So basically, Im trying to put together a recipe to clone Furthermores Knot Stock. Ive done some research, but being somewhat of a novice to creating my own recipes, Id appreciate your comments, suggestions, etc. Ive read many older posts on several different forums, but all seem to have subsided...so lets revamp this BIOTCH!
Furthermore Knot Stock: http://www.furthermorebeer.com/our-beer/knot-stock/
Notes: APA, 5.5%, 65 IBUs, Northern Brewer hops, fresh cracked black pepper (boiled & cold infused?), healthy dose of caramel malt.
The Brewing Network podcast featuring Aran Madden (Head Brewer @ Futhermore): http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/The-Sunday-Session/The-Sunday-Session-06-01-08-Furthermore-Beer
Aran was somewhat tight-lipped when describing the recipe; however, he did give up a few tidbits
Notes: 40 barrels = 20lbs fresh cracked black pepper into fermenter (1.25oz/5GAL), lots of Caramel 40, and Northern Brewer front & back with Cascade in the middle
So what do I do with ALL of this information (or lack thereof)?
Not knowing much about creating my own recipes, I have started with Jamil Zainasheffs APA w/Caramel recipe (as suggested in another forum) basically just modifying it on paper...just trying to get the IBUs & ABV similar to that of the Knot Stock. Am I going about this right ? Does anybody have any tips, tricks, or experience with black pepper beers? Ever tried to clone Knot Stock?
This is my first post, so take it easy on me CHEERS!
