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: I set the efficiency to 65% on this recipe, since I lose efficiency in my system with this much grain. If you can do better, the grain bill can be reduced.
When I brewed this, the FG settled to about 1.025 with WLP001, which was on target. The beer tastes mostly as expected, but I get a mild fruity taste. I think the cause is under-pitching/aerating, not the recipe. |

Notes: Shared by Andy Farrell of Bell's to the CBB magazine. The yeast can either be US-05/001/1056 or the Bell's House Imperial A62.
The recipe did not state a water profile, so I went with a basic 2:1 sulfate to chloride as it's not a hazy built up from RO water. How you achieve the water profile is up to the brewer. |

To brew this Ruthless Rye clone, mash grains at 154°F (68°C) for one hour. Mash out at 162°F (72°C) for 10 minutes, then raise to 172°F (78°C) and commence sparge. Boil for 90 minutes. Use rice hulls if a rye-induced stuck sparge is a concern. Steep aroma hops for five minutes at knockout and proceed with wort chilling.
Ferment at 68°F (20°C) until finished, rack on to bagged, weighted dry hops and hold for three days. Remove dry hops. Crash cool and condition the beer for at least a week before packaging. |
