I picked up some ingrediants for a chocolate stout. I was planning on adding some oats, but picked up wheat instead. Oh well, no biggie, and read flaked wheat is great for head retenion. I will just be steeping it with the other grains. I know you are supposed to 'mash' with some 2-row, but I'm not worried about that. I just want a thicker mouth from it.
2.5 Gallon Batch
Recipe:
4 lbs light dme
.5 lbs roasted barley
.5 lbs chocolate malt
.5 lbs black patent
.5 lbs flaked wheat
.5lbs lactose
2 oz mt. hood- 1 oz at 60min, and 1 oz around 15min.
4-5 oz. dark cocao powder- 10 mins
Cocoa Nibs, vanilla bean for secondary.
S-05 yeast. I also have some yeast (s-05) that I took from my last IIPA thats in the fridge, I'm thinking of using that first to see if it takes off, and the packet of s-05 for backup.
Goal is a sweet chocolate creamy stout.
I just got word we'll be getting out early at 1 today, so looks like I'll brew this up after I bottle my IIPA today. Lets hope I dont lose powah!
