7 lbs Dark DME
1/2 lb U.S. Crystal 20
1/2 lb U.K. Chocolate Malt
1/2 lb U.K. Roasted Barley
1/4 lb Hersheys Unsweetened Cocoa
1/2 lb Brown Sugar
1/2 lb Dark Roast Coffee (ground)
16 HBU Perle Hops (Bittering Hop)
Yeast WLP001 (California Ale)
O.G. 1.073-77
F.G. 1.010-22
They say to ferment for 1 week in primary. Make a coffee cold extraction 24 hrs before you rack to secondary. 1/2lb coffee with 24 oz of cold tap water. Add strained coffee mixture to secondary and then rack. Leave beer in secondary for 2 weeks, prime, botttle and age for 2 or more weeks. (The beer will get better with age)
Here is what I did:
Brew Day was 1-22-12 O.G. was 1.074
1-29-12 added coffee mixture
2-8-12 transfered to carboy
3-10-12 bottled F.G. was 1.020
(1.074-1.020)x131.25=7.8%
I didnt follow precisely but it still turned out great. There was a death in my wifes family so things got thrown off a little. This does get better as it ages. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out if you try it.
Wow thats very interesting!!! Cocoa and coffee, great!
For anyone still interested...I called my LHBS and they said the Alpha Acid is 6.5% and it was 2oz. of 16 HBU Perle Hops. Sorry it took awhile to follow up.
This is definitely a GREAT beer!
