Notes: Mill the grains and mash at 156°F (69°C) for 30 minutes (or as long it takes to pass the iodine test). Vorlauf until your runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge the grains with 168°F (76°C) water and top up as necessary to get about 6.6 gallons (25 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 75 minutes, following the schedule for the boil hops.
After the boil, chill the wort to about 64–66°F (18–19°C). Aerate well, add the yeast nutrient, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 68°F (20°C) until it reaches final gravity, then give it 2 more days to clear diacetyl. Chill to 42°F (6°C) if possible (if not, proceed at 68°F (20°C), but reduce the oak chips by half). Prepare and sanitize a secondary fermentor and place the oak chips and whole-cone hops in a weighted hop bag. Purge the secondary fermentor with CO2 before racking beer into it and adding the first round of dry hops. If possible (i.e., using a conical), dump the cone after the first 3 days, then add the second round of dry hops. After 3 more days (if possible), dump the hops again. Allow up to 2 weeks to clear diacetyl (see below), then crash, package, and carbonate.
BREWER’S NOTES
Very important: On the day of the first dry hop, take a gravity reading of the beer and note this in your brew log. This exercise will be particularly helpful as it relates to hop creep. Three days after the second dry hop, take a gravity reading and note it. Do the same the following day. Once you go 2 days in a row where your gravity has not dropped from the secondary fermentation from hop creep, you can proceed with bottling or kegging. Depending on your conditions, you might have to wait up to 2 weeks to clear the diacetyl from hop creep. (For more about hop creep and testing for diacetyl, see Brewing with Hops: Don’t Get Creeped Out and Hunting for Diacetyl.)
About those bittering hops: There is a limit to how much alpha acid can be isomerized in beer and also to how much can be perceived. While the calculated IBUs for this recipe might be about 195, a spectrometer reading measured them closer to 80. (The yeast also take up a large portion of isomerized alpha acids, which is why the yeast from an IPA fermentation tastes so bitter.) |

Notes: 1800 mil starter
dissolve cocoa powder with 5 oz corn sugar
in 1 qt hot water to make syrup.Add syrup
45 minutes into the boil.
2-3 vanilla beans soaked for a week
in rum added to secondary.
This beer finished at 1.020 due to the
unfermentables and high mash temp.
The F.G was 5.0 a bit lower than
expected.Efficiency was way off.
In my 14 years of brewing this is my
personal favorite beer.
Head retention and lacing last to the
bottom of the glass.
Batch #2 finished at 1.015 and shows
in final ABV.This is where I want this
beer to finish,it is more to the style.
Brewhouse efficiency was around 62% in first batch.Batch #2 was 73% which is
about right for my system.
ABV 5.70 nice winter beer with some
alcohol warmth.First batch was thin.
Chewy,nice chocolate-coffee flavors
with a touch of vanilla.
I`ve made 4 batch`s of this and found
that this last batch from 1-2-14 has hit
it`s peak after 4 months.
The longer it ages the better it gets.
Batch 3 and 4 I made this year (2014)
Jan. and April.I`ve got it dialed in
at 5.70 ABV and recipe is solid at 70%
efficiency.If you try this recipe I hope
you have good luck with it.The rum and vanilla beans are what make this standout
for the final taste and richness.I would
recommend to age at least 2 months.
Great Holiday brew - enjoy-

Notes: I don't have the patience to wait several years for a proper sour, so I use the technique described here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=351918. This sours the mash prior to boiling and then the boil kills off the Lacto and it's fermented with a clean yeast. |
