Notes: Hey, all!

Here is my Brettanomyces tropical stout recipe. I originally brewed this a couple years ago at KVCC's sustainable brewing program, where it won a gold medal in the Brett beer category of the US College Open Beer Competition. I liked it at the time but now that I have more experience, I want to brew it again. The original recipe has way too much roasted and highly kilned malts; Brettanomyces can be easily over-shadowed by an intense roast characteristic. I'll be sticking with a little bit of roasted malt and Carafa special II to get the near black color. Carafa special II is great in this recipe because it is "dehusked" which means it won't have as much of that roasted bitterness that is prevalent in roasted malt.
When mashing, opt for a higher temperature (70 C) rather than lower (66 C). A higher mash temperature will result in a more dextrin-focused mash; more dextrin means more food for Brett.
The boil is pretty self-explanatory, just follow the hop/adjunct addition schedule.
Whirlpool and add Saaz hops. Let whirlpool rest for 20 minutes before adding the wort chiller.
Aerate after wort has been chilled to fermentation temperature. Do this whichever way works best for you.
Pitch yeast, place airlock on top of fermenter, and place in a dark room. Once airlock activity has slowed immensely or stopped completely, it is ready for secondary fermentation.
In a sanitized bucket add oak cubes, Brettanomyces, and plum puree. You do not need to purge the bucket with carbon dioxide because the Brettanomyces needs some oxygen in order to remain healthy.
Add an airlock and lid to the bucket and place in a dark room. Secondary fermentation is finished when: the airlock is no longer active AND the desired Brettanomyces character is achieved, this can take anywhere from 5 to 10 weeks.

I plan on brewing this in about a month or so. I need to procure the rest of the equipment needed for my 5-gallon homebrew setup.

Notes: Do not know why OG calculations are so far off.

Guinness-Style Dry Stout
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.041 (10.3°P)
FG = 1.010 (2.6°P)
IBU = 41 SRM = 44 ABV = 4.1%

Ingredients
6.25 lb. (2.83 kg) Crisp British pale ale malt or similar Maris Otter malt
1.75 lb. (794 g) Great Western flaked barley
14.0 oz. (397 g) Great Western roasted barley (500 °L) (crushed to powder)
8.35 AAU Kent Golding pellet hops (1.67 oz./47 g at 5% alpha acid) (60 min.)
White Labs WLP004 (Irish Ale), Wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale) or Fermentis Safale US-05 yeast

Step by Step
Crush the roasted barley very fine. Run it through a coffee mill or use a rolling pin to turn it almost to dust. That is critical to getting the right flavor and color with this recipe. Mill the remaining grains as normal and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 120 °F (49 °C). Hold the mash at 120 °F (49 °C) for 15 minutes then raise the temperature to 150 °F (66 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 6.5 gallons (24.4 L) and the gravity is 1.032 (8.1 °P).

The total wort boil time is 90 minutes. Add the bittering hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil. Chill the wort rapidly to 65 °F (18 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate.

Ferment at 65 °F (18 °C). Slowly raise the temperature during the final 1⁄3 of fermentation by 6 °F (3 °C) to reduce diacetyl levels in the beer. When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 1 to 1.5 volumes and serve at 52 to 55 °F (11 to 13 °C).

Extract with Grains Option
Replace the British pale ale malt and flaked barley with 5.25 lb. (2.38 kg) Muntons pale ale liquid malt extract.

Partial Mash Option
The recipe becomes 1 lb. (0.45 kg) British pale ale malt, 1.75 lb. (794 g) flaked barley, 14 oz. (397 g) roasted barley, and 3.5 lb. (1.58 kg) Muntons pale ale liquid malt extract. Place the crushed grains and flaked barley in a steeping bag. Heat 5 quarts (~ 5 L) to 160 °F (71 °C), add grain bag, and let steep for approximately one hour. Rinse out the grains and proceed as normal, adding the extract and water to the steeping liquor.
