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: Step by Step
One week before brew day, get a WLP007 yeast starter going. When starter activity slows, decant the spent wort and add fresh wort.On brew day, crush the grains and place in two steeping bags. Steep the bags at 155 °F (68 °C) in 16 quarts (15 L) of water for 20 minutes. Rinse the grains with 2 quarts (2 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) hot water. Add dried malt extract (DME) and table sugar. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops at the specified times. Chill the wort to 70 °F (21 °C) and add water to achieve 5 gallons (19 L) of wort. Aerate the wort and add WLP007 starter (decanting the spent wort first). When fermentation slows, take a gravity reading and add WLP099 starter (if needed) to achieve a final specific gravity of 1.035. Keg or bottle carbonate, aiming for a carbonation level of 2.0–2.2 volumes of CO2. Once carbonated, condition at cellar temperature for several months. Flavor should peak at about one year and remain there for at least another year.
Tips for Success:
Pitching plenty of healthy yeast is paramount for a high gravity brew. When in doubt, pitch more. Be patient with the fermentation and conditioning process. Beer doesn't have a schedule. For bottle carbonation, pitch fresh yeast at bottling time if the WLP099 wasn't needed during the brew day. Give the bottles adequate time to carbonate. This beer needs to age, anyway. You'll thank me later for saving it until its peak. If you would like, try aging this beer in a bourbon barrel. How long to barrel condition is a matter of individual taste. Our club likes a full bourbon flavor, so we age the beer for several months. We don't worry about temperature. The barrel's alive, and varying temperatures allow the wood to expand and contract, imparting those wonderful oak and bourbon flavors. |
