Notes: OG was 25.9 brix, 1.106 SG.
Very active fermentation started within 12 hours.
Mulling spices were hand mixed: pepper, anise, allspice, nutmeg, orange peel, ginger, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon sticks. Everything was freshly ground except the ginger.
FG was only 1.050. Stuck fermentation suspected due to loss of a lot of Krausen and high concentration of not-easily-fermentable sugars.
No carbonation after 3 weeks of bottle conditioning. |

Notes: This is Tom Watson's (NewToHomebrew Tom) version of Mikkellas Breakfast Stout. I modified it a bit for a 2.5 gallon batch. Tom used Danstar Nottingham where I have a pack of British V I need to use. I also don't have Bohemian Pilsner - I have regular American Pilsner. I hope there is not a lot of difference.
Tom didn't provide his temps, but I think his first PID says 72 so that is 161.6 F for Strike. I expect Mash to be around 154 or so. It should be 170 for mash out, I BIAB, so no mash out.
And on brewday, my 4 gallon pot was taxed to the limit. It was so tight that I had to extend the mash a bit and I did NOT appear to hit my target mashing temps...they were maybe within 6 degrees? I wanted 154 and I got 148-149. I really, really need to recirculate the mash. I checked my preboil gravity at 15 minutes left to mash and I was at 1.070...I wanted 1.080, so I pulled the Sous Vide probe and basket out, and moved everything around a bit with a lid on for an extra 15 minutes. After everything. I still got 1.070. Post Boil got me 1.084 - Far Far Away...
If this is wrong anywhere, it will show up in hop utilization. I have to brew once and adjust. This is not linear, so it is an educated guess.
Tom's Numbers (for a 5 gallon batch) vs my starting place
Boil Centennial 50 gm -- 21 gm
Cascade 20 gm -- 6 gm
15M Centennial 48 gm -- 21 gm
Cascade 45 gm -- 20 gm
5 M Cascade 10 gm -- 5 gm
The predicted IBUs for Toms was ~90, I dropped my profile to near that. It was 11 points too high.
Tom's Final Gravity was 1.036 - 9%! I speculate that he topped out the alcohol tolerance on Notty...but it's still a great eater.
He cold crashed his after fermentation and then raised it to 68 for a couple of days for a Diacetyl rest. Then he prepared the coffee infusion the day before kegging.
Coffee prep (for 5 gallons!):
Boil 1 Liter of water, collect 500 ml in a sterile jar. Chill in fridge 2 hours. Add 70 gm of coffee...he used Taylor's of Harrigut Italian Roast and then french pressed it to remove the grounds - it also looked to be rather finely ground. He put the whole carafe in the fridge overnight. He added it to the beer, being careful to NOT splash and oxygenate his beer after spraying it with sanitizer. He added it by pouring it down the side wall of his fermenter.
My Coffee Prep (for 2.5 gallons):
I boiled enough water to collect 300-350 ml in the carafe. I sanitized the carafe before adding the water. The water temp was 125 degrees when I added the coffee. For my coffee, I used 2 K cups of Aspen Ridge Donut Shop coffee (a nice nutty flavored coffee - I tried several others but ultimately, I liked this coffee best). I opened the K cups and dropped the coffee in the carafe and put it in the fridge overnight. Next day, I sanitized a funnel with a piece of hose so I could trickle the coffee down the side of my fermenter, avoiding oxygenation. I then set the temp to 38 and closed it up after securing the top.
Tom doesn't publish this but from watching most of his brewing, it seems that he prefers "Burton on Trent" same as his buddy - Harrybrew69.
Kegged the next day. I will have to minikeg half of the batch and bottle the rest.
When tasting, this was astringent after 2 weeks. I was disappointed. However, after 4 months of conditioning, I can report that this beer is as good as Sam Smith Organic Chocolate Stout...so I am happy. I will be doing this one again as a 5 gallon batch. |

Notes: split wort, put 3 gal in one bucket (and dilute with 2.25gal of boiled water) in one and 5.25 gal in the other to make 5 finished gal of 4.5% stout and 5 finished gal of 8% Foreign export stout.
Take 3 gal and liquor-back with 2.25 gal water for a 4.5%
take 5.25 gal and make a 8%
Take this, but mash it hot (160F) dilute it as though to make 4.42-4.5% abv with lager yeast, take out the sugars, and pitch NOLA or LA-01 (maltos-negative yeast). to make an NA beer |
