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: Primary fermentation for 45 days. Then transfer 5 liters to a freshly emptied (of bourbon) small barrel for 45 days of barrel aging.
The remaining batch will get transferred to a bottling bucket right after adding 3 oz of priming sugar boiled for 5 minutes in 10oz of water. Also dump into the bottling bucket 32oz bottle of Starbucks Signature Black Cold brew concentrate. Then transfer the beer on top of it. Bottle immediately and let bottle age for at least 3 weeks prior to sampling the first portion of this epic Imperial Coffee Porter. Split bottles with with friends since this is crazy strong!
When bourbon barrel aged portion is ready, empty barrel to bottling bucket after boiling 7oz of water with 1.5 grams of priming sugar. Sample copiously before bottling the 12 limited edition bottles comparable to goose island bourbon county. Usually this portion stays flat since their are no yeast left at this time. So delicious, you won't really care.
Bottle condition for 2 weeks, but taste damn good straight out of the barrel. |

Notes: I found this recipe on Brewer's Friend and the notes are from that recipe. I could not get Magnesium Chloride at Midwest Supplies, so I am opting not to use any water modifications rather than just leaving one out. The malt I got was a smoked wheat malt from Weyermann and according to the label at Midwest, is designed for this beer. I am also using Safale K97 German Ale yeast and 1.5 pounds of rice hulls. I could have got by with less as it was like sparging through pea gravel. I used 1 ounce of homegrown hops at around 4.5 AA rather than 1.5 ounce at 3.75 AA. IBUs went from 22.17 to 19.27. Saaz were 3.2 AA vs 3.5 and that dropped the IBUs from 19.27 to 19.1.
Overall Impression:
A low-gravity, highly-carbonated, light-bodied ale combining an oak-smoked flavor with a clean hop bitterness. Highly sessionable.
Aroma:
Low to moderate oak wood smoke is the most prominent aroma component, but can be subtle and hard to detect. A low spicy, herbal, or floral hop aroma is typically present, and should be lower than or equal to the smoke in intensity. Hints of grainy wheat are also detected in the best examples. The aroma is otherwise clean, although light pome fruit esters (especially ripe red apple or pear) are welcome. No acidity. Slight water-derived sulfury notes may be present.
Appearance:
Pale yellow to medium gold in color with excellent clarity. A tall, billowy, white, tightly-knit head with excellent retention is distinctive. Murkiness is a fault.
Flavor:
Moderately-low to medium oak smoke flavor up front which carries into the finish; the smoke can be stronger in flavor than in aroma. The smoke character is gentle, should not be acrid, and can lend an impression of sweetness. A moderate to strong bitterness is readily evident which lingers through the finish. The overall balance is toward bitterness. Low but perceptible spicy, herbal, or floral hop flavor. Low grainy wheat character in the background. Light pome fruit esters (red apple or pear) may be present. Dry, crisp finish. No sourness.
Mouthfeel:
Light in body, with a crisp and dry finish. Carbonation is quite high and can add a slight carbonic bite or prickly sensation. No noticeable alcohol warmth.
Comments:
Pronounced in English as “pivo grow-JEES-kee-uh” (meaning: Grodzisk beer). Known as Grätzer (pronounced “GRATE-sir”) in German-speaking countries, and in some beer literature. Traditionally made using a multi-step mash, a long boil (~2 hours), and multiple strains of ale yeast. The beer is never filtered but Isinglass is used to clarify before bottle conditioning. Traditionally served in tall conical glassware to accommodate the vigorous foam stand.
History:
Developed as a unique style centuries ago in the Polish city of Grodzisk (known as Grätz when ruled by Prussia and Germany). Its fame and popularity rapidly extended to other parts of the world in the late 19th and early 20th century. Regular commercial production declined after WWII and ceased altogether in the early-mid 1990s. This style description describes the traditional version during its period of greatest popularity.
Characteristic Ingredients:
Grain bill usually consists entirely of oak-smoked wheat malt. Oak-smoked wheat malt has a different (and less intense) smoke character than German beechwood-smoked barley malt; it has a drier, crisper, leaner quality – a bacon/ham smoke flavor is inappropriate. Saazer-type hops (Polish, Czech or German), moderate hardness sulfate water, and a relatively clean and attenuative continental ale yeast fermented at moderate ale temperatures are traditional. German hefeweizen yeast or other strains with a phenol or strong ester character are inappropriate.
Style Comparison:
Similar in strength to a Berliner Weisse, but never sour. Has a smoked character but that character is less intense than in a Rauchbier.
Vital Statistics:
OG: 1.028 – 1.032
FG: 1.006 – 1.012
IBUs: 20 – 35
SRM: 3 – 6
ABV: 2.5 – 3.3%

Guinness-Style Dry Stout
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.041 (10.3°P)
FG = 1.010 (2.6°P)
IBU = 41 SRM = 44 ABV = 4.1%
Ingredients
6.25 lb. (2.83 kg) Crisp British pale ale malt or similar Maris Otter malt
1.75 lb. (794 g) Great Western flaked barley
14.0 oz. (397 g) Great Western roasted barley (500 °L) (crushed to powder)
8.35 AAU Kent Golding pellet hops (1.67 oz./47 g at 5% alpha acid) (60 min.)
White Labs WLP004 (Irish Ale), Wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale) or Fermentis Safale US-05 yeast
Step by Step
Crush the roasted barley very fine. Run it through a coffee mill or use a rolling pin to turn it almost to dust. That is critical to getting the right flavor and color with this recipe. Mill the remaining grains as normal and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 120 °F (49 °C). Hold the mash at 120 °F (49 °C) for 15 minutes then raise the temperature to 150 °F (66 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 6.5 gallons (24.4 L) and the gravity is 1.032 (8.1 °P).
The total wort boil time is 90 minutes. Add the bittering hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil. Chill the wort rapidly to 65 °F (18 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate.
Ferment at 65 °F (18 °C). Slowly raise the temperature during the final 1⁄3 of fermentation by 6 °F (3 °C) to reduce diacetyl levels in the beer. When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 1 to 1.5 volumes and serve at 52 to 55 °F (11 to 13 °C).
Extract with Grains Option
Replace the British pale ale malt and flaked barley with 5.25 lb. (2.38 kg) Muntons pale ale liquid malt extract.
Partial Mash Option
The recipe becomes 1 lb. (0.45 kg) British pale ale malt, 1.75 lb. (794 g) flaked barley, 14 oz. (397 g) roasted barley, and 3.5 lb. (1.58 kg) Muntons pale ale liquid malt extract. Place the crushed grains and flaked barley in a steeping bag. Heat 5 quarts (~ 5 L) to 160 °F (71 °C), add grain bag, and let steep for approximately one hour. Rinse out the grains and proceed as normal, adding the extract and water to the steeping liquor. |
