unclear on the notes below. if there was DME added i would estimate 10-11% otherwise probably 9.5%. the body is pretty thin. main issue with this beer is it stayed in the oak barrel way too long it just tastes like harsh wood. shouldve saved some on the side without to wood to evaluate separately.

===============================
???/2022
Reading byo session to imperial article about imperial stou they suggest using brown sugar to get up to gravity I’d consider that. Also they mentioned double mash which I should def do it should def help since last time mash tun was maxed out and really too thick
===============================
5/25/2022
majore lapse in note taking. unclear the OG or abv of this beer. somewhere between 9.5 and 12% smh. The OG on brew day was 1095. however there was 3 lb DME added to the recipe separate from what was already in the grain bill making me think i added it later. correcting the efficiency to 55% for the 1095 OG then adding the DME gives 1.116 down to 1020 making it 12.5% not considering the whiskey.

before today the efficiency was set at 50% not sure if that was corrected after brewday? not sure. leaving it there gives us 1.109 down to 1020 for 11.6%.

maybe i put the 3lb in the recipe just to calculate what it would be but never actually put it in? if thats the case it would be 1095 down to 1020 for 9.4% abv

===============================
2/28/2022
Measured 1020 FG ...could that be right? That would be 80% attenuation for 11.6%. Its pretty brown and not black. Maybe there is more volume in there than I have here in recipe

===============================
2/18/2022
considering adding LME to boost grav...(thinking LME instead of DME might be easier to work with),...adjusted volume and turned up the projected attenuation

===============================
2/16/2022
last minute pulling out the oats. worried about stuck mash and wont be able to babysit....

===============================
2/15/2022
got water report updating to that, looks like ph will be a little high so adding a little phosphoric acid.

thinking about mash. G40 is 11 gal in mash so we'll go 1 qt/lb mash thickness on 28 lbs grain. adding a line for DME in case we go to that later.

looks like it will be a little over 7 gallons strike water and 5 gallons sparge water.

pitching 1 jar of RVA 101 into almost a gallon of 1040 starter wort 2 days before. no stir plate.

===============================
2/8/2022
wondering if this will all fit in the GF. could possibly do it all in the cooler or split between the two.

thinking about setting this up early in the day to mash during work and have it boil for 3 hours while i do dinner/bedtimes. setup the GF in the driveway if possible - will be a lot of steam.

see big beer schedule https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gaWvnYevKP9I8mmRzW54MrnqfOVuWlsOEhzyezW-kaY/edit#gid=0

===============================
1/16/2022
adding notes to sparge strategy to try to achieve decent efficiency.
adjusting yeast - use rva 132 plus 3L starter

===============================
12/1/2021
* adding oats and removing DME for now.
** adjusting recipe for 65% efficiency and trying to hit 10%abv counting the oats as zero points contribution.
** probably want to use a grain bag if possible
** remember to take preboil gravity, and throughout. maybe last 10 minutes of the boil take gravity and decide whether or not to throw in some DME
* adjusting to 2 hour boil
* will plan to double mash.
** not sure the plan for that because g40 will be maxed out at 10g preboil and thats without grain
** ...maybe just take the first mash out and put the 2nd one in. then take it out and sparge to get to volume? will be leaving behind sugars in first mash...
** ...alternatively sparge both mashes. after first mash and sparge and mash is pulled, should have about 6-7 gallons, that should leave enough space to drop the 2nd mash in. when that comes out, i would think we'd then have 5-6 gallons left. and will have to sparge to get the rest of the way. 2nd mash will have absorbed some of the 1st mash wort so it should probably be richer in the end for more sparging?
===============================
11/3/2021

RECIPE REBUILD
* reducing roasted barley from 1.25 down to 0.5
* reducing black patent from 1.25 to 0.5
** wanted to use less but keeping it here to get within SRM for style
* adding 1lb 120L for flavor and body
* get rid of the fricking kviek!!! change to london3
* adjusting efficiency to 70% :
** going to 2 hour boil
** im now on G40 which has been doing 2gal/hr so we'll go from 10g down to 6 during a 2 hour boil

for yeast would need rva 132 200B pack and a 2L starter or equivalent

todo :
* need to figure out yeast requirements (packs, starters...)
* consider oats
** its 21 lb grain...consider double mash
** ...if double mash consider more base grain and less DME
** any changes to grain bill, try to keep abv at 10%...

===============================
11/2/2021
this brew came out tasting funky again. submitted to JRHB dominion cup they said umami and i think that is correct. This is the third time this has happened to varying degrees, I previously thought it might be bad ingredients but I think hothead and/or too much roasted malt is to blame...

===============================
5/1/21
Not sure what happened only came to 1.100 OG even after the 2 hour boil and DMe. It was 1075 before the DME.

Last minute adding 2 lb base malt and reducing DME. Gonna play by ear how much dme to add
===============================
4/30/21
booting this back up for big brew day with ryan tomorrow. we are doing two 5 gallon mash sparges into my 15 gallon kettle to boil all at once so that could change things. im expecting better efficiency even without the dry malt extract. plan to boil 90 minutes, check gravity, then potentially add 3 or 6 lbs total DME for the 10 gallon batch. i think we will need 14 gallons to start, boil down to 11 or 11.5, leave 1 behind for trub.
===============================
5/25/2020
FG 1.036 (cold sample)
appears the starter wasnt necessary and didnt do anything anyway. Hit an official 10%
===============================
5/11/2020
SG 1.036 - made a 2x starter from a new hothead pack and tossed half of it into the batch.
===============================
5/2/2020
SG 1.041
===============================
4/27/2020
SG 1.045 fermented like crazy the first couple days just off the kveik pack no starter.
===============================
4/16/2020
brew day. Idk what just happened I hit 1.112 and high volume really, couldnt tell exact because of the foam but maybe it was only 5. I guess eff prob goes up if u add a lot of DME. This could be disaster or awesome
===============================
4/15/2020
just changing the batch size from 6.5 down to 5.5 and taking the 2row down from 15lb to 12lb to still arrive at 10%. considering using kviek yeast for this....

===============================
3/24/2020
revamping this for another attempt. shamefully adding dme and predicting over 70 eff to land at 10%. other than that no real changes. worried it might be too bitter hoppy? would like to NOT split the batch and just do 2 vanilla beans. bourbon oak would be nice but i feel that the failure of the last batch was from trying to do too much at once.
===============================
9/30/19
brewed this on the road, came out with more than 6 gallons at 1.080 which was a mistake shouldve boiled longer. also used some old hops which may be putting off strange flavors.

9/23/19
base recipe is Stone RIS clone found in byo magazine. recipe is scant, and doesnt really add up : https://byo.com/recipe/stone-imperial-russian-stout-clone/ . posted recipe is for 65% efficiency so actually less efficient than my system but i added a pound more base malt anyway to try to get over 10%abv. yeast is a little unclear wlp002 listed 65-70% attenuation so we will have to be perfect and hit 70% to get over 10%abv. but then this amounts to 1030 FG, recipe is listed at 1020. could use wlp007 english dry ale if hittin FG was a concern but i think extra sweetness in this beer is going to be ok.

1/4oz bitter
1/2oz sweet

https://brewgr.com/recipe/59297/chocolate-orange-stout-oatmeal-stout-recipe
fresh orange peel and juice
(essentially a whole orange)

mrbeer
https://www.mrbeer.com/barleys-brew-chocolate-orange-stout
4oz bakers unsweetened chocolate
2 medium oranges
take off the skins but not too much pith
they soak skins in 1/2 cup vodka, adding allof it
maybe use a thin glass so the vodka covers more

final thoughts
use the brewers peel sweet and bitter, soak in vodka with vanilla bean
use thin glass
add the whole thing
optional : plus the orange juice

CHERRY

AHA
https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/choc-full-o-cherry-porter/
frozen sour cherries

HBT
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/chocolate-cherry-stout.326884/
cherry juice concentrate
might be better in reducing sugar and other flavors....

final stand
a) i guess prob just use frozen cherries. not sour! sweet/dark any other kind than sour
b) cherry juice concentrate? how sour?
Dark cherries. Aha recipe calls for 5 to 10 lb per 10 gal batch. I think I will go with 5. For split batch 3.333

Notes: Dogfish Head Craft Brewing’s Indian Brown clone

(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.070 FG = 1.016
IBU = 50 SRM = 18 ABV = 7.2%

This dark IPA is available year-round and is dry hopped similarly to Dogfish Head’s 60 Minute and 90 Minute IPAs. It is roasty, with a mild hop bitterness.

Ingredients
10.75 lbs. (4.88 kg) Pilsner malt
15.2 oz. (0.43 kg) flaked maize
10.9 oz. (0.31 kg) amber malt
10.8 oz. (0.31 kg) crystal malt (60 °L)
6.5 oz. (0.18 kg) coffee malt
2.2 oz. (62 g) roasted barley
6 oz. (0.17 kg) dark brown sugar
11.5 AAU Warrior® hops (60-10 min.) (0.72 oz./20 g of 16% alpha acids)
6 AAU Golding hops (10-0 min.) (1.2 oz./34 g of 5% alpha acids)
6 AAU Liberty hops (0 min.) (1.33 oz./38 g of 4.5% alpha acids)
1 oz. (28 g) Amarillo® hops (dry hop)
0.5 oz. (14 g) Simcoe® hops (dry hop)
0.5 oz. (14 g) Glacier hops (dry hop)
White Labs WLP005 (British Ale) or Wyeast 1187 (Ringwood Ale) yeast
3/4 cup corn sugar (if priming)

Step by Step
Mix a half a cup of water to the brown sugar a slowly caramelize the sugar in a small pot. Be sure not to scorch. Mash the grains at 152 °F (67 °C) in 3.75 gallons (14 L) of water. Vorlaf until your runnings are clear, sparge, add the caramelized sugar and then boil the wort for 60 minutes. Begin hopping the wort with a continuous stream of Warrior® hops. When you run out of Warrior hops, refill hopper with Golding hops and resume hopping until the end of the boil. Add the 0 minute hops after boil and stir wort to create a whirlpool. Allow wort to settle for 15 minutes then begin cooling. Aerate cooled wort and pitch yeast. Ferment at 70 °F (21 °C). Add the dry hops after final gravity is reached, and leave them in contact with the beer for three to five days. Bottle or keg as usual.

Notes: This recipe was originally a kit called 'Black F-Rye-Day Pale Ale' from Adventures in Homebrewing. However, I changed it quite a bit.
I set my mill gap as tight as possible to mill the grain (except the malted rye) as close to flour as I could to ensure optimal extraction.

First wort hopped with .75 ounce Magnum and 1-ounce Spalt Select at 5 minutes.

Pulled 1 liter or wort from mash and diluted to 2 liters to make a starter. When I pitched the yeast I added all the wort back into fermentor, bringing gravity down to 1.073. Will add half a pound brown sugar to increase gravity by 4 points.

Will age on .75 ounce of medium toast oak chips that have been soaked in rye whiskey after fermentation is complete.
