I've brewed this stout recipe a few times before without any flavor additions and it's a very good base beer. I want to make something like Hill Farmstead's Daybreak but I'm not trying to clone it.
Batch size : 5 gallons
Target OG : 1.090
Target FG: 1.021
ABV : 9.26
IBU : 59.6
SRM : 41.8
Grain:
13.5lb 2 Row (78.3%)
1lb Chocolate malt (5.8%)
1lb Oats, Flaked (5.8%)
8oz Black (Patent) malt (2.9%)
4oz Roasted Barley (1.4%)
4oz Crystal 120 (1.4%)
Hops:
1oz Nugget @ 60 min (32.8 IBU)
1oz Mt. Hood @ 30 min (11.6 IBU)
1oz Centennial @ 20 min (15.3 IBU)
Misc:
1.5tsp yeast nutrient @ 10 min
1oz sweet orange peel @ 5 min
.50oz bitter orange peel @ 5 min
Yeast:
2 packs US05
Secondary additions:
2.5oz medium toast oak cubes soaked in 5oz orange brandy.
2oz cocoa nibs
So what do you think? Do I need the peel AND the orange brandy? Is 2oz of cocoa nibs going to come through?
I made the orange brandy by peeling 4 Valencia oranges and steeping them in 500ml of Brandy for a week then running the liquid through coffee filters to remove the oils. The orange brandy is probably going to make some really good cocktails by the way.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
