Notes: (Notes from my Original Recipe, man has my knowledge grown since this first batch!)
I like to add the Lactose in the last 15 minutes of the boil. I've switched from adding the Vanilla to the boil to adding it into the primary Fermenter, in English, I retain a lot of the taste of Vanilla that from when I was adding to the boil. This should have a decent balance. |

Notes: Make a porter,, add Ginger Snap spices at 10 minutes left of boil. (Actually the spice mix is 1/4 of the regular ginger snap spice ingredients list when making the cookie. Spice list is: 1/8 TSP salt, ginger, white pepper, dry mustard; 1/4 TSP ginger; 1/16 TSP clove. BE PRECISE.) Molasses goes in at 5 minutes. Chill, pitch yeast. Ferment three weeks, bottle and age for a few months. (Can drink in two weeks but ages very nicely.) |

We use plenty of hops to accent this popular style. From the bittering to the flavoring to the aroma hops, we created the perfect balance for this clean, crisp pale ale. |

Notes: Recipe as per YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_ze-jIA74w
5 Gallon Batch
8 lbs Pilsen Malt Extract (box says PALE which is likely NZ LIGHT, whereas Pilsen is EXTRA LIGHT)
.5 Aromatic
.5 Wheat
.25 lb Caramunich
.10 Chocolate
2oz Tettnanger
.5oz Goldings (Styrian) hops 15 min
NB: in the recipe builder I have adjusted amounts to achieve the target values as below
NOTE: my boil kettle loses 3.5L per hour! Tend to lose 2L to trub at end of fermentation, hence if wanting 19L, need to start with 19 + 5.5 = 24.5
8 lbs LME = 6.7lbs DME = 3.039kg
Recipe states steep grains at 65oC +/- 10oC for 30 mins in one gallon of water - I will steep in the wort
Recipe states to crash cool below 27oC then pitch the yeast - I will aim to crash cool 1 - 2 oC below the fermentation temp for the yeast
Target OG is 1.069/1.070
Target SRM14
Target OG: 1.074
Target FG 0.016
Target IBU 23
ABV 7.3%
Target flavour: based on Chimay Red, a Belgian Ale with copper colour, a sweet and fruity aroma and a sweet flavour with traces of black currants |

Notes: Smell of zesty orange peel. Delightful fresh taste with with good body. Copper colour, with taste notes of freshly crushed coriander seeds. Head is aggressive on the pour due to high carbonation, but settles comfortably after a few minutes.
>malt extract can be light or extra light
>yeast should be Belgian Wit (wheat) beer type
>use light honey
Directions for 5gal batch:
O.G.: 1.056-1.060
F.G.: 1.008-1.010
Bitterness: 18BU
Colour: 4SRM (8 EBC)
Alcohol: 6.3% by volume
Add malt extract, honey, and boiling hops to 7.5L water and boil for 60 mins. Add the Irish moss, flavour hops, and half the ground coriander for 10 mins. Add the remaining ground coriander and orange peel for the final 5 minutes. Add the aroma hops for the final 1-2 minutes of boiling. Strain, sparge, and transfer immediately to 7.5L of cold water in the fermenter. Top off with additional water to make 19L. Aaerate the wort very well. Pitch the yeast when the temperature of the wort is about 21C. Ferment at about 21C for about 1 week or when fermentatino shows signs of calming and stopping.
Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when fermentation is complete. For added attraction add one whole coriander seed to each bottle when bottling (microwave them if worried). |

Notes: This started as a basic Irish Stout kit from Midwest Supplies (Beer. Simply Beer.). The idea was to add some chocolate rye for a hint of spicy while imparting more color and roasty flavors. Addition of 1 lb of amber dme to boost abv a tad. All in all I wanted a strong flavored stout with some subtle pumpkin flavor that tasted a little like a big beer without actually being one.

My own gravity read was around 1.056. However this is a brand new hydrometer and also the first time I've taken gravity measurements (I'm really new to this) so I'm curious to see what my FG is. |

Notes: Ale Yeast
Wyeast and White Labs both offer an Irish ale yeast — 1084 and WLP004, repectively — and these are popular choices for dry stouts. However, many English ale strains will do a good job in a dry stout, especially if they are relatively highly attenuative. Likewise, a “neutral” American strain — including the very popular strain available as Wyeast 1056, White Labs WLP001 or Safale US-05 — is also a good choice. If the yeast has enough character on its own to distract from the roast character, then it’s not appropriate.
Keep in mind that, although dry stouts are meant to be dry, they don’t have to be bone dry. You do not need to shy away from your favorite English ale yeast if it is only moderately attenuative. Dry stouts start at fairly low original gravities (OGs), so you can reach an appropriately low final gravity, even if your yeast strain is not among the highest attenuators. |
