Holy Carp! It actually looks like stout!

[JonM]

Whoah! That last post came at this from a completely different angler!

He got lured in by all of this stout talk.

Hook, line, and sinker....

Nah, he'll love the attention to pisces.

 

[KYB]

Fish.


What recipe was this? I'm curious as to how you toasted the grains. I attempted to make a GF stout for my 2nd beer ever (it's the GF recipe I have on here, before there was anything else), toasted 2lbs of grains pretty dark, and it was even a 2.5gal batch. It wasn't even amber in color, hah. I have no idea how it ended up being so light. Still ended up tasting alright.

Guys, I think we can all agree that this thread has been seriously de-whaled. Perhaps we should concentrate less on creating a steady stream of conch-iousness fish talk, and more on netting a solution for stout.

Then again, maybe knot...

 

[JonM]

Yeah, it was fin while it lasted.

 

[SenorPepe]

First of all, I apologize for posting something on-topic

I would submit that you are ALWAYS qualified to evaluate your own beer. After all who's gonna drink it?

Ahi will. I get it.

Stouts are fun to make, especially clones. You can tuna recipe and make a Flounders Breakfast stout. Mmmm.

Nice job! I've been trying to work tuna in all day somehow.

Didn't get the opportunaty?

This is a fun thread, but I should get off my bass and do some real work...

 

[g-love]

Holy mackerel! You guys are still going at this?

Yeah, looks like we're still angling for some more puns that can be caught...

 

[BigfootCounty]

Let minnow how it tastes.

Wow, I didn't really this post would have this kind of legs, even WITH the fish reference. (Which was intentional, btw, a buddy of mine used to always say holy carp.)

On topic, this was a bit of an unusual recipe. I didn't have the best of luck with my roasted grain for my last stout attempt, or the other 2 beers I tried it in. So I took a different route:

Steeped 1 lb of GF rolled oats (I tried to toast it in the oven first, but I don't think it was in there long enough to do much more than get warm).

3 lbs sorghum extract
1 lb cooked honey (black)
2 lbs cooked sugar (burnt).
4 oz maltodextrin
1 oz Fuggles
4 gallon boil (turkey fryer)
Yeast: S-04

At bottling time, we bottled most of it as usual, but when we were down to the last little bit in the bottom of the bucket, we added a cup of coffee, so we got I think 12 bottles of coffee stout. I've tried one of those, it wasn't bad (except being undercarbonated).

I've relocated all my recently bottled beer (this and a batch of Dubbel) to a room with an electric heater, and I'm trying to keep it above 70 for a couple weeks so it will hopefully finish carbonating.

As for not being well qualified, I've never had a stout before. I tried a sip of Guinness once, many years ago...

Now to figure out how to make Lager over the holidays...

 

[dorklord]

Oh, and when I say we burnt the sugar, I mean we really cooked it. It tasted like dark chocolate and looked like tar. I thought it actually tasted a little too burnt.

The honey we cooked until it was the consistency of caramel, it was a little darker, and it tasted like a nice mix of caramel and honey. I should have taken pictures. Maybe I did and I can't find them.

Thanks to the original poyster for sharking his recipe!

 

[beowulf]

It sure does look pretty perched up on that table...I'm sure it'll turn out just fine.

 

[dorklord]

Oh, I somehow forgot the oats! I edited the original recipe to reflect the steepage of the rolled oats.

 

[Satisfaction]

Thanks for sharing! I am always sea urching for innovative GF recipes.

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

It's always great to sea horsing around on these boards！

 

[paulster2626]

I see the fish-related comments have really scaled back.

 

[FatherJack]

It's hard to believe that one little perceived typo could spawn so many funny replies...

 

[carltjones]

Not usually into GF but that looks like a barracuda actually like.

Bwaaaah Nice!

Crap. I thought the replies were home brewing terms on how to make a great stout. You had me hook, line and sinker.
