With 2 pounds of chocolate and 2 pounds of crystal, you might have plenty of body without having to mash so high. Put the recipe into hopville to see what the estimated FG will be? I've never added brown sugar directly to a beer. It will contribute some molasses flavor I think. With a beer...

Very nice! Shooting for some similar to the barrel aged B.O.R.I.S? That should turn out nice. I can't decide how much chocolate to put in this one. Brewing this with/for a friend and we tasted 6 Oatmeal Stouts yesterday. We decided we didn't want the chocolate flavor to be dominate. I like...

Funny, I posted today about a RIOS also. Check it out if you can.

Brewed the recipe above this weekend. Ended up splitting the batch into two buckets for primary. Used a White Labs 570 yeast in 5 gallons, and the Wyeast 1214 yeast in the other 5 gallons. Been bubbling away in a 70 degree water bath!

OK, modified the recipe. I think I'll give the Turbinado sugar a try this time. I'm still thinking about how I want to add it. I'm contemplating letting the beer ferment for about 3-4 days and then adding the sugar. I've read here and several other places that the yeast perform better that...

Sorry. Plan for a mash in at 130 F for 10 min, then slowly add heat up to 150 F for 75 min. I mash in a SS kettle, so I usually stir and add heat every 20 min or so. Target range is 147 - 150. I'll probably have to use a water bath to control fermentation temps. Going to let it start at 65 F...

So this will be my first true AG Belgian Triple. I did a partial mash clone of Delirium Tremens about a year and a half ago that turned out great. Now I want to make a very tasty Triple from scratch :). I put a tiny bit of flavor malts in this, but kept it simple for the most part. 10...
