So the last 3 batches I've done have all been IPAs/pales. Wanna do something different this time. Planning on brewing up a nice stout and fermenting with hefe yeast. Spiteful Brewing in Chicago does a beer like this and it sounds interesting (I haven't actually tried it, but hear good things). Here's what I've got so far for the grain bill. 3 gallon batch. Suggestions are appreciated :
5 lbs Golden Promise
2 lbs White Wheat
.75 lb Chocolate Rye
.5 lb Flaked Oats
.25 lb Biscuit
.25 lb Midnight Wheat
.25 lb Roasted Barley
Single infusion right around 155 for an hour.
Got a few ounces of Chinook left over so I plan on using those to hit 30-40 IBU
WY3068. Ferment slightly warm, around 68-70, to get more banana character than clove.
I'm wondering if I should drop the Biscuit malt and replace it with more chocolate, maybe dark chocolate malt.. I'm thinking chocolate needs to be fairly prominent in this one.. Let me know what you think!
And of course, since this is a chocolate banana stout recipe...
