After making up a batch of Brandon O's delicious Graff, I'd like to make an attempt at my own version. This will be based off the fictitious drink from Stephen King's Dark Tower books, rather then just being named after it.
I haven't personally read the books, but many of my friends have, and my band has a few songs about them. One of my friends told me "...in the town of River Crossing they serve 'a good strong graff' to the gunsliger and company with the last real meal they eat before a long journey through the Wastelands." This makes me think it's fairly alcoholic and robust.
I've never made a stout of any kind before, so please constructively critique my recipe. This will be an extract batch w/ steeping grains as I'm still pretty new to things. Also - I have no idea what kind of yeast I should be using.
2.5 Gal Apple Juice
3 Gal Boil:
3.3 lbs Dark LME
3/4 lb Black Patent
1 lb 120L Crystal
2 oz Tort. Wheat
1/2 lb Roasted Barley
1.5 oz 7-9 AA% hops @ 60
1 oz 7-9 AA% hops @20
Thoughts??
