my personal take/ twist on Brooklyn's Double Choc Stout... calling it No Sleep til Brooklyn Stout - love me some Beastie Boys. Note: Vienna is not in their recipe, but I love to cut back crystal and up Vienna (personal preference). also, using a Carafa or debittered black instead of Roast...

I'll brew it this coming weekend... 90+ degree weather won't stop me from drinking this! Resto3 With an FG of 1.022 I wouldn't mash at 148. If there is plenty of healthy yeast and oxygen you'll end up with a dryish Imperial Stout, just my 2 cents. I plan to mash at 152 for 90 minutes (to...

sorry to revive a very old thread, but I love this beer and am about to brew my own similar version... previous poster - that isn't the recipe, looking at their website and list of ingredients... http://brooklynbrewery.com/brooklyn-beers/seasonal-brews/brooklyn-black-chocolate-stout IBU...

About to brew this... Looks fantastic and figured I'd revive the dead - getting cold, time for stout! I have an Oat Stout house beer I brew that I love, but I've been dying to try toasted/roasted oats, plus I think the Carafa will make this drinkable quicker! I'm probably going to use 2...

If it ends up tasty, may your wild strain live on! May need some yeast distribution! "HBT Wild Ale Yeast"

Absolutely. OP, was the mango sanitized or added to boil kettle? or added after racking?

Brewed my own modified version of this last fall and still have some left (fortunately!)...aging away. I upped the recipe a bit and the yeast crapped out right at 12%! :tank: I pitched the wort onto a 1762 cake that I used on a dark small beer (that also gave me an opportunity to get a...

Afternoon sun is almost definitely the cause and not the newspaper - I would guess. I have 2 cascades in 15 gallon buckets, that I've had for about 2 years now. They do best with morning sun only and of course they like the water and fertilizer. I think honestly an area with morning sun...

Without a doubt (or a very small one) Lactobacillus! How sour do you want it? Keg or bottle/carb then refrigerate asap if you like it the way it is. OR if you want to experiment a bit let it ride a few weeks and if its a brown ale of some sort you could end up with a piece of history. What...

Personally, I'd split the difference in dark malt between chocolate and debittered black or Carafa. Using chocolate alone will still be tasty though - just don't overdo it.

Very interesting and tasty looking brew... I'm looking to do something similar, but shooting for a very high abv of around 14-15% (parti gyle off first runnings). I'm also not a huge fan of the belgian yeast flavor, but I think I could manage some of the cleaner fermenting ones such as...

orange, change your name to orangedoo. That is more accurate, lol. Looking forward to tasting it too! :mug: Looks like my brew queue just got longer.

I am overloaded on Cascade (pellets) and could use some trading. They are '08's, but came in high in AA. I think over 7, have to look when I get home. They have been frozen and vacuum packed sitting in my freezer.

it has a small leak and you're asking $70 plus shipping? I'd suggest fix the leak and lower the price, or just cut the price in half.

booya! thanks for the replies guys... time to brew away with them.

So I bought UK Fuggles and received US... Are they that much different? All I've been able to find online is the US Fuggles have less aroma, but still similar. Woody, fruity, spicy? less more? thoughts /experience appreciated!

I've brewed with UK Fuggles, but never US... I received US Fuggles in a group hop buy snafu, ordered UK, but either the guy ordering ordered the wrong one or hopsdirect shipped the wrong one. That aside, I may keep them and brew with them.. Can someone who's tried both give me their...

Parti gyled this one! I had been looking forward to using my new barley crusher and especially brewing this recipe - I've become a Simcoe addict. I also really liked Old Guardian - Stone's Barleywine release. I found out it had some Simcoe in it, so.... I mastered up a plan to parti gyle a...

homebrewer_99, Which AJ did you use in that recipe? Did you add any pectic enzyme or yeast nutrient? I'm amazed it fermented and cleared so quickly! I'm going to have to try 3068 now on my next batch!
