Notes: Son of a Bastard
I love the Bastard series of stouts from Nickelbrook in Hamilton, Ontario, so this is my tribute to it. However, I've never quite fallen in love with this recipe. I need to make it creamier-feeling. Do I need to become nitro-capable?

Malt

Basic idea here is a healthy helping of dark/black malts and dark crystal malts. Feel free to vary the actual specific malts.

It's a lot of malt! Do not overgrind the malt. I had a seriously stuck mash for STOUT03. Also, make sure the mash filter is properly clamped on. Don't fuck around!

I've set brewhouse efficiency to 55% for this recipe. That reflects results to date. It's still quite possible that the yield will be lower than expected. Have on hand at least a kilo each of DME and dextrose.

Mash

The mash pH that is calculated for this recipe is way too low. Ignore it! Stout03 came in consistently at 5.5. Eventually it dropped to 5.2. Don't leave out the acid malt!

Dough in 33L @ 168F ==> 153F strike temperature //set to 2.5L/Kg grist ratio to avoid troubles with overly thick mash Stout03
Add 10L to HLT after dough-in and fit HERMS
Let sit 60-90 minutes at 153F (with a gently drop over time)
Use HERMS to raise temp to 158F, hold 10 minutes
Use HERMS to raise temp to 170F and start to run off
Be gentle with the HERMS recirc to avoid a stuck mash
Consider using rice hulls for same reason.

Chocolate

Use cacao nibs roasted according to this schedule:
- 350 °F (177 °C) for 10 minutes
- 325 °F (163 °C) for 5 minutes
- 300 °F (150 °C) for 5 minutes
- 275 °F (135 °C) for 5-10 minutes or until done.
When the roasting is right, there will an aroma of brownies. You could go longer too for deeper more complex flavors. I did not do that with STOUT02.

Cacao nibs are added to the mash.

Yeast

I'm going to go with SAFALE S-04, my new favorite. No need to rehydrate it. Sprinkle two packs on the wort and stand back.

Hops

Not a lot of hops. Most straight-up stout recipes use a bunch more, but I want little noticeable hop flavor, so the chocolate and coffee flavors can shine.

- 240 alpha pts 60 minutes
- 75 alpha pts 30 minutes
- 75 alpha pts 0 minutes (stay close to 1/2 ounce)

Coffee

Prepare cold-brew coffee at a rate of 60g coarse coffee per cup. (Make at least 6 cups. You won't need that much, but anything left over makes nice iced coffee.)

Default rate is STOUT 4 (equivalent) 3/8 cup to a glass carboy. Go with that or perform taste tests with the cold brew coffee.

Notes: Hatch chile's are to be cut down the center (not deseeded) then chopped into 1/4" pieces and put in a jar, then filled with vodka just above the chile's, then chilled in the fridge for a week. Peel skins off of mango's then put in muslin bag.

Notes: Jester King's recipe also has pilsner malt, but I subbed 2 row for the pilsner.

15.8 brix for batch 1, 16.4 brix for batch 2. higher efficiency than expected.

Notes: This is the best beer Ive brewed to date. I am very happy with it. Love the malt, the hops are completely expressive. It is not a very bitter IPA, but the hop flavor and aroma are magnificent.

Notes: Brewed 1/5/15. Strike water was 167F and it brought it to 152F. I cooled it down to 148 by recirculating 2gal and stirring. PH was 5.1 which was lower than expected. Probably shouldn't have put as much acid malt in there. Sparged to about 9 and maybe a pint, decided to let it be a bit short due to a thick yeast slurry. Also, the spareg water ran out so maybe a bit more next time. Brix of runnings never dropped below 3. Runnings into the kettle were 10.43 which puts it at about 90% efficiency. Probably due to the excess sparging. Had a very vigorous boil which I kicked up in the last 20min. I collected about 5.5ish gal. The efficiency was up this time maybe due to the corn sugar. Brew is sitting at 68F. After a couple hours it had cooled down to 66F. I decided to heat it up a little but accidentally got it up to 70/71F for probably an hour. I cooled it back down to 66-68F. It was probably warm for about an hour, however, yeast activity had already started. 1/6/15 morning it had crept to 68F and I cooled it down to 66F. By evening time it had heated up to 68F so I cooled it down to about 65F. By morning it was sitting at 66F and by evening it had risen up to about 68F. 1/8 morning it was sitting at 68F still, I put it on a heater and by evening it was about 70/72F. 1/9 I raised it up more degrees in the morning to 72F (hard to tell with the therm stickers where is specifically is as they are messed up a bit). 1/10 I heated it up in the morning to 74F. 1/11 heated it up to 75/76F. 1/12 and 1/13 I heated it up a bit more and it's not sitting at 78F. It appears that it is still fermenting a little bit. Gravity reading on 1/18 put it at about 1.006 or 1.008, hard to tell. Fermentation might have kicked back up in the evening but I am considering whether to pitch the french saison. 1/19 decided to take gravity reading and chill it down to 60F which pit it at 1.010 (84% attenuation). Decided to cool it down a little and pitch the french saison (about 250 billion cells) at about 75F. 1/27 took a gravity reading which put it at 1.006, took it out of the swamp also. 2/1/15 biofined with 2tbs. 2/3/15 kegged half and bottled conditioned half. The bottles were carbonated to about 2.85 volumes. I wanted to do a bit less than that but I only got about 2.33gal from the keg vs the 2.5 I was expecting. Might be nice to do a bottle conditioned vs keg conditioned comparison. Bottle code BS2.
