Notes: Hey Dennis,

My name is Matt Webster and I am the Lead Brewer at The Lost Abbey. Our Director of Production asked me to respond to your questions about Serpent Stout. This is one of my favorite beers that we brew, here is a quick run down on what goes into the brew.

OG: 24 Plato
FG: 4 Plato

60% 2-Row
6.5% Roasted Barley
6.5% Chocolate Malt
6.5% Crystal 120L
3.5% Extra Dark Crystal 165L
4% Flaked Barley
13% Dextrose (added to the boil)

We use Centennial as the bittering hop and some Magnum half way through the boil. We ferment it with our house yeast strain (similar to a British Ale yeast) at 67 degrees. One of the unique parts about this beer is we barrel ferment 10% in used bourbon barrels, to get the really charcoal and smoky notes.

Glad you enjoy the beer and happy brewing.

Cheers,

Matthew Webster

So I went ahead and plugged into beersmith for a 5.5 gallon batch

* This is the darkest crystal my LHS carries. This should be ok to substitute with, right?

Mash @ 67C for 60 minutes

I haven't had any experience with WLP005 and was wondering if WLP007 could be a possible substitute. I'm worried about under attenuation. I was planning on throwing about an ounce or so of dark toast oak chips in to the fermenter to mimic their 10% barrel fermentation. I was also wondering if anyone could recommend a good fermentation schedule for this (how long to leave in primary, whether or not the oak affects primary, do I also rack the oak to secondary, etc.)

I probably won't be able to try this recipe for a little bit, I just brewed my first imperial stout and now don't have any open fermenters. Just figured I'd share the wealth and get a discussion going on brewing this great beer!

Notes: Yeast Starter: 2packets of yeast, Stir plate, 7.2oz DME, 2L water, 24hrs (70-80degrees), set in fridge for a few hours to allow yeast to settle and discard liquid on top before pitching.

Separate 6 batch 5gal/1gal
(use 1pack of yeast for 1gal no starter) rack 1gal batch to secondary after primary is complete and add cacao nibs, vanilla, and bourbon barrel cubes soaked with buffalo trace. Age, age, age...

5gal batch could do the same as the 1gal but only age for 1-2weeks...

Notes: This was a 10 gallon Spartan IPA recipe at 6.25%. I changed to 15 gallons without changing anything else. Now it's 4.25%, This also raised the IBUs from 12.25 to 15.6 that doesn't make sense to me.
Also used Cablecar yeast to make it a lager.
