i can design the crap out of "golden beers" (blondes, IPAs, pales, SMaSH, etc) but never had my hand at trying a stout or porter before.. brewed them? yes, but never designed one.
so based off of a stout i've loved, this is the description on the site.
------------Black as the darkest night, rich as the most decadent dessert, Terminator is for the true stout lover. This is a full bodied and flavor packed ale which draws its robust complexity from kiln-baked specialty grains. Look for a wide array of toasted, chocolate, nutty and coffee-like flavors in every pint! The devoted swear by it, and it remains one of our top selling ales year after year.
Malts: Premium 2-row Malt, Munich Malt, 40L Crystal, Black Barley
Hops: Chinook, Cascades
Original Gravity: 1.065
Terminal Gravity: 1.015
--------------------------
so i've came up with this for a 3 gallon batch.
3.6lb 2row
1.6lb Munich
.7lb crystal 40l
.7lb black barley
should put it at 1.065 for me (i get normally in the 80s with my beers)
then for the hops i put it at 35 IBUs with chinook @60 and cascade @30.
this should put me right inline with theirs (1.015FG as well) and mash around 155-156.
Sound good??
Also, i'm wanting to put quite a bit of vanilla in this along with cacao nibs.
so in secondary
5-6 vanilla beans, cut in half and innards scraped, all tossed into some dark spiced rum overnight.
8oz of cacao nibs.
Something along the lines of an americanized version of Aphrodite.
