Ok so where do I even begin, first it's St. Patrick's Day or Paddy's day. Second it's on March 17th. And third, yes shame on you!

*Crawls into corner*:cross:

 

[cclloyd]

I'll be brewing a Stout next weekend - this weekend I have to suffer through a 4 day Bahamas cruise. Woe is me.

 

[brewt00l]

Transfered my dry stout to the secondary...DAYM it's tasty business!!

 

[Aubie Stout]

Going to try Flanagan's Dry Stout. Might try to get a batch of Skull Splitter going while I'm at it....... Skull Splitter is good.

 

[brewt00l]

Nice!

I'm in for another batch of the dry stout in this thread this Saturday! I've repeated it several times w/ Williamette and its become a favorite.

[SkewedBrewing]

Dammit guys, now I have to give serious thought to brewing a stout in the next couple days...

[Aubie Stout]

Not too different from the Flanagan standard that seems so popular. This will be my first stout.

You'd be surprised how different they are side by side..don't get me wrong, the Oflan std is good stuff but this has become one of my favorite brews. The simplicity of the pale/roast/flaked with just that hint of sharpness from the acid malt is a beautiful thing. WLP007 is a clutch part of the recipe IMHO. Enjoy the OFStandard!

 

[SeamusMac]

I'm doing two batches of the LHBS's blonde ale. Its not very Irish but I'm going to dye it green while bulk priming it and the Heineken bottles covered in shamrock stickers should help set the mood haha. It'll be my third brew kit and my first time using only a primary, hopefully it doesn't get all FUBAR and leave me with no green beer for my party!

 

[skeeordye11]

Well, not necessarily for SPD, but I recently bottled an Oatmeal Stout and I have an Irish Red in the primary now, which might end up being an Irish brown due to a little oversight in the ingredients. Oh well, I had a hydro sample tonight and it seems very promising. Guess I'm all set for March 17 at my place whether I meant it or not!

 

[winzerz]

my scotish ale 80 /- should be ready by SPD am I in trouble?

lol

 

[Loweface]

Only if you don't share!:rockin:

We just brewed up a Holiday Stout last weekend. Yeah I know a little late, but hey St. Patrick's Day is a holiday too, in fact in my book it is THE Holiday, so barring some really unfortunate mishap that should be ready by then. Beyond that I've plenty of Scottish Ale and Strong Amber on hand, not to mention Apfelwine, countless types of cider and hard lemonade, Rasberry stout, and an Omegaang clone. I'm set.

 

[Ryan_PA]

WLP007 is a clutch part of the recipe IMHO.

I know we already discussed this last year, but remind me why this is a better choice over 004. I am gearing up for my dry stout and have the 004 in the fridge ready for a starter.

 

[Doog_Si_Reeb]

We are going to host a St. Patricks day party so what better excuse for another beer. Dry stout? Irish Red?

Yes.... (read: both)

 

[Battery_BreweryNJ]

I'm brewing up SuperiorBrew's "Red Headed Step Child" this weekend so that it will be ready just in time for SPD.

 

[SpanishCastleAle]

I brewed an Oatmeal Stout last Saturday and will be brewing another batch weekend after this one...well...that is if the yeast washing from the first batch goes OK.:rockin:

 

[farmbrewernw]

Got 10 gal of Ode to Arthur ready for the day I might need to make a mild as well.

 

[big supper]

Got 5 gallons of Dry stout that will be ready and just brewed an oatmeal stout today. That one should be ready too.

 

[ChefMichael01]

Brewed an Irish Red last night and will be brewing a dry stout (with a bit of a kick) this weekend for St Pattys.

 

[underwaterdan]

Is a magic hat #9 clone too american ?

 

[MaynardX]

Making my first All Grain as I type and its an Irish Red Ale for St. Paddies day!

 

[Ryan_PA]

So I finally brewed my stout for this year's party. I am really still working on dialing in my efficiency with some new equipment I have added to the system. I was planning on 70% since the last batch was a little lower, but I hit 82%, which is more in line with what I would expect once everything is dialed in. I think I will plan for this for future brews.

Anywho, I did a modified version of Brewt00ls recipe, and came in way high with an OG of 1.054:

I tried the recipe w/ some chocolate malt once and I found that I much pref'd it with out...it kinda muddles up the depth of flavor on the malt side.

6 lb Maris Otter Pale Ale Malt
1.75 lb Barley Flaked
13.0 oz Roast Barley
6 oz Chocolate Malt
2.0 oz Acidulated Malt
.25 oz Willamette (5.0%) - added first wort, boiled 60 min
1.5 oz Willamette (5.0%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min
.5 tsp Irish Moss - added during boil, boiled 15 min
1 ea White Labs WLP007 Dry English Ale


...in the midst of brewing my std recipe (pretty much the above w/o the chocolate and minus the FWH) the other weekend, I found that was about 1/4# short on the flaked barley so I tossed a 1/4# of oats...well, see.

 

[Ryan_PA]

I know, I realized it was going to lose the roastieness. I thought I had roasted at home, but it was only a metric a$$ton of choc malt.
