- Trying to pay homage to the Sonoran White Chocolate Ale
Grains:
5.50 lbs Begian Pilsner 2-Row (2.0 SRM)
2.00 lbs White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM)
0.50 lbs Flaked Wheat (1.6 SRM)
0.25 lbs Honey Malt (25 SRM)
Mash at 150ºf for 75 minutes
Fly Sparge at 168º-170º
Boil (90 min):
.75 oz Tettnang (AA 4.5%) last 60 min of boil
.50 oz East Kent Goldings (AA 5%) last 10 min of boil
.25 oz Irish Moss (clarifying agent) last 10 min of boil
.25 oz Tettnang (AA 4.5%) last 5 min of boil
8.0 oz Cocoa Powder "Tea" (unsweetened) last 5 min of boil
Going to use Wyeast #1010 to avoid clove flavor. No starter.
Going for 4.0 SRM, 5% ABV (4.8% before adding the 8oz of liquor), 17.4 IBU
I plan to take 2 pints of hot wort out of the pot with about 10 minutes of boil let. I'll mix in the Cocoa Powder to this wort and dump it back in for the final 5 minutes. My hope is to relieve clumping issues with the powder.
Secondary:
For flavoring in the secondary, I'll split and soak three madigascar vanilla beans in 8 oz of creme de cocoa for a few hours and then dump the whole mixture into the secondary. Let sit for 2 weeks before doing a 3-day crash cool. Then keg.
