Notes: 1st attempt at a brown ale using harvested chestnuts - make sure it's the spiky ones! Horse chestnuts aren't meant to be eaten
Gonna cut an X on the chestnuts and then roast on some BBQ coals. Crush and separate into shells and inner nut . Put the flesh into a processor and blitz
Add the nut shell in a hop bag during mash and add the blitzed flesh along with the malts
This is an experiment I don't know how much. if any fermentable sugar will be released by the chestnuts - My SG should show that
From reading it's worth adding the shells to get some more smokey notes
Also adding in some roasted Cacao nibs 1/2 lightly roasted, 1/2 darker roasted - should help balance the sweet chestnut
125g - 20 mins at 127 C
125g - 20 mins at 157 C
The malt extract is just to bump up the abv a little as it's going to be a Christmas beer. Northdown hops for the dry hop stage came from helping with our local breweries harvest, adding in just because! |

Notes: Blend in "tea" to taste, post fermentation.
Recipe from Gordon Strong's "Brewing Better Beer: Master Lesson for Advanced Homebrewers".
"Bring about 1 quart filtered water to a boil, then pour over spices and cover in a separate container. Let steep for 15 minutes, then strain to remove spices. Cover tea and keep chilled until used. I blended in about 2 cups (473 milliliters) of this liquid in the 5-gallon (19-liter) batch. But you want to do it slowly, mix it well, and taste it. Different people have different tastes, so you’re looking for a nice balance without being overpowering with the spices. Don’t use tea—it has too much tannin."

Notes: Tweaked this recipe to get what we wanted: https://www.homebrewsupply.com/thirsty-strongman-belgian-ipa-all-grain-recipe-kit.html
Lots of clove flavors from the saison yeast (varied fermentation in the high 70's to funk it up a little) and a higher-than-expected abv made the name of this beer obvious.
I tweaked the steeping efficiency and attenuation to reflect what we actually saw in the beer. The apparent attenuation was crazy high - but I'm not complaining. Not sure if it's the yeast, the high fermentation temp, the fact that there was mostly very light malts, or some combination of all those things. |

| Notes: Plan is to make a low IBU IPA: big citrus hit from cascade, but alt-bier level IBU ~40-ish. Malt-wise, I'm going with a simple bill, dominated by pale, munich and caramunich with some carafa I to (hopefully) create a red colour. |
