Notes: - Balanced profile. Tan, lasting very creamy head, good lacing velvety. Good drinking stout.
- Mill the roasted grains, to get the best color and flavor go for an extremely fine grind, almost like dust, I use a coffee grinder.
*Bag and add the roasted grains, chocolate, roasted barley and black malt after the 90 minute mash rest is complete. This avoids lowering the mash pH too far and reduces the chance of astringency which can occur from over-steeping highly roasted grains. Once the 90 minute mash is over give it a good stir to mix it into the existing grain and hold for ~15 minutes; no more than 30 min. Squeezing the bag will result in releasing a little more extract but lower pH and give a harsh flavor. so avoid this.
- WLP004 English ale yeast adds a bit of fruitness in the background and is a bit sweeter. WLP007 Irish yeast has zero sweetness and comes out dry with a bit of a "twang". Both yeasts make this recipe a very good, smooth drinking stout.
- I go for a lower carbonatation and typically serve at a cool but definitely not cold temp, around 60° to bring out the flavors.
I've been told this tastes like chocolate milk. Very smooth and velvety. |

Notes: Brewed on 11/7/2020 using BIAB method
I thought i had 5lbs of malted wheat, but only had 2.162 lbs. I had to used 2.72 lbs of raw red wheat that came from Kalyn Diederich's wheat research plots.
8 gallons of strike water at 150 degrees F led to mash temp of 145 degrees F for 30 minutes. Temp dropped to 136 after 30 minutes. I then raised temp to 164 degrees F and placed grains back in kettle. Temp settled at 156 degrees F for 30 minutes. I then lifted the grains up to drain for the second time while i heated the wort up to 180 degrees F to reach a mash out temp of 172 degrees F for 30 Minutes. After mash out, starting vol = 7.0 gallons.
SG = 9.7 Brix = 1.0388 g/L
Final vol = 6.0 gallons with OG = 11.2 Brix = 1.045 g/L
hydrometer reading = 1.045 g/l
FG = 1.007 g/L after temp and water correction.
ABV = 5.0%
Direct pitched Fermentis SafBrew WB-06 into 5 gallons of wort @ 70 degrees F.
Kegged Saturday December 12th, 2020. |

Notes: MASH VOLUME:
- 1.25 qt/lb mash thickness
- 27qts strike water volume
- ~0.5 qt/lb water absorption = 11 qts
- Total mash vol = total vol of water + total vol of grains
- ~0.32 qt/lb water displacement by grains = 7 qts
- 15 qts + 3.84 qts = 34 qts total mash volume / 8.5 gallons
SPARGE VOLUME:
- Vol of first runnings = strike water vol - water absorption - water loss at bottom of mash tun - liquid in lines/pumps.
- 27 qts strike - 11 qts absorption - 1 qt loss - 0.25 qt lines = 14.75 qts vol of first runnings
- Total volume of sparge = target pre-boil volume - volume of first runnings
- 52 qts target - 14.75 qts first runnings = 37.5 qts or 9.25 gallon sparge water
PRE-BOIL VOLUME:
- Strike water + Sparge water - Grain Absorption - Losses = Pre-Boil Vol.
- 27 qts strike + 37.5 qts sparge - 11 qts absorption - 1.25 qts losses = 52.25 qts / 13 gallons |

Notes: Violent fermentation starting within 18hrs of pitching.
Added 16oz maple syrup at 24hrs during fermentation. WLP 550 was a beast and gave nice estery notes--reached final gravity within 1 week.
Messed up original recipe by adding 1.75 lbs of Caramunich instead of 1lb Dark Munich and .75lb Caramunich II. Turned out ok--yeasty, sweet, thick. Going with the "maple" theme on this one.
Future brewing notes:
Stick with the original recipe (see modifications above).
Add some aromatic malt
Use (more) maple syrup at bottling/kegging instead of fermentation
Use blowoff tube! |
