentation complete and settle for 7 days.
12. (Optional) For best results, "cellar" or age at 10°C (50°F) to help drop yeast out of suspension.
13. Bottle or keg, condition for ~2 weeks before drinking.

Notes: Aiming for a beer that tastes like honey-roasted peanuts. Base style is somewhere between Scottish Export and Northern English Brown Ale.

BIAB, no sparge. Higher mash temp is to offset drying effect of 19% honey and molasses additions.

Use 1 6.5 oz jar powdered PB2 for peanut flavor toward end of boil, along with tiny amount of sea salt. To help dissolve the powder, remove about 1 qt wort from the boil into another (high-sided) pot, and stir in with an immersion blender (or whisk/spoon/etc). Add 4 oz of the honey and 2 oz molasses at flameout, and the other 7 oz honey after primary fermentation. Taste first, and if it needs more peanut flavor, add (up to) another 6.5 oz jar of PB2 (boil some water to blend the powder in, then add to primary fermenter, or add to secondary and rack beer on top of it).

Brewday. What a mess. I'm not sure if it was being unfamiliar with darker malts, or that I ground my grain too fine, but the bag became clogged within a few minutes. Pretty much had to stir and scrape the bag for the entire 90 min mash. The upside to this is that is that I hit 80% efficiency, my highest ever. And this beer is going to now be an 8.5% monster.

Also had some wild temp fluctuations while trying to figure out why my sparge was sticking. 1st I forgot to turn the heat down to 156 while adding grain, so it stayed at 165 for a couple of minutes. Then, when everything was getting backed up, the top kettle temp dropped into the 130's while the bottom temp probe showed 154. Eventually, with a lot of stirring, it all evened out about 30 minutes into the mash.

OG = 1.080

4-17-2017
Rehydrated and pitched the K-97 at the same time as the US-05 for the Garage Floor IPA.

5-15-2017
Transferred to keg. FG=1.021, 7.74% ABV

7-14-2017
Finally finished this off. Was a very smooth drinking stout for my first try. Next time try some vanilla and a little less of the chocolate roast flavor.

Notes: This beer is based on clone of Carton Regular coffee I brewed, adding the maple syrup in place of the cocoa.
Use 2 packs of US-05 fermented at 65deg. Add 8.9oz (1 small bottle) Maple syrup when initial fermentation has calmed but not stopped. Soak Vanilla Beans in grain alcohol for the length of primary fermentation and add the liquid, bacon juice and Coffee Beans to secondary for 7 days. Add another 8.9oz bottle of maple syrup to the keg, chill and carb.
