Notes: Basing this one off of this reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/5r3rnf/so_this_happened_yesterday_best_of_show_out_of_85/
Toned down both the lactose and roasted barley a little since my last milk stout was both roastier and chewier than I like. Bumped up the Maris Otter a bit to improve diastatic power. No fermentation temp was given so just going with standard 68. No mash temp was given so I'm going to guess 154 to get a slightly less fermentable wort. Water chemistry also not given so going with a balanced profile for the first time.
Intention is to split 5gal into two kegs -- one will be just the milk stout. The other keg will have peanut butter extract and a tincture made from toasted cacao nibs added. Still working out the exact numbers on those additions and will update this when I have them.
Couldn't get Imperial A10 Darkness, which was the yeast I was going to use, so going to try Nottingham as part of my desire to move to more dry yeasts. Going to lower ferm temp a bit to 65 since I've heard stories of problem esters at higher temps with that yeast.
Toasted cacao nibs at 275 for about 10 min and smelled amazing but when sampled they had a slightly too-roasted character so we'll see how they turn out. Tossed the 2oz I toasted + 1oz of untoasted in with all the vodka I had sitting around (around 3oz), will sample in 4 days to see if it's worth using. I suspect that the nibs were already pre-toasted to the correct level so oops. Live and learn.
Got two different peanut butter flavor essences to try and have tried each a couple of times in my chocolate-flavored coffee to figure out if they made sense. The LorAnn one is a bit chemically and not very peanut buttery -- not a fan. The Brewer's Best one is much better -- very peanut buttery and natural tasting. I'll be adding it to the keg at packaging, along with the cacao tincture (minus the nibs) if it works out.
1/31/25: First brewday, unusually smooth brewday. No real problems. Late addition OG oopsie strikes again, though...forgot to take into account the lactose. Fermenter OG: 1.066. Wort tastes beautiful, looking forward to it.
Gravity tested on 2/6, sitting at 1.020, no diacetyl. Going to give it 2 or 3 more days at 67 degrees before cold crash to see if the gravity will come down a couple more points.
Put in for cold crash on 2/14, still at 1.020.

Notes: This is what i brewed on 6/9/22 (exact quantities)
the OG was a bit short at 1.052 I mostly entirely caused that that by diluting to 24 or 25L (-: by mistake I think!
The Roselare achieved 80% attenuation giving ABV of 5.51% not much short of the predicted on Brewers Friend but NB Rodenbach is only 5.2%ABV IBU 30 SRM can be misleading due to redness.
There are several different types of Rodenbach beers:
Rodenbach Original (5.2% ABV) blended from aged and young ale (25%/75%)
Rodenbach Grand Cru, a winey beer (6% ABV) which contains less young ale (67%/33%)
Rodenbach Vintage beer, this beer is unblended aged beer from a single cask selected for its qualities by a tasting panel, formerly sold as Grand Cru
Vin de Céréale, an aged beer that is 10% ABV
Caractère Rouge, beer, already having undergone maturation, that is put through further aging and maceration with cherries, raspberries, and cranberries
In commemoration of the brewery's 150th year of activity, it produced Rodenbach Alexander, a variant of Original with cherry flavor. Its name comes from the brewery founder, Alexandre Rodenbach |

| Notes: I used as much Belgian malt as possible to keep it true to form. Only adding Hallertau with low AA at the beginning of the boil keeps the hop characteristics in check, allowing the malt and sour to shine. I originally added some acetobactor but felt like the vinegary sour would be too harsh for this style. A standard mash with some gypsum for pH control is fine. The beer will be primed fro slightly lower CO2 than normal, to give it a softer, shorter head. |
