Notes: Soaking nibs and coffee beans in run, whiskey, or vodka and will let sit a few data before adding to primary once fg is reached. Will then rack half into a 10L oak mini barrel and rest into keg. I'll age ijn the mini barrel tasting regularly until I feel the right oak character has been imparted before bottling.

1) Started with 4 gallons of water, mashed in at 162F. Completed 60 minute mash - ph 5-5.2. Raised temp for mashout and didn't squeeze.

2) Boil was normal, followed hop schedule. With 10 mins left I turned off burner and added lactose, 1/2 tsp yeast nutrient, and half a whirlfloc tablet.

3) Immersion chilled to ~70F then transfered to fermenter. OG 1.054

4) Placed fermenter in temp controlled chamber and cooled to 66F before letting aerator run for ~30m then pitched ballooned yeast packet.

5) Fermentation going strong 12 hours in.

6) 10 days in and fermentation seems wrapped up. Pulled a sample and the beer tastes great. I course ground 2oz of cacao nibs and 2oz of metropolis coffee beans (med roast) and am soaking in bourbon for 24 hours to add to primary.

7) After 24 hours I added mix with liquid (soaked up mostly) to the primary, left in for about 48 hours and tasted. It seemed the flavor had settled in so I decided it was time to keg / barrel the batch.

8) I added a little over a gallon to a 10L mini-barrel and kegged the remainder of ~1.5 gallons.

9) After barrel-aging for about 48 hours, I bottled directly from the barrel and used fermcaps. Bottles were sanitized and purged with co2.

Barrel-aged: The oak flavor overpowered the cacao nibs and coffee, likely cause it was a new barrel that hadn't aged anything yet. I'm going to let those condition for several weeks before drinking.

Kegged: I set the vols to 1.8-2.0 to carbonate through set and forget. I've been tasting the beer hasn't yet carbonated, but has a good overall flavor. The coffee overpowered the cacao so I think next time I'll do 2:1 cacao to coffee.

Notes: Just an attempt to make a typical light ale without adding corn or rice or other junk.

Adjusted for efficiency and final ABV. Very pale in color and could probably do without the last 2min addition of saaz hops if your looking for a Coors lite type of beer with no hop flavor.

Planning to repeat with Hallertau with no last minute additions.

Notes: Pilsner was used merely to make up the pale malt grain bill as there was not enough maris otter.

26/4/15 Have brewed this once (22/4/15) and it appears to have just missed target ABV by 0.5. So, not bad.

Aroma so far is roasty and coffeeish, maybe with a bit of chocolate. Still very green and a little harsh. Bottling in a week's time and giving four weeks conditioning.
