Notes: Hey, all!

Here is my Brettanomyces tropical stout recipe. I originally brewed this a couple years ago at KVCC's sustainable brewing program, where it won a gold medal in the Brett beer category of the US College Open Beer Competition. I liked it at the time but now that I have more experience, I want to brew it again. The original recipe has way too much roasted and highly kilned malts; Brettanomyces can be easily over-shadowed by an intense roast characteristic. I'll be sticking with a little bit of roasted malt and Carafa special II to get the near black color. Carafa special II is great in this recipe because it is "dehusked" which means it won't have as much of that roasted bitterness that is prevalent in roasted malt.
When mashing, opt for a higher temperature (70 C) rather than lower (66 C). A higher mash temperature will result in a more dextrin-focused mash; more dextrin means more food for Brett.
The boil is pretty self-explanatory, just follow the hop/adjunct addition schedule.
Whirlpool and add Saaz hops. Let whirlpool rest for 20 minutes before adding the wort chiller.
Aerate after wort has been chilled to fermentation temperature. Do this whichever way works best for you.
Pitch yeast, place airlock on top of fermenter, and place in a dark room. Once airlock activity has slowed immensely or stopped completely, it is ready for secondary fermentation.
In a sanitized bucket add oak cubes, Brettanomyces, and plum puree. You do not need to purge the bucket with carbon dioxide because the Brettanomyces needs some oxygen in order to remain healthy.
Add an airlock and lid to the bucket and place in a dark room. Secondary fermentation is finished when: the airlock is no longer active AND the desired Brettanomyces character is achieved, this can take anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks.

I plan on brewing this in about a month or so. I need to procure the rest of the equipment needed for my 5-gallon homebrew setup.

Notes: had calculated ibu w wrong starting vol of water. changed it from 19ibu to 80. I addume I did the 3oz of hops but dont recall

Add more of all spices maybe double for next time
Make carafa, crystal malts higher percentage (up to 10 or so) + special B is really good = all add body as well.
OG of 1.25 likely a bad reading 1.15 more likley

put into carboy and it was very full. pitched yeast w 1/5 day starter and it started like crazy very fast, pushing bubbles out, attempted to remove lid realized that was not going to work well. put it back on but was leaking from massive pressure, decided to leave it per call w Sean. Next day leak done as it settled down.

FUTURE: double check carboy size, maybe divide into 2 if massively full. I thought I had 5.5 G but maybe it was more.

Fermented down to 1.033 from 1.15 OG estimate =15÷

Had 5.5+ and fermentation went crazy lost likely .5G. Next time ferment on lower temp range instead of room temp.
ADDED 1.5 OZ Vanilla extract
.5 Oz of almond extract
5 ground up cinnamon cloves soaked in 2 of whiskey

Notes: The honey in this recipe is added to the mash during the boil. It is also diluted in boiling water before it is added.

I recommand using cinnamon sticks during secondary fermentation (14 days), to make it more tasty.

Note well; This beer takes about 3 month of aging before it is perfect on every aspects. Otherwise, the brew took about a month to take place!

High degree alcohol beer, but sweet when it is aged well! Tasty honey brew, your wife will love it!

Notes: 5/20/16 - mashed around 148 to 155 for 90min sparged with 2.7l of 175 degree. No yeast nutrient. Well first try so boil off was not as expected at 90 mins. 4 gals for .079OG the yeast want 70 to 75 for few days then drop it.

6/1/16 - FG .020 disappointing for 7.74% will put on oak and age anyway.

11/4/16 - OG after aging .012 for 8.79% tastes good too!
