I know the chances of me ever making it out for Dark Lord day are slim to none, so I have been wanting to try making a clone.
This is what I have so far. I think I am going to do a batch of oatmeal stout first, and then I thought I would rack this onto the yeast cake. I found a recipe on line and have modified it slightly.
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: nottingham yeast cake
Yeast Starter: no
Batch Size (Gallons): 2.5
Predicted Original Gravity: 1.127
Original Gravity:
Predicted Final Gravity: 1.043
Final Gravity:
Predicted ABV: 13
IBU: 100
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 53
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14days @ 65F
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 14days @ 65F
11.75# Pale malt
1# Crystal 120
0.5# Roasted Barley (350l)
0.5# Chocolate (330l)
0.5# Special B
0.5# Barley Flakes
1# Treacle
1# Honey
1 cup Tim Hortons Coffee Grinds
1 tsp Irish Moss
1 vanilla bean (secondary)
2oz Zeus (Columbus) hops at 60 min
.5 oz Cascade hop at 15 min
nottingham yeast
Single infusion mash at 154F for 60 min.
Add Treacle, Honey, Cascade hops & Irish moss for last 15 minutes.
At flame out add Coffee grounds & steep for 15 minutes.
Rack onto vanilla bean in Secondary
I have never tried making a beer this big (or expensive!). Any Suggestions?
