FOTHB VI: Fellowship of the Homebrew 6: Let Doug and Mark Get Their Own From Now On

[TwistedGray]

A take on a 10.5gal batch I dropped almost a year ago inspiration cream of three.

Briess 2-row 76.1%
Flaked Maize 11.1%
Flaked Rice 11.1%
Briess C60 1.7%

1.054OG projected ≈ 5.5%
10IBU

Hope it's tasty! No frills besides the hops

Not too much corn? I found all mine to be a smidge on the to corny side.

The wort didn't taste too corny was actually quite pleasent, I'll see what happens when it ferments out I have a suspicion you're right on with that, was looking into the style and if it is ill sub out for 5% flaked wheat next.

If too corny I'll also just add fruit flavoring

If too corny, just add some dad jokes to the label.

I’ll do it again. Mind you I’ll be shipping late I’m sure.

I'm brewing tomorrow! First time for beer going into the unitank, I'm in. I'll try to have at least three offerings

Didn’t you tell me you accidentally bought that unitank drunk a few months ago?

You sir have a better memory than I.. And yea that's right on lol...

 

[jimyson]

I’m destined to get into one of these. Hopefully I’ll have the brewery back up in no time. Haven’t brewed in a year. New utility tub came in this week and ordered a new chiller tonight.

Who can guess my next offering

Ratio of darks to light is 60/40. **** ton of porters and stouts. Some with Death Wish coffee and some with Vermont Maple Syrup. Or 30gal of dark grain tannins..[emoji16]

Close ... True rye barrel aged vanilla imperial

I’m thinking you blindly selected some words out of the beer guide and put “true” in the front to make people think it’s authentic. Nice play.

I kinda wonder what that'd taste like.. half the darks aren't astringent. Hmmm.

Not pictured is the base malt. And I kinda like the idea of maple syrup. I was thinking that or toasted coconut

Yumm..toasted coconut! Add more then you think.

*whispers to himself* he's onto me

Was wondering if anyone here had any input.. Shooting high for 12-15% for a 6.5gal batch

I use 3 pounds of toasted coconut in my Dark Mild. And lose a ton of beer to it. Not sure I would waste a big, expensive beer on coconut, no matter how delicious it would be.

 

[Scturo]

I used 2 lbs unsweetened coconut for 3 gals, that I toasted and added in a muslin bag for a week. Getting decent coconut flavor, happy with it. I read that sweetened coconut will give more flavor, so next time.

I've heard not toasting will give more flavor as your not burning off oils. Damn..got this Old Rasputin clone ready. Maybe I'll pull off 1 gallon for coconut.

Hmmm didn't think about that. Would be a delicious coconut for a coconut creme pie after use though...

Oh. Now that's encouraging, I feel like a little squeeze to the bag and a drain and would work well. How big of a beer was it? I think 3lbs would offer a nice nuance likely.

That makes sense.. I may have to play around with toasting and not. And just eat a lot of coconut..

 

[TwistedGray]

Why not both?

 

[RevKev]

Why not both?

Hmmmm. Good point. Maybe half and half. This will be the beer the thread builds lol..

 

[TwistedGray]

The beer that Mark and Doug brewed...which one is toasted though?

 

[TwistedGray]

@orionol73 - You getting in on this round? As much "HB" posts in the WAYDN thread...you should be in here, mmmmmmmmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[TwistedGray]

Mashing in another beer to add to my mix, and barring any catastrophic failures it should be ready to bottle around shipping. Excited for this one

Guinness clone with that sour Labott

 

[TwistedGray]

I poured about a half gallon all over my sexy body, but I was too excited to take any pictures. Now that I am out of the shower, back to brewing. Fun times...$&^% $%&#& )**%$ # *&#^$&^
