So I took my brewery with me to Thanksgiving so I could teach my brother and some friends to brew. They decided after I got there they didn't want a stout anymore. So I didn't have my computer with me and I couldn't build a new recipe on the spot, so I just had to wing it. Here's what I had on hand:
10 gal attempt (turned out to be just over 8 since I didn't have my computer and spilt almost a gallon out of the spigot before I realized it was open) I also didn't have a scale so had to eye it:
8ish pounds of 2-row,
7-7.5ish pounds of pilsner
Around 1/2lb of chocolate
1+lb of carapils
1oz EKG 60mins
1oz First Gold 30mins
1package of nottingham split between the two.
I left the beer with my friends and brothers fermenters, so I'll get to taste it on Christmas. I guess it's kind of an english brown, but no crystal and the pilsener/american 2-row leave me hanging. We hit 1.050, so it's gonna be beer, and it smelled good.
Anyone ever just thrown a beer together like that before? No scales, guessing on water amounts? I know I won't be able to recreate it, but I bet it's gonna be good! Mashed around 153, so should have a little body.
