Notes

This recipe is based on the 2 recipes provided by Weathered Souls Brewery at this link... https://blackisbeautiful.beer/

The intent of the collaborative brew (nearly 1000 breweries in 37 countries as of this writing) is to "Raise awareness for the injustices people of color face daily and raise funds for police brutality reform and legal defenses for those who have been wronged."

The recipe isn't exactly the original. Weathered Souls encourages us to be creative. I have used Flaked Rye in place of Flaked Barely. Being Canadian I thought that would go better with the roasted rye, eh? Plenty of other little changes... my first recipe with 10 different grains in it. (Maple Syrup was also added during the boil when it was clear the sugar level was lower than expected.)

I reduced the relative quantities of the most roasted grains. The resulting wort was an amazing combination of sweet chocolate, coffee and toffee flavours with little harsh burnt taste.

This recipe was made specifically for a 50L/45L All-in-One electric brew kettle. e.g. Arsegan EasyBrew, Brew Monk Magnus and others. As this will be a full mash basket, I achieved 64% efficiency instead of 74% or more. A 90 minute mash (or longer) is recommended for good extraction.

Brewed with Amsterdam (NL) tapwater and lactic acid additions until the pH was 5.2. No salts.

These calcs are for an 7.4% ABV Oatmeal Stout and have been refined based on the results of first brewing on June 30, 2020.
