Boil Size: 6.73 gal
Brewhouse Efficiency: 72.00 %
Alcohol by Vol: 6.2 %
Ingredients:
10 lbs 4.0 oz Pale Ale Malt (2 Row) UK (3.0 SRM) 70.7 %
1 lbs Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) 6.9 %
1 lbs Black Barley (Stout) (500.0 SRM) 6.9 %
1 lbs Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) 6.9 %
12.0 oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) 5.2 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) 3.4 %
1.00 oz Chinook [11.00 %] - First Wort 20.0 min 15.4 IBUs (or 45+ IBUs)
1.00 oz Horizon [11.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min 45.8 IBUs
Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05)
Single Infusion Mash 154 degrees for 80 min
I made this March 3 and it was a hit at Pascha (April 15), but it was better in June.
Technically, first wort hops have been shown to impart all the IBUs and more from a full boil. So, this should have over 90 IBUs, but it doesn't taste like that. I did use hop bags, which may have cut the utilization just a bit. Above, I counted the FWH as a 20 min addition for a total of 61 IBUs. To me, it seems well balanced.
Anyway, I really like this stout.
Edit: On the IBUs, I've since decided it is appropriate to estimate the actual IBUs rather than what some have said is the perceived bitterness and about which there is some debate. So, that would be 71 Tinseth and 96 Rager. I'm guessing Tinseth is more accurate here.
