Notes: Add the Cacoa nibs to the secondary and give it 2 weeks in the secondary
Bottled 1/2 then added Brewers Best Peanut butter flavoring to make a chocolate PB stout.
This is the best milk stout that I have ever tasted. Both the Chocolate and the Chocolate & Peanut Butter versions were loved by all that enjoy a good Porter/Stout. Could have improved the PB version with a little less Peanut Butter flavor (will only add 4 ounces/5 gallons in any future batches)
I had to take this one out of the rotation - only because I am lactose intolerant and even if I take a lactose digestive supplement i can't drink more than one without having issues. |

Notes: This brew has taken me ages to replicate. Tried multiple versions. Don't bother with a partial mash or extract. They discolor the beer and take away from the crispness of the all grain version. Brewed this 3 times now and pretty much always have it on draft. Everyone's favorite, every time.
Belgian Candi sugar should be a late addition (15 min remaining) and OJ should added at flameout.
Best to use fresh nutmeg and coriander if you can find them. I buy them whole and then crush them with a rolling pin just before adding to the boil.
Ferment for 14 days at a constant 70 degrees if possible.
Cold crash for 3 days then rack to keg, and force carb at 2.2 volumes
If you want the traditional cloudiness of a wit to drop out, add gelatin before crashing. |

Notes: ==Pumpkin:==
Bake pumpkin on a cookie sheet and bake until it browns on top a bit (20-30 minutes). Put in a steeping bag and add it to the boil @40min left.
==All Spices:==
After primary fermentation and a few days before bottling or kegging, make a small tea with the spices and dump them in.
==8/30/2013==
- Subs: WLP005 British Ale. 1 vial, no starter.
- BHE: 72%
- OG: 1.072 (hydro).
- I put the pumpkin in right at 60min. Also drizzled some maple syrup on top of the pumpkin b4 baking.
- 9/15/2013 (16 days) - FG: 1.027. Going to remove from 68º and let it sit at 70-72º to let the yeast clean & finish. Hydro tasting was good, but maybe a little too much hop bitterness? I also feel like it's a little esthery and I get some yeast fruitiness. Not bad, but noticeable. If it doesn't get to 1.024 I guess I learned my lesson about skipping starters. VERY excellent color and clarity! Next time I might dial back the C40 by 1/2 a lb (from 1.5lbs). Tossing extracted vanilla bean in.
- Result: Very very solid. Adjusting the mash temp from 158º to 154º to try and bring the sweetness down a tad and dry it out a bit. Also brought 1.5lbs of C40 down to 1.2lbs. If it's still too sweet next time, consider removing the vanilla bean.
===10/27/2013===
- OG: 1.070 (refracto) hmm. Brewhouse Efficiency calc said like 65% but this recipe at 71% says 1.07 OG which is what I got soooo wtf.
- First time doing batch sparging.
- Used a massive fine mesh bag for both the pumpkin and the hops. Not sure how this will effect the finished product. It was nice to not have to worry about all that pumpkin though!
- FG: 1.2
- Tasting notes: Batch #1 was WAY better than this batch. Notes for next time: WLP005 is the better yeast. Way less estery. As for the spices, 2 tsp is perfect. Just dump that tea straight in there (don't try to filter it.) For the pumpkin, muslin bags WIN. Don't try to do more complex filtering (nylon bag.)
---
===11/2/2014===
- My efficiency has been sucking, so I bumped up the two row 1lb (to 12lbs).
- Put the pumpkin in 2 mouslin bags. Great way to work with it. It decreases in size by about half towards end of the boil.
- Baked the pumpkin as usual and drizzled some maple syrup on the top.
- Pre-ferm yield: 5.5gal OG: 1.076 (hydro)
- Pitched 1 vial of 005 with no starter. :-(
- Tasting notes: ended up pretty thick, sweet, and a muddy orange color. Lowering the specialty grains to from 1.2lb C40, 1.5 Victory, 1.5 Wheat to 1lb each. Lowering the 60oz pumpkin to 30oz. |

IBU: 40
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 16
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 30
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 7
Tasting Notes: Rich malty caramel balance beautifully with fragrant clementine-like hop aroma.
*Candi syrup added with 15 minutes left in boil. Use the dark amber recipe in this thread:
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=114837
But only make a half batch (use one pound of sugar). Add the entire batch to the boil. This stuff is super easy to make and imperative to the recipe. The syrup it makes has a smooth decadent caramel flavor that is deeply rich and complex. The flavor and aroma make it through to the final beer and blend with the malt and hops to make a spectacular beer.
The procedure for making the syrups starts with 2 lbs of sugar, a varied amount of Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP Yeast Nutrient), and 1 cup of water. You bring these three ingredients to a boil over medium heat. You do not want to stir, the gentle convections will do all the mixing that is necessary. Using a thermometer, stop the boil at the desired terminal temperature by adding a varied amount of water while gently stirring the solution. This is the dangerous part, a fair amount of spitting and sputtering might occur. After adding the water you will need to dissolve the syrup by stirring gently until the solution reaches the stage called soft ball (240F). This is when the syrup is done. Stop the cooking by submerging the pan in cool water or by transferring the syrup to a preheated mason jar.
Deep Amber (290F)
-Deep amber with full red colors. Raisins and plums are the dominant flavors with a hint of toast and coffee. Some rummy and mildly woody flavors. Strong complex caramels are present. It is a sophisticated sweetness with a robust, full characteristic. This is my favorite.
2 Lbs Sugar
1 Cup Water
2 – 1/2 tsp DAP
1 – 1/2 Cup Water
Below is an alternative syrup.
Sugar #5
This is a double cooked sugar that further increases the flavors of 290F without compromising the complex caramels. Think of this sugar as an extension of the 290F recipe. Everything about it is intensified. The procedure is a bit more complicated and it takes nearly an hour to complete, but it is worth the time and effort.
Over medium heat bring to a boil
2 Lbs Sugar
1 Cup Water
3 tsp DAP
Raise this to the terminal temperature of 290F. At 290F begin stirring and add in:
1 Cup Water
Continue stirring until the sugars are dissolved. Again, bring the solution up to 290F over medium heat. At 290F begin stirring and add in:
1 Cup of Water
Stir this until the sugars are dissolved and the temperature starts to rise a couple degrees. This Should be right at or just above soft ball (240F). This is when the syrup is done. Stop the cooking by submerging the pan in cool water or by transferring the syrup to a preheated mason jar. |

Notes: Asked for .6# of TF peat smoked malt instead of .06#... so now it's a smoked peat scotch ale! This is pushing the limit on this smoked malt so hopefully a lot of smoke is all I get. Doesn't smell or taste bad from the boil so hopefully that's the case after it ferments.
Brewed 28FEB2017
Gravity 08APR2017 was 1.022, attenuation adjusted
Update 19AUG2017
This beer actually came out pretty darn good. Sweet, smokey, but I personally don't find it overpowering. I think it will age well. |

Notes: This is the second of 2 experiments on base malts. Yes its not what you'd expect for a malt experiment, high IBU and some pretty flavor tweaking special malts. But I dont really care what the base malts 'taste like by themselves' as much as how they taste in my favorite brews, IPA's :) All ingredients are kept common except the main malt bill. American Rahr 2 row, Experiment 2 will be German Munich Malt. There was supposed to be an Experiment 3 with English Maris Otter but I used the malt mix to create double bypass, a Bells 2 Hearted clone-ish. Ill report back after making and tasting all of them.
Kegged 9/20, Delicious, great malt flavor, hoppy but not over the top. The cascade dry hop for 3 weeks added a nice touch!
So far of Munich, Rahr 2row and Maris Otter gotta say Munich is coming out on top. Ill set up a proper tasting and report back shortly.
Cheers, Jim http://jimsbrews.blogspot.com/ |
