So, I've been wanting to try something WEIRD because I have never done anything really WEIRD yet. But I am not trying to make hooch. So I figure why not let's throw together an honest-to-goodness real recipe, and see how far I can bend the rules and still make a drinkable beer.
I give you...
Dr. Pepper Stout
33% Dr. Pepper in the brewing liquor, and primed with ... you guessed it!
Dr. Pepper Stout (3 gal)
3.25# Maris Otter
8oz Crystal 40
8oz Roasted Barley
4oz Flaked Oats
4oz Flaked Wheat
Mash 158*F.
0.5oz Magnum 60
0.5oz EKG 10
1pkg SafAle S-04 Whitbread
2x 2L of Dr. Pepper and 2 gal of RO water, topped to 3 gal with RO at the end of the boil. I'll prime with 16oz of Dr. Pepper which should give me 2.2 volumes of CO2 and bottle in Dr. Pepper bottles.
Est. OG 1.055, 40 IBUs.
