Do they make a white coffee bean? Also maybe roast some actual nuts and add them to a pale ale to get some roast and nut character?

This is an old thread but still popped up on my new posts tab... Last month's issue of BeerAdvocate Magazine had an article on White Stouts, written by Drew Beechum. He talks about how Stout originally meant strong and that u don't need that dark coloring to make it work. If anyone is still interested in the recipe its....

14lb Marris Otter
1 lb flaked oats
1 lb flaked barley
0.5 lb crystal 40L

Single Infusion Mash - 154 degrees for 60 minutes

Your then given the option for a "Mocha" flavoring addition , or just a full hops version. Full hops recipe uses 1 oz of Magnum (14%) for 60 minutes and 1 oz Crystal (3.5%) for ten minutes. If ur going with the Mocha, use only a half oz of Magnum and leave out the Crystal and then add 3 oz cacao extract (2 oz cacao nibs soacked in 6 oz vodka for 4 days, freezed and had the fat cap removed) and 1 pint of cold brewed coffee extract (1 cup ground coffee soaked overnight in 3 cups water).

Yeast he recommends Wyeast 1318 London Ale III


I think this looks like a pretty interesting and simple recipe and im thinking of giving it a go in a few months.

Just read an article in Beer Advocate about "White Stouts". Issue #70 I believe.

The article was pretty interesting. In summary they said the original meaning of stout was "strong" and that has been lost over the years since most people associate stout with blackness, coffee, and chocolate.

It also said there are two approaches, either a strong, full bodied IPA or a pale stout featuring something like cacao and licorice to make it taste more like a true stout.

Here is the recipe they recommended (note the first hop amount will yield a more IPA like beer, the second will yield a more traditional bitterness):

Reclamation White/Mocha Stout
5.5 gallons at 1.078 OG, 57/30 IBUs

14 lb Maris Otter
1 lb Flaked Oats
1 lb Flaked Barley
0.5 lb Crystal 40L

Mash at 154 for 60 minutes

1.0/0.5 oz Magnum 14% AA at 60 minutes
1.0/0 oz Crystal 3.5% AA at 10 minutes

For the mocha version:
3 oz cacao extract or 2oz cacao nibs soaked in 6 oz vodka for 4 days, strain, freeze, and remove fat cap

1 pint cold-brewed coffee extract or 1 cup ground coffee soaked overnight in 3 cups water

Enjoy!

Guys, obviously talking about historical stouts wasn't the purpose of this thread. As stated above, "stout" originally meant a stronger beer. In current terms, this is no longer the case. What I was originally asking about was if it was possible to get the roasted, chocolate flavors found in stouts and porters without the color they typically add.

I think we've all made a "pale stout" if you go off the original meaning of the term. I wanted to make something akin to a White Guinness. With that in mind, does anyone know if it's possible to get a hold of some of the husks for carafa? I know the DEhusked Carafa will give color without bitterness/astringency, what i want is the opposite. I want the bitterness and astringency without the color. I figure mashing the husks will give me that. Any ideas?

I don't believe the husk has any sort of nutrtional or flavor value... the sugar/starches are all inside where the husk covers that part.
