Notes: When using WY3711 (French Saison), no sugar addition is needed. The sugar for typical saison recipes is to make up for underattenuation of certain yeasts, such as the Dupont Saison strain. This strain supposedly keeps a good mouthfeel while also taking the gravity down quick and low.

Notes: Mash grains at 156° F (69° C) for 60 minutes. The high mash temperature, caramel malt sweetness, and heft will help balance the beer when you dry it out with the bourbon/oak addition later on. Sparge at 168° F (76° C). Chill wort to 65° F (18° C), ferment for 7 days, and then allow temperature to rise to 68° F (20° C) and ferment to completion. This typically takes 10–14 days.

While you are waiting, boil 0.5 oz. (14 g) of white, untoasted French oak chips, 0.5 oz. (14 g) medium toast chips, and 0.5 oz. (14 g) heavy char chips in 8 oz. (240 mL) of water for about 5 minutes. Drain off the water, and soak the wet chips in 8 oz. (240 mL) of cheap, rotgut plastic bottle whiskey or bourbon for 1 week. Drain, donate the booze to your nearest sink (or even better, use it in a pork shoulder marinade prior to smoking) and this time soak the chips in 750 mL good-quality bourbon (cask strength is better if you are willing to make the sacrifice) for 4 to 7 days. You should get vanilla from the white chips, coconut from the medium chips, and dark chocolate notes from the heavy char. Begin tasting the bourbon after 3 days. After the boil in water and pre-soak in cheap booze to extract harshness, you should now get subtle, harmonious flavors and aromas from the chips.

You are looking for a good, sweet, vanilla, coconut, and chocolate character that complements both bourbon and stout. When these flavors are detectable, and work well with the bourbon, it’s time to blend the soaking liquid into your finished or nearly finished stout. Add to taste—you don’t have to use all the bourbon, and you don’t have to add the soaked chips either, unless you feel the beer needs more oak character. Less is definitely more here—it seems like a whole lot of booze and a pitiful amount of wood, but this ratio will allow you to pull subtle, sweet barrel nuances from the chips, rather than harsh, dry tannins, charred wood flavors and bitterness. The bourbon itself will provide much of the flavor, and will bump up the alcohol on your stout a bit too, leaving you with closer to 10–11% ABV, which is right in line with Dragon’s Milk. It will also dry out your beer appreciably, which is a good thing, because we’ve intentionally made the beer thick and sweet by mashing high.

Notes: Collected 24L wort. Last runnings were 8 Brix. Pre-boil wort was 14.2 Brix. Forgot Dextose! May have shocked some of the yeast by pouring some beer into hot dextrose. Ended up missing 1075 target by diluting to 1072.

Finished dry in the end, down to 1010 after 2 weeks.

Caustic bitterness. Needs balancing with some crystal and total hopping rates reined in. Came through very American, with the dry hop lost a bit. Perhaps go steadier on the hop stand. I think the utilisation must have been higher than 10%

Notes: This is a beer that perhaps has a bit of a complex. Is it a Stout or a Black IPA, or something new, or something in between? Named for its dark colour and in homage to the varieties of hops used, this beer gives no quarter. Pushing the boundaries of acceptable bitterness from both Black Patent Malt and a hefty 90 IBUs and lifted with piney and resinous Northdown, citrusy Celcia and the peppermint and eucalyptus ‘Ice Candy’ tang of Polaris this brings a new level to the Stout and Black IPA conundrum…

Notes: Bring 27 litres of water to 65C and steep speciality grains for 30 mins, keeping temperature constant.
After 30 mins, remove steeping grains, and add DME whilst bringing temperature to a rolling boil Set your timer for 60 minutes.
Add 60g Hallertau at commencement of boil, and maintain rolling boil.
Add 1 protflec tablet 15 mins before end of boil and stir till dissolved.
Add 20g Hallertau 10 mins before end of boil, and the remaining 60g once you have turned off the heat at the end of 60 minutes.
Cool the wort as quickly as possible, and ensure the temperature is below 23C before pitching the yeast. For a cleaner taste, use a starter for the yeast, but dry pitching will work adequately with 1x10g packet if the temperature is maintained above 15C.
Maintain a temperature of between 15 and 23C during primary fermentation, and test with a hydrometer after approx. 8 days to ensure final gravity is met and constant over at least 2 days before priming.
Once ready to bottle or decant to a barrel, dissolve 166g of corn sugar/dextrose in a little water, and rapidly cool by placing the pan in cold water. Gently stir this in to the fermenter being careful to avoid disturbing the sediment.
Bottle, or decant to a barrel, and leave for at least 3 weeks to ensure the beer has cleared.
Chill before serving.

Keep an eye on fermentation and don't let it drop too low, the higher gravity finish gives this beer body and the slightly higher IBU's help back it up.
