Notes: 1st place American Porter and Stout Category, Oregon Brew Crew Fall Classic
https://fallclassic.brewingcompetitions.com/
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reiterated mash (1/2 grains each mash)
Water chemistry / mash notes:
2/3 minerals added to 1st strike + 1st sparge (7.7 gal) with remaining 1/3 added to 2nd mash.
pH was too low for both mashes, so added 0.75g baking soda to 1st mash and 1g to 2nd mash
----------------------
Notes from Great Fermentations
Suggested Mash Temperature:
A high mash temperature is recommended to create a big Imperial stout with lots of body. We suggest a mash temperature of 155° - 157°F.
Fermentation Schedule:
We recommend a primary fermentation of two to four weeks at 64° - 72° F, and a secondary fermentation for 2 to 4 weeks before bottling or kegging, adding cold steeped coffee, vanilla beans or vanilla bean tincture in the secondary or at packaging time, as desired. This is a big imperial stout that can be aged for an extended period of time, so don’t be shy about setting a few bottles back for several months!
BREWER’S NOTES:
Snark Lord is quite a huge Imperial Stout! As a delicious, complex beer, there are a few special instructions for making sure this
one comes out as close to the commercial version as possible. One pound of a sugar (not included) is added at the last 10 minutes of the boil. We recommend jagggery, a non-centrifugal cane sugar. Jaggery goes by a number of names and can often be found in Indian or Asian grocery stores. However, you might try turbinado sugar or molasses as a substitute. The two included
vanilla beans can be cut open, scraped and added to the boil, soaked in enough vodka to cover for a few weeks then the resulting tincture added into the secondary at bottling time, or both! The 4 oz of included coffee can be cold steeped in about a quart of water by coarsely crushing the coffee beans (a sandwich bag and a rolling pin or coffee cup work well for this), adding
them to the quart of water, and refrigerating for up to 24 hours. You can then strain out the coffee beans and add the cold steeped coffee to the secondary or in the bottling bucket/keg at packaging time. |

| Notes: Addition of 4 cans of Welch's white grape juice frozen concentrate (undiluted added directly to the fermenter) should add an additional 0.0094 points to the OG Yielding an OG of 1.1024 This is based on total grams of sugar in the concentrate adding 47 points per pound per gallon. |

| Notes: Really nice beer. Needs less wheat next time. Replace with Vienna? Very soft hop flavors from the Huell Melon. Definite cantaloupe/green melon flavors. Totally crushable. The melanoiden gave more color than I anticipated but definitely works for an ESB with that color and IBUs. |

Tasting Notes:
This beer is dark but does not taste dark. It is very smooth. While sparging I could smell the sweet corn smell of the wort. It is an extremely easy beer to drink a few of. Smooth without much hop taste in the way, very malt forward without being to bold. I could drink this beer again and again without question.
