I'm making this to celebrate the End of the World (yes, that deserved to be capitalized) in December. I think aging it for ~6 months will be alright. It's my first big brew, coming in at 1.103 OG. Incidentally, I'm also inviting anyone in the area to come brew with me.
Recipe:
12 lbs. Munich
1.5 lbs. Flaked Oats
1.5 lbs. Chocolate Malt
1 lb. 6-Row
1 lb. Lactose
1 lb. Carafoam
1 lb. Carafa Special III
0.75 lbs. Roasted Barley
Salts to match Edinburgh water
Whirlfloc @ 15 Min
2 oz. Chinook @ 90 Min
Wyeast 1728 Scottish Ale Yeast
Protein Rest @ 122 F for 20 Min, Mash @ 153 F for 60 Min
90 minute boil
OG 1.103, FG 1.024, 10.6% ABV
I'm basing the spices roughly on what Google tells me the Mayans used. I'll make a paste and throw it in at flameout.
1 1/2 oz. Cocoa
1 Vanilla Bean
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Ancho Pepper
1/2 Guajillo Pepper
EDIT: Changed up to 1/2 tsp Cinnamon, added 1/2 oz. of sweet orange peel, and in place of the peppers which I couldn't find, I drizzled Agave syrup over two fresh jalapenos, broiled them for about 30 minutes, and then covered them in foil to steam them. De-stemmed, de-seeded, and ground up with everything else.
