I'm going to brew up my first non kit stout this weekend. I cobbled the recipie together after checking out a bunch of em in the stout section here.
I'm not shooting for a clone of anything, just a relatively simple, low gravity, dry stout.
Heres the recipie. Let me know if I'm off base anywhere.
Malt Extract:
6 lbs Pale LME
Steeping Grains (steeped at 155 for 30 minutes in 2 gals, sparged with 1 gal)
1 lb Roasted Barley
8 oz Flaked Barley
10 oz Crystal 60L
Hops:
2.5 oz EK Goldings @ 60
.5 oz EK Goldings @ 15
Yeast:
Thinking White Labs Irish Ale Yeast (if I get to the LHBS today to get a starter going)
OR
US-05 (If I dont get there till Saturday)
3 week primary, 3 week bottle conditioning.
Where did I screw up?
Where can I tweak to make this a better beer?
