"Homebrewing is a convenient solution to the challenges of keeping beer consumption safe during breastfeeding. Kegging critically offers the option to drink less than a full glass without dying a little on the inside. The alcohol percentage is also entirely within the control of the homebrewer, and furthermore, certain ingredients might actually increase supply and make nursing easier.
Of the ingredients cited as potentially beneficial, some advocated dark or roasted grains, while there was definite support for oatmeal and especially hops. This lead to an obvious style choice: Oatmeal Stout. The only other considerations were keeping the alcohol percentage low and slightly boosting the hop profile.
This beer turned out quite well; smooth and very roasty with some notes of dark fruit, almost like a very dark brown as opposed to a stout. The hop character was present, and a more assertive profile would not have been offensive." |

Notes: Mash grains BIAB for 45-60 mins then add DME just before boil.
Mash temp 158f. Higher levels give a less fermentable wort and a more full-bodied beer.
Roast Cocoa nibs at 300f for 10-15 minutes.
Add cocoa nibs, dark bakers chocolate and first addition of coffee at flameout. Steep or whirlpool it for 5-10 mins. You can skip this coffee addition for a more balanced or less coffee flavored beer. Then maybe only do .5oz coarse ground coffee in secondary.
Filter off hops, coffee, cocoa into fermenter.
After ferment rack onto coarse ground coffee for 7 days. Coffee can be soaked overnight in vodka.
Coffee Must be coarse!
I boil about 1/4 gallon every 15 mins in a 4 gallon (16 quart) kettle so it took me an hour to boil off 1 gallon. I adjusted recipe to start with 2 gallons.
Head Retention: It's possible oils from the cocoa or coffee beans can reduce head retention. Choose dry beans. Or soaking them in vodka can help.

Notes: Did the steeping of grains by 1 qt to 1lb if grains. Added grain and brought just to a boil and then covered and let sit. Brought 1 gal filtered water to near boil and added DME (6lbs at first, then 3more after getting closer to boil again). Took around 25 minutes of steeping before water was boiling. Poured 1 gal of water plus 1 qt that was saturating the grains and poured through grains 2x. Brought back to a boil and started the clock with the first hop addition (60min). Calypso 1oz to start. Citra 2oz at 45 and 30. Another shot of Calypso at 15. Added the sugar and irish moss at 10. Last hop add of German Hull Melon at 2 minutes.
To get the wort down, I tried to put in the sink with cold water (initial some ice). Once the water was warm, I refilled with cold. Did this for 15 min or so. Then to wort chiller and added 3 gal of almost frozen spring water.
Chilled to 67 and pitched yeast. OG was around 1.076. Lower than I wanted since I added .5gal too much water (than I intended)
Started 8:45 ended 11:45, all in.
Difficulty starting to ferment (3rd day). Moved to warmer room and shook it up and then it took off. Had to create a blow off system since it was foaming so much.
1 week transferred to secondary, no issue. FG was down to 1.010! Not sure how but the yeast apparently were hungry. THis puts the ABV closer to 8.5 and drops the IBU probably below 100.
Another week plus (11/30/15) bottled. Tasted as expected - Belgian round malty flavors, yeasty (very cloudy as well), but with a bit of bitterness all around. Not quite the 100 range bitterness, but that's probably due to the high malt flavors and the high ABV fire. Could be a good balance.
Used 5.5g of corn sugar for a slightly higher carbonation rate. Hoping for more of the seltzer-ish fine effervescence.
Should probably wait until after the new year to test and early Feb for release..... |

Notes: .5 oz = 1 tbs
add the spicy thyme at end of boil along with the molasses
columbus for a hint of citrus, simcoe for the piney-hopefully the thyme plays off these flavors, bravo for bittering for its fruity and floral aromas, and falconer's flight for aroma
add 2 handfuls for 2 gallons of toasted pecans at 5 min left in the boil
Higher temp, say 160, will give a somewhat sweeter richer body beer.
