That sounds intriguing. I would love to know how it turns out

I did a 1 gallon batch about 2 months ago to test it out and it turned out nicely so I went with a 5 gallon batch today. The chocolate hops have a nice spiciness to them and works well with the nugget. I use 2row, victory, & munich which I really like as a combo for my ESB's. It's one of my favorites so far.

Can I get the recipe? Or shall I say we for the others who may be interested.

 

[basementbrewbrad]

didn't you brew a black Belgian there a while back? How did that turn out?

Did a batch of honey triple with Brett trois that'll be ready in a few weeks and a cherry bourbon double that'll be ready next week

Here ya go:

ESB with Chocolate Hops (Experimental crop from Yakima Valley)
5.5 gl
BIAB
No-chill
O.G. - 1.056
IBU - 46
Expected F.G. - 1.017

7.25 lb 2-row
2.25 lb Victory
2 lb Munich 10
.5 lb Carapils
6 oz C-60

Mash @154 for 60 min (I actually went with 156 just for the hell of it)

.5 oz Nugget @40 min
Irish Moss @15 min
2 oz Chocolate Hop @Flameout
1-2 oz Chocolate Hop Dryhop 5-7 days (Haven't decided amount yet)

S-04 rehydrated
Pitched tonight at 61*
I'll let this sit between 61 and 63 in the chamber for about a week then bring it up a degree everyday until it gets to 67-68 and let it sit another 2 weeks.

**When I converted from 1 gallon to 5, I tweaked some of the grain bill and hop amounts from the original. The Victory and Munich is amounts are totally up to you for how much you want to use(I might bump the victory a little more next time and drop the C-60). The hop schedule are my adjustments for no-chill so the regular schedule would be 60, 20 and 10-5 (whichever you wanted). I really liked this beer but haven't had a chance to let anyone else try it yet so it's a good beer based on my opinion. I just pitched the yeast tonight so here in a month or so I can give you an update on how it ended up if you'd like.

Threw together a mix of juiced fruits: star fruit, mango, pear and apple. !/2 gal juice, topped with water ti a little over a gallon...added abour 12 oz honey and 2 cups of sugar to boost it to 1.073 OG. Not quite cider, not quite mead? Pitched Vintner's Harvest CY17 Premium Wine Yeast and 24 hours later, it's showing steady signs of life. I'm not sure exactly how to classify it or what to call it, but about a year from now, I think it's going to be a nice drink...of some kind.

 

[badlee]

Going to brew a beer that has been waiting a few weeks.
My friend and I will brew beers virtualy the same.

[Psylocide]

I am. After a long string of agonizing weekends with various in-laws, I "get" to brew.

First crack at an AG Hoppy Wheat ale that I'm working on for a buddy's Bday in June.

Doing BIAB overnight mash... going to be an interesting brew day(s).

 

[aopisa]

I want to brew this weekend, and am planning on it, but not sure if it will happen. Made two starters this morning for a split batch of saison (565 and 565+Brett C mix).

Planning my first step mash - ferulic acid rest, then sacch rest.

 

[Scele]

I haven't decided yet, I've brewed 4 out of the last 7 days, so I was thinking of having a drinking day. I am planning on putting my pliny clone in secondary and dry hopping. That means I still have 3 in the pipeline, but I'd like to get one more going, since the pliny and continously hopped IPA still have between a week and 10 days until they are done with secondary/dry hopping and the maibock has 10 days of fermentation and a month of lagering.

I have a stepped mash planned for a Two Jokers clone but just havent had the motivation to brew it yet. the real issue is I have to divide the grist and sour mash 1/4 of it for a couple days before I brew the rest. Hopefully itll be worth it, good luck with yours! Do you batch or fly sparge?

I am going to make a ipa with Belgian pilser malt instead of pale malt

BIAB, but sometimes sparge, sometimes don't. I'm maxing out the capacity of my baby system for this brew, so I'll probably need the volume from a separate sparge.

That's a good beer. Where'd you get the recipe from?

 

[olotti]

Collecting my last runnings now for a choc coffee oatmeal cream stout. It's a balmy 18deg feels like 3deg in mich but luckily I brew in the garage and it's really not that cold, fairly pleasant actually.

I got it from the Boulevard dude that hands out on BA. I can PM you the recipe if youd like.

I am thinking I will do the 1/4 girst that has to be sour mashed as BIAB as it seems that would be easiest. I may end up doing a 10 gallon batch since its going to be so much work anyway.

Sure, more out of curiosity than anything else.

Assuming you add the sour mash portion to the end of the regular mash? Run off first or add the whole thing?

Well I guess it not technically a sour mash haha you mash the first part, collect runnings, and then add lacto for a few days. Then I would add that prior to the boil with the rest of the wort. PM incoming.

 

[Gus_13]

Brewing my base Saison this weekend with a blend of 3724 and 3726. Changing out munich for vienna as well.

 

[Timzabel12]

I will be doing a citra and zythos pale ale on Sat!

 

[okiepc]

Tomorrow, Friday morning, going for a Columbus IPA, 6 gallon. The weather is supposed to be nice, 65 degrees & not much wind & everything is ready to go. I am ready to get a pipeline going.

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

I will be brewing Randy Mosher's Belgian IPA, BIAB-style.

 

[wtaylor3]

Finally getting around to an ESB found here on HBT and possibly a ten gallon batch of co3c that I'm splitting and modifying 5 gallons of. All depends on whether or not I finally get ambitious enough to wash and sanitize 50 bottles....running out of fermenters (which I suppose isn't a bad thing) and also storage space

 

[grrickar]

Trying my hand at a Fuller's ESB AG clone

 

[atoughram]

Fresh Squeezed IPA up for this Sunday.

 

[1977Brewer]

Cascade SMaSH/Columbus SMaSH parti-gyle scheduled for Saturday. Woop woop.
