Notes: Plan is to bake portions of the mash (like the keptinis descriped here: http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/394.html) to achieve a darker wort and more complex flavor.
-----------------------------------------------------
Some results and lessons learned:
1. While the mash converted, eventually, as evidenced by an iodine test, I have the feeling it was mostly larger unfermentable dextrines. While the wort was sweet, it definitely wasn't as sweet as I would have expected. When I baked the mash I got plenty of browning, some burning, but little actual caramelization - my Chemistry-fu is weak (something I should correct one of these days), but that seems like it would be indicative of more maillard reactions than caramelization. Finally, the Voss I pitched (@102f, held at 95f for the duration) chewed through the wort to 1.020 in just a few hours (lag time was maybe 45m), and then stuck there solidly. Next time, mashing with some glucoamylase alongside the alpha amylase might be in order. If only I could find some enzymatic oat malt...
2. In retrospect, a step mash would probably be appropriate here; the oat malt is almost certainly under modified, and dealing with some of the beta-glucans would be a good idea. Next time, maybe rests at 113 and 122 would be a good idea?
3. When baking the mash, I preheated the oven to 500f (with several baking stones on the bottom for thermal mass), before turning it down to 380f with convection right as I put the mash in. The mash itself was split between two aluminum roasting pans, a pyrex baking bowl, and a cookie tray, and baked for about two hours. While the mash in the roasting pans thickened and browned nicely, albeit with less caramelization than I had hoped for, the cookie tray just burned and the baking bowl remained fairly liquid inside. Roasting pans all the way next time.
4. Next time I need to remember to allow the yeast more time to clean up; by the time I check the next morning, after brew day, this had already reached it's terminal gravity of 1.020, so I allowed it 24 hours to make sure it wasn't going to move, and then cold crashed. That was almost certainly too fast, even for kviek.
5. Results: the pre-carb sample I pulled, after closed transfer to a serving keg, wasn't bad. The beer evidenced some harsh burnt toast flavors, but it seemed like it would be drinkable, especially after a little bit of mellowing with age. After a few days force carbing though, it developed a highly medicinal, hard to describe, backtaste - perhaps the carbonation just made some compounds (phenols?) more accessible to taste, or maybe I got an infection during the transfer or in the new keg? I'm going to let this keg hang around at room temperature for a few weeks before tossing it, on the off chance those flavors clear up, but I don't have high hopes. |

Notes: This is a clone to Breckenridge's Vanilla Porter. Critics said they like the vanilla and specifically the mexican vanilla that is different and maybe more cinnamon.
Also adapting orginal receipe to 10 gallon version for the Brewzilla
Has heavy chocolate flavor, very smooth with creamy top for all my friends that say they don't like dark beers.
Added 4oz of additional vanilla to kegs/bottles at final bottling
