I'm thinking about brewing a beer next week, and I've been on a dark beer/stout kick lately, so another stout it is! I know there is plenty of advice on using chocolate and fruit in beers, so here's what I've got:
5 gallons (partial mash)
OG: 1.069
IBUs: 27
SRM: 39
4.00 lb Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract 36.36 %
4.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 36.36 %
1.00 lb Barley, Flaked (1.7 SRM) Grain 9.09 %
0.50 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 4.55 %
0.50 lb Special B Malt (120.0 SRM) Grain 4.55 %
0.50 lb Roasted Barley (500.0 SRM) Grain 4.55 %
0.50 lb Carafa I (337.0 SRM) Grain 4.55 %
1.00 oz Magnum [12.00 %] (60 min) Hops 27.2 IBU
2.00 lb Raspberry Puree (Secondary 14.0 days) Misc
8.00 oz Cacao Nibs (Secondary 14.0 days) Misc
1 Pkgs SafAle American Ale (DCL Yeast #US-05) Yeast-Ale
I'll soak the cacao nibs in just enough vodka to cover it so they will be sanitized, not sure how much vodka this will be, but I can do it in batches if necessary to keep it down to a minimum.
Any thoughts?
