Of course you can't actually critique a beer without tasting it here's the recipe anyway let me know what you guys thing. This is in the primary right now so if you have any suggestions as to another means to get the secondary flavor in there or if you think the recipe won't work whatever. It's a recipe for an Irish Stout with some toffee flavor thrown into the secondary.
Laz's Irish English Toffee Stout
Ingredients
7 lbs. Amber Liquid Extract
0.5 lbs. Black Malt
0.5 lbs. 120-L Crystal Malt
0.25 lbs. Roasted Barley
2 oz. Fuggles for 60 min.
1 oz . Willamette for 10 min.
1 tsp. gypsum (if needed for pH)
5 gal. water
1.5 tsp. Irish moss
White Labs Irish Ale WLP004
1 lb. Heath Bar Toffee ground up as fine as you can get it this is to be added to the secondary fermenter after one week in primary.
Brew Process
Brewed on 10/23/2005
Mash grain in 1 gal. water at 150-155 degrees for 1 hour
Sparge with 170 degree water
Add wort to brew pot and heat to 212 degrees
When wort temp. is at 212 degrees add malt extract, molasses, and Fuggles
At fifteen minutes to go in boil (1 hour boiling time) add the Irish Moss and Willamette.
Cool the wort and pitch the yeast. I pitched at 66 degrees low so Im probably looking at a slow start chilled my wort a bit much.
Fermentation
Original Gravity
Hydrometer reading was 1.060 Original Gravity is 1.061 corrected for temperature. The final gravity for this should be around 1.021.
