Hey all, here's another shameless 'is this gonna taste like beer?' post.
This will be my first attempt at an RIS. The recipe is loosely-based around Dark Truth Stout. I'm hoping for that glorious plum flavor that hides in my favorite stouts. Here goes:
15# Pale 2-Row
1# Roasted Barley
1# Special B
1# Flaked Oats
1# Golden Naked Oats
.5# Crystal 120L
.5# Rye
.25# Chocolate Malt
(Percentages - 70, 5, 5, 5, 5, 2.5, 2.5, 1)
@60 1oz Magnum
@15 1oz Zeus
@0 1oz Citra
@0 1oz Perle
White Labs Belgian Ale Yeast - 2L starter
OG 1.091
FG 1.015
SRM 35
IBU 60
Mash at 150F for 60mins - Sparge with 170F - collect 8gals of wort over 60mins
60min boil - cool to 65F - pitch - hold at 65F for two weeks then into secondary **I would love to have this one ready for Christmas but I bet I'm too late at this point. Has anyone experienced a big stout like this being ready serve in 8 or 9 weeks???
Cheers to all!!
