A friendly place for friends who drink

[Gavin C]

Hey buddy.. so what I have, I didn't think seemed too far off from this. I don't really care about guidelines (I understand what you're getting at though, no offense) I just want something I will like. Since I don't like sweet & malty, I was really hoping for dry/coffee/chocolate anything fitting that. Big body or thin, don't care. Anyway.. according to brewersfriend, I'm pretty close to the Dry Stout.

1.060 OG
36.5 SRM
33 IBU

Absolutely planned on mashing at 152, have the yeast covered and with keezer I guess I can definitely keep a solid ferment temp now.

If you're targeting 1.06 OG disregard the percentages I gave you as you will get sweet and malty.

I think 1.06 is too buku for a dry stout. Style guides aside, it just won't finish as dry as you want without adding sugar and that's not something I would entertain in a stout.

So you think it is waaay off from what I was looking for? Damn.. now I'm confused. Maybe I will just stop and grab stuff for a mosaic smash to get on tap. If things go as usual, even with the recipe I have... with 1.060 target, I'll likely end up around 1.055 for some reason. That just seems to be my magic number with my setup.

If you don't care about style guidelines and go in with your eyes open, then brew it! Worst case is it won't live up to your hopes and expectations, but you could learn from it for the future. We've all had batches like that.

Coffee while home with a sick baby. Maybe I'll troll y'all for 20k since I'm not in the bottle swap.

ftfy, this is SADJockey we're talking about here after all.

I didn't look at your original numbers very carefully but just gave you what I would build around. Sorry.

I'm not very adept at recipe formulation, something I only really started toying with this past summer so I wouldn't want to cast my novice's shadow over your plans.

Someone with more stout know-how will probably tell you I'm talking sh1te. @Qhrumphf would probably be a good man to brain-pick.

CAD, just brew a glorious DEM.

No problem, I appreciate all the input but it all seems to be somewhat different. Think I'll just keep the recipe as it is, and leave the sugar out. I've got the ingredients and have for a while, it's no real loss at this point. Unless the grain is funked since it has sat for month or two. Just gonna do it. It's practice at worst.

iso. Looks awesome. Recipe?

Heres what I did. I really think tossing +12 brett strains into it is what made it so hazy and full bodied. It also somehow scrubbed out ALL the bitterness from the hops. I thought it was my palate being stupid. But Ive given it to everyone from the brewery near me to SWMBOs mother and none of them thought it was an IPA

5.5gal
50/50 blend of Yeast Bay Amalgamation & Omega Yeast All the Bretts

8lb 2 row
2lb wheat
2lb flaked wheat
6oz acid malt
4oz golden naked oats
1lb cane sugar

@30min: 1oz apollo
@15min: 1oz hallertau blanc / 1 oz belma
@0min: 4oz hallertau blanc / 2oz belma / 2oz citra
@30min into hopstand: 2 oz citra / 3 oz azzaca
@dry: 1 oz azzaca / 1 oz belma
@dry2: 3 oz hallertau blanc

Do a mosaic smash with the midnight wheat

Can't wait to brew mine. The grains are just sitting in my garage begging to be mashed. Going to wait until after Easter though.

 

[iijakii]

Wow that's far off.

 

[Zekk]

I have a RIS taking up my ferment or currently. And my sons first birthday is coming up.

 

[SupervisingChildren]

Almost time for lunch. This day has been pretty damn busy so far. I need to check on my recent ipa later and maybe dry hop it tonight.

So you should be ready with a sip of DEM for him to ring in year 2.

Must...stay...vigilant...

Hey, do you guys think it would be a good idea to make sure we all write our username on the bottles for the contest? Im guessing its gonna be pretty hard to keep track of them all and your favorites

 

[Hello]

I'm confused why you're saying it won't finish dry. Or did I miss a specific out there that was mentioned. If @thecadjockey mashes at 148 - 150 (I prefer 150) and uses the right yeast, won't he get a dry stout without the sugar?

My bottles will be universally known

Might be a good idea to label the bottles somehow if they are homebrew.

What do you do for work Q?

About 4 more weeks and it's going to secondary with oak chips and whiskey. Then it's DEM time

 

[geoffey]

I think labeling bottles or a box with username would be helpful. Will be easy to lose track of who's who.

Wow, just thought about having to leave 31 iTrader feedbacks...

I want to guess he's part of the lobby group that wants to reunite the colonies under the UK.
