WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

This is a complex beer and takes time, plan ahead for best results.
Tastes much like a chocolate pecan, quite tasty!

  • 2lbs. Clover infused honey/w 3c. roasted pecans 5-10 min.
    *Note - Pecans have a TON of oils that must be removed or it will suppress the head on the beer. Start whatever process you use early on before even thinking about the brew process. Many thanks to Gabriella and Carlos at Omnipollo Brewery Stockholm, for their pointers. Or add 1 tsp APEX extract to an empty 5 gallon keg and racked on top of it

    Allow your steeping malts and 1/2 of the infused honey pecans to soak in 1 gallon of heated spring water for 30 minutes. Do not to exceed 170° F. Rinse with 1 gal 165° spring water.

    Strain the flavoring malts and pecans or take out the grain bag, and add the rest of your water to the kettle, bring to a boil and add bittering hops and malts and add 1/4 of remaining pecans. At flame out add the rest of the pecans.

    **Actual ABV is a bit less but the calculator sees the honey infused pecans as fermentable.
