I've decided to do a weirdo experimental batch for my fourth brewing attempt. I wanted it to be higher ABV and ready as a Christmas warmer-upper. I was also intrigued by the Harry Butter Beer thread that was floating around not too long ago. The result (which is brewing right now) is this recipe, hopefully it turns into something worthwhile:
90 Min Boil (to boil off excess water, mostly. I overestimated.)
2 Cans Extra Light LME
1 Can Amber LME
1lb 2 Row Pale |
1lb Crystal 80L |--Steeped until 180*
1lb Dextrine |
1 Stick Cinnamon
1 Pack Meijer Butterscotch Chips
1oz 4.8% Fuggles @ 90
.5oz 4.5% Goldings @ 60
1tsp Nestle Vanilla Caramel dry creamer @ 60
1tbs Ground Cinnamon @ 60
.5oz 4.5% Goldings @ 20
1tsp Irish Moss @ 15
Pitch WL-004 and 007, I didn't have time/patience for a starter. We'll see what happens.
Critiques are welcome and encouraged, though the boil is at 50 min. I'm excited to see how this turns out. People seem to talk **** about using real butterscotch chips in the Butter Beer thread, but no one has actually used them.
