Notes: Steep grains in cold 4L then mini-mash in 4L water at 65c for 60 mins then sparge with 1L at 76c. Use dash of PH leveller.
Add 2.8l of water to make 7L for boil - after 800ml absorption loss.
Yeast enzyme and whirlfloc added last 5 mins of boil.
Add dextrose, candi sugar and LME at end of boil. LME added to fermenter with around 1.8 boiling water.
Aerated wort with air stone for 15 minutes.
Made 2 step yeast starters for this brew. 1 litre to a 2.5 litre. Swirl regularly. pitched at 21c.
2 + 1 + 1 litre ice blocks. Chilled water in 2 containers for 8 litres to chill wort - remembering yeast starter will add around 300ml of volume. Still needed more ice to hit lower temp. Only hit 22c.
Used hop bag during boil.
Got 70% efficiency from grains but final OG was lower than calculated 1089 instead of 1091. PPG of extract was lower than expected.
Ferment around 17 degrees. In fermenter 20/9/15. Gravity at 1030 on 28th. 1020 on 3 October.
Bulk condition 2-3 weeks following completion of fermentation - stayed at 1020. Added reydrated pack of Abbaye Yeast on 16th October to try and get a little more attenuation.
Bottled 25/10.
Finished way too sweet - not enough attenuation. Needed much more sugar and probably remove the brown sugar and/or honey - other than that the recipe was great. |

Notes: This is the Quadruple Version of the Infinite Stout.
It's conditioned with oak.
It's blended with cold brew coffee.
It has chocolate in it.
It's a milk stout.
It's a breakfast stout.
It's an oatmeal stout.
It's strong as a musk ox.
It's black as space.
Don't be fooled by the projected numbers. The final gravity will be lower and the alcohol will be higher (12-13%) -- especially after conditioning.
Lactose is added 15 minutes into the boil. All hops and other ingredients added during the boil go into the hops spider.
After mashing in the oak spirals during the last ten minutes of the mash, remove them, boil the wart, and add the oak spirals back into the fermenter where they will remain until initial fermentation is complete.
3.000L Starter of both ale yeasts mixed together must be used to reach final (pre-conditioned) gravity. Initial fermentation temperature is 68f.
After initial fermentation, hydrate conditioning ale yeast with 500ml for 1 hour on stir plate, then add 4.4oz of table sugar and set back on the stir plate just until the sugar is disolved. Pitch into a sterile carboy or bucket.
Beer must be conditioned (aged) for best flavor. Rack the beer into the sterile carboy or bucket. Before bottling the Ale, fill each 500ml bottle with CO2 which will push the air out of the bottles because CO2 is heavier than air. Cork/Cap and Condition at 59-61f in darkness at a minimum rate of one (1) week for every expected percent of alcohol above 5%. |

Notes: The goal is to brew an imperial stout that will improve with age so I can brew it every year and start piling up a few years worth.
Things I've tried to far:
1. 2# roasted barley and 2# of chocolate malt: this ended up being a little too roasty. Like badly burnt coffee. I decided to drop it down to 1.5# each.
2. Vanilla: this was good, took the edge off of the aggressive roastiness.
3. Tanka Beans: interesting flavor, but not great in an imperial stout. I'm thinking it would be good in a nut brown ale. It just seemed out of place with the roastiness.
4. Cocoa nibs: good but I did not use enough.
5. Malted oats as part of the base: did not come through in the flavor at all. going to skip this moving forward.
6. Add enough corn sugar to get it up to 13% abv: doesn't seem to have improved it. going to skip this moving forward.
Next time:
- otter base malt, 1.5# each roasted barley and chocolate malt, special b instead of normal crystal malt, vanilla and cocoa nibs in half of it.
random ideas of stuff to try:
-I'd like to try a mexican chocolate version where I use some kind of chili pepper, some cinnamon, anise etc...
-A beligan version might be good. Back the roasted malt off some, add some candi syrup and use belgian yeast. maybe throw in some plums or berries etc... for good measure.
-It would be interesting to see what happens with like a year on oak. I might brew this twice in a row and stick one of them in the back of my closet with some oak cubes for a year. |
