Notes: This brew was designed around what grains my local shop had in stock. The goal was a lightly coloured, high alcohol braggot (a type of barley wine/mead.) I wanted 2-row to be the main grain, & the Avangard pre-ground was on the shelf; a 20L Caramel/Crystal (they had darker) milled in the store was a last minute addition. I ended up using 4lb of raw buckwheat honey + 2lb or raw wildflower honey, which took this from pale to well into the amber. I did want Kent Goldings to be front, and chose the nugget just cause. Love me some 71B for most of my meads, so went there here.

3rd day gravity reading: 1.032 (current ABV ~13% per the Hall Equation.) Too much hops at this point.

9th day gravity reading: 1.030. Keeping it in primary, adding the red star now. Well, really the lees from my hydromel. Hopefully this kickstarts some fermentation. If not, I will try a champagne yeast. Hops are strong, but in a really good way—my hop-head sister will love this if I can get the FG down.

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.

kegged to flush keg with 1/2 lb guava puere mixed with water and 2 oz chryo citra and one ounce chryo mosaic
beer finished more dry than anticipated 1.10
the beer was less hoppy than anticipated so I added 4.2oz galaxy 1oz mosaic pellets
The beers is incredibly hoppy and amazing complex throwing off many tropical flavors. This is my favorite hoppy beer to date.
