UPDATE: Award-winning beer! Details below.
After much research, and back-and-forth indecision, I settled on a recipe that is sort of a cross between a Foreign Extra Stout, and an American Stout. Trans-Atlantic, if you will. I was going for a sort of “grapefruit marmalade on toast” effect, and it came out really nice. The grapefruit effect is rather muted; I could add another ounce of Cascade at flameout next time, but it’s very good the way it is.
ETA: Google has just informed me that the name has been used before – several times in fact. Oh well.
9 lbs. 2-Row Pale
1 lb. Munich Malt 10L
2 lbs. Flaked Barley
12 oz. C120
12 oz. C60
8 oz. Crisp Roasted Barly 550L
8 oz. Briess Roasted Barley 300L
0.5 oz. Centennial 60 min.
0.5 oz. Centennial 30 min.
1.0 oz. Centennial 10 min.
1.0 oz. Cascade 5 min.
1 tsp. Yeast nutrient 10 min.
In my sample group testing, this stout scored very well among both hop heads and malt lovers. The 2# flaked gives it a nice body without being "chewy", as well as a dense creamy head. The roastiness is well established without being dusty or astringent. I am very happy with how it turned out.
Cheers!
