Hi all,
I'm planning to brew my first ever stout. Up to now I have only brewed APAs and IPAs. I want to make it hoppy:
5 gal batch (partial boil of about 3 gal to start with)
3 Kg (6 lb 10 oz) of LME
7 oz chocolate malt
7 oz pale malt
7 oz roasted barley
7 oz special roast
14 oz Munich malt
For the partial mesh I usually heat the pot to 158 F, and then let it sit for 30 min. Usually the temperature after 30 min is around 153 F.
1 oz Willamette - 60 min
1 oz Amarillo - 10 min
1 oz Equinox - 5 min
US-05
Optional (have not decided yet) - Dry hopping with 2 oz of nice strong hops, and an extract (using vodka) of 1 Vanilla bean.
What do you think? As mentioned, never brewed a stout before, so I'm not confident about the balance of the flavors (roast, sweetness, bitter, hop fruity aroma)
Thanks!
Alex
