Hello all! First post, been lurking for a month or so, finally sat down and registered. I'm getting ready for my first brew in a week or so! I formulated my recipe, and punched it into BeerSmith last night. Here is what I've got:
Berried Alive - Blackberry Stout
Type: Extract
Date: 10/8/2010
Batch Size: 5.00 gal
Ingredients
Amount Item Type % or IBU
1.00 lb Dark Dry Extract (17.5 SRM) Dry Extract 8.68 %
7.00 lb Light Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 60.79 %
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 8.68 %
6oz Black (Patent) Malt (500.0 SRM) Grain 3.30 %
6oz Black Barley (Stout) (500.0 SRM) Grain 3.30 %
6oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 3.26 %
2.00 oz Amarillo [8.50 %] (55 min)
1.50 oz Fuggles [4.50 %] (25 min)
0.50 oz Fuggles [4.50 %] (0 min) (Aroma Hop-Steep)
1.00 tsp Yeast Nutrient
6oz Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (Bottling) Sugar 3.30 %
5.00 gal Crystal Geyser Spring Water Water
1 Pkgs London Ale III (Wyeast Labs #1318) Yeast-Ale
Beer Profile
Est Original Gravity: 1.074 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.019 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 7.15 %
Bitterness: 49.1 IBU Calories: 437 cal/pint
Questions: I want to add 4 lbs of Blackberries to this. Should these go in at
primary fermentation, or wait until secondary? Also, should I steep a half pound of Cara-pils for added body? Other than that, how does everything seem to add up? Looking forward to being active in the community, and I appreciate any feedback I get!
