| Notes: Add 1 dried chipotle to the boil with 10 minutes left and allow to infuse; remove when boil is done. For additional peppers, add to 8oz bourbon and allow to infuse through primary fermentation. Once primary has completed, add syrup to secondary vessel and rack beer onto it. Sugar in syrup should trigger more fermentation; once that's completed, add dry hops and then use a small child's medicine syringe or other device to add 10mL at a time to taste. My brew used about 80mL, but could use more or less to taste; taste daily and realize that the spice flavor will mellow with time. |

Notes: This oatmeal stout is fermented with extremely clean yeast providing a true expression of the malt and hops characteristics.
The malt extract is a blend of pale malt with some caramel 60, Munich, and black malt. It creates a dark wort with a smooth taste and at the high rate of addition in this beer, the caramel, honey, bread, coffee, chocolate, and toasty flavors boldly fill the palate.
The addition of oatmeal flour gives a rich, smooth mouthfeel and full body to the beer.
The Minnesota grown Mighty Axe Sterling hops infuse a delicately spicy, citrusy aroma with a floral and herbal nuance. The high oil content allows the hops flavor to last through the finish without over-riding the malt and oatmeal character of this wonderful porter.
Extract brewing can be simple and rewarding! Note that while the equipment costs far less than the equivalent all-grain systems, the cost to let someone else create your extract over extracting the sugars from grains yourself is more expensive by about 20-50%. The cost per 20oz (one bottle) of beer for this brew comes to just over $2.12.
For a fermentation airlock, run a section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose from the grommet on the lid to the bottom of one of the gallon jugs filled with sanitizer solution in tap water, and place the gallon jug and the fermentation bucket at the same height.
The recommended inoculation rate of this yeast is 2 grams per 5 gallons, or approximately 1/2 tsp. The yeast packet comes with 11 grams. The maximum pitch rate is 4g/5gal.
Primary fermentation ambient temperature can be anywhere in the yeast's fermentation temperature range, so fermenting warmer at around 75f will speed up the fermentation process, but the beer should not get warmer than 76f. If the fermenting liquid gets warmer than 76f, place the beer is a cooler (and still dark) area such as a basement or cooled fermentation chamber.
To bottle your beer, precondition each sanitized bottle with 2 Northern Brewer Fizz Drops. Attach a 5-8 foot section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose to the Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot and the other end of the hose to the Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler. Slowly open the spigot until it is fully open. Place the spring tip filler into the bottle and press the tip in on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle until the liquid reaches the top. Remove the filler and the bottle will be filled to the optimal height.
Secondary fermentation in bottles takes between 14 and 21 days. 17.5 is usually a safe number of days to allow carbonation to build.
Do not be lead astray by the math provided by this recipe. Final gravity is likely to be much lower, and the ABV of this beer is likely to be higher due to the extremely high alcohol tolerance of this yeast.
Don't forget to sanitize everything including the outside rims of the brew equipment and even the outside of the yeast packet. |

Notes: rinse and soak Medium Toast French Oak cubes (2oz before soak) in Cognac (VS is probably the highest grade you want to go with here, just because of cost) in glass jar or other sealable container during entire primary fermentation step. Cubes may soak up enough cognac to lower level of liquid, add liquid to keep cubes completely submerged even though they will float.
When ready to introduce Cubes/chips to the secondary fermenter before racking your beer gently on top of them, remove them from the brandy and place them in a sanitized bowl. Discard or drink the brandy, up to you.
I'd start with 10 days on the cognac and oak. If you feel comfortable tasting without oxidizing from secondary, try it and see if the cognac and oak are coming through. If they've just started to come through, you can probably bottle/keg. Keep in mind that once you can taste the oak in the beer, even in a lighter beer style, it's easy to go overboard on it if you leave the wood in too long; sometimes it's best to pull the beer when you have the flavors rather than going overboard.
If you're having problems attenuating, do what I do, and add the sugar as a thick simple syrup with the cognac oak in secondary. You'll get a bit of a kreusen, but it shouldn't be so big that you'll need to worry about that extra head space, and the sugar should ferment out quickly.
I normally bottle and cork about 25% of this each batch just to see how the flavors develop over time with the slow oxidation of the cork. |

http://www.goodbeer.com/big-daddy-ipa
Style: American India Pale Ale
ABV: 6.5% ABV
IBU: 60 IBU
Malt: Two Row Pale, Light Munich
Hops: Columbus, Cascade, Centennial
Availability: Year-round
Formats: Draft, 12oz. cans, 12oz. & 22oz. bottles
Big Daddy IPA is a hop-head's delight, a generously dry-hopped yet surprisingly drinkable American-style India Pale Ale. Poured into a standard American pint glass, the beer is a golden straw color, with tight carbonation and a slightly off-white head that leaves a lovely lacing. The aroma is floral, fresh grass, pine needles, grapefruit, and some subtle notes of fresh bread.
Steeping grains:
Steep grains at 66-70 for 45 mins. Not expecting much conversion... it's mainly for body, flavour, freshness, colour and head retention. |
