Notes: This is an experimental beer based on descriptions for Dwarven Stout from the Dungeons and Dragons 5e game and drier stout recipes. The aim is for an almost opaque stout that's strong but warming rather that alcohol forward with a thicker head that lasts into the tankard (may need a little wheat to truly get that effect). Flavor should be on the bready / malty side with a little complexity, balanced by hop bitterness. I grow my own Nugget hops, so I'm using that as the sole hop here to give a "local tavern" spin on the style.

Per the description, it should be about twice as strong as other ales, which were running about 3.7% ABV, so it's not as strong as it could be, but I also want to make sure it's not so strong that it can only be a special occasion brew.

Source water is from the reverse-osmosis filtered grocery store water.

Yeast in this case is Voss Kveik simply because I do not have temperature control on the fermentation, and being that this will be brewed in the middle of summer, the standing house temp is around 80 degrees, so I need a yeast that can handle the heat and higher alcohol.

Notes: - Brewed on 22 June 18
- Scraped wild yeast from 2 x petri dishes (very funky!) that had been sitting for approx. 2 months undisturbed...no idea on weight/volume of yeast...rehydrated in about 1/4 cup of sterilized water. House is kept at 71 degrees but the experiment is being kept in the pantry which gets a little warmer due to outside wall...probably 75 degrees avg.
- Once pitched, no activity for 24 hours, then vigorous fermentation for about 12 hours, then no visible fermentation for 24 hours (may have been a loose seal), then fermentation restarted and has been going slowly since (today is 4 July). Hints of banana with a little funk...not unpleasant.
- Once fermentation appears to cease I will take a gravity reading, wait 3 days and measure again. If no change, and calculates to at least 5% ABV I will bottle, charge, and wait 2 weeks before tasting. If below 5% I will add a 1/4 teaspoon of Safale US-05 to see if fermentation restarts.
- Took a gravity reading 7 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). Got a better whiff...quite a pleasant smell.
- Took a gravity reading 15 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The appears yeast is settling out because the beer is now very clear. I added a very small amount of Safale US-05 to see if it would finish up any residual sugars. I took a chance and put 4-5 drops on my tongue...great flavor...hints of pepper. Reminds me of a saison. If there are any residual sugars I expect the added yeast to begin work within 24 hours. I will take a final gravity reading and bottle next week.
- Took a gravity reading 18 Jul 18...1.022 (4.59%). The addition of the Safale US-05 did not appear to spark any additional fermentation. So I added 2 oz of honey directly to the beer...not sure how smart this is, but I swished it around to dissolve the honey. This time, once fermentation stops I will take a gravity reading and bottle immediately. Still smells great.
- 19 Jul 18: 24 hours and no indication of activity. There may not be enough oxygen for the yeast so I'm going to do something else I'm not sure is such a good idea...I'm going to oxygenate the beer for about 5 secs to see if that gets anything going.

Notes: Aerate the wort very well. Pitch at 21C.
Ferment for about 1 week.
Serve about 2 weeks after bottling/kegging.

Many Germans roll the bottle on the table before opening it to get the yeast sediment well mixed with the beer. This is an option you might want to try for authenticity.
