Notes: This beer originated in my mind as a honey oatmeal stout, but i decided milk and honey went together better. I was originally going to use 2 pounds of raw honey, but everyone i have talked to and all the honey beers i have tried that did so wound up tasting funny a few weeks after bottle conditioning. Decided to skip raw honey and focus on high amounts of specialty grains, lower abv, and lighter color. Borrowed this recipe for a base:
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/237836/chocolate-milk-stout-patio-1812-
This recipe was chosen for its lighter color and lower abv as not to overpower subtle honey notes.
I then substituted my own yeast and hops varieties, changed the chocolate grains to 1 lb specialty honey malts sourced from Root Shoot Malting (keep it colorado local!) and substituted crystal for 4 oz roasted barley.
Was considering using a Lager yeast to help with sweet notes, but my local brewshop (Elevated Fermentations of Loveland) recommended keep it ale but do a hefeweizen. this is going to let those sweet notes and possible banana notes to come through, complimenting the honey notes (in theory)
i am not too familiar with Cluster hops but their flavor profile did not match my goals so i chose Magnum for bittering since it does not impart a strong flavor profile, again allowing the subtle honey notes to come through, then cascade for aroma. I feel the fruity/sweet notes of cascade will accentuate the honey, and is pretty common in most colorado beers from what i have found.
Originally hoped to do a yeast starter but my schedule won't allow so just going to hope for the best and pitch straight from the tube on brew day, which should be fine. In the future if i make this again i will make a starter to maximize my potential.
My hope is that the flavor profile will be simple enough to be able to taste light forward notes of honey, subtle underlying notes of coffee, and a chocolate finish. Should have a creamy mouthfeel but otherwise light. |

Steeped 12 oz Weyermann CaraMunich II & Weyermann Carafa Special III in 5.5 gal water @162º for 15 minutes. Drained fully.
Added 4.33 lbs Breiss CBW Golden Light DME
2.21 lbs. Breiss Munich LME + .92 lbs Golden Lite DME (equivalent to) 3.3 Munich LME; brought to a boil/60 minutes, added Columbus hops at 55 min.
After 20 min. whirlpool/stand, cooled in ice bath to 65º w/in 30 minutes
Aerated by pouring wort back and forth 6-7 times between sanitized pots/buckets
After straining out hops/gunk, 3.2 gallons wort poured into fermenter; added 2.2 gallons pre-boiled/cooled tap water
OG: 1.061 - Brewer’s Friend says 1.056 (I added a 1/2 lb. less malt than recipe. Tasted pretty hearty.)
Let sit overnight
Used Imperial Flagship liquid yeast, poured cold
Pitched at 2 p.m., wort @ 67º
Started foaming/belching overnight, up to 72º, nice thick krausen forming

Dropped to 62º by 11 AM, 60º by 12 noon
Changed ice - 3 small bags - rose to 62º by 1 PM, 65º by 3
11.13 AM, about 61º, switched to 2 small bags. Fluctuated betw. 64-68º all day.
11.14 AM, at 62º in AM w/ice almost all melted but water cold & basement cooler (below freezing outside, set to 66º inside overnight). Removed a bag to get it back up a bit.
11.15 AM, ice mostly melted, wort at 66; cooler in basement so didn’t add more; stayed at 66-68 all day
11.16: no ice, still at 66-67º all day. Active fermentation ceased.

11.18: Dry-hopped w/ingredient variations
1.5 oz Chinook pellets

11:20: 70º and holding
11.21: 70º and holding
