Anyone made Jamil's Reprobate Stout??

[acsempronio]

I have this in the fermenter right now. I made the following changes:

.5 lb Simpsons Black
.5 lb Simpsons Chocolate

because I had both on hand.

1 oz Willamette 4.9% pellets for 30 min.

With a mini-mash of the grains, I ended up with 5.5+ gallons of OG 1.091.
There was about 1/4 gallon of blowoff loss. I'm going with some Fermcap-S next time.

On a happier note, I was able to cool the 4 gallon boil from boiling to 80F in 20 minutes in only an ice bath.

This is still one my favorite beers that I have made.

I'm looking to brew this soon, but i've got a couple of hop substitution questions. I don't have horizon, could I bitter with willamette and adjust the IBUs? I also have a lot of northern brewer and EKG, but I wanted to keep the hops american. also, my centennial is pretty old. would citra be too bold for aroma for this??
thanks

Hoping to revive this thread.

I'm about to finish off my first keg of this and it's just lovely. Even so, I'm thinking of altering the recipe a touch to bring it more in line with my idea of an American stout. The original recipe produces a damn fine beer but a bit too malty and not quite hop forward enough to fit my expectations of an American stout. Next time I brew this I'm probably going to do a 1 ounce Centennial addition at 20 minutes and perhaps even drop the roasted barley to 12 ounces.

Anyone tweaked this recipe or have any thought on my ideas?
