Notes

https://beerandbrewing.com/recipe-malletts-cherry-stout/

Starting point was John Mallett of Bell's creation at the Craft Beer & Brewing Brewers Retreat

Modified to include:

  • malt smoked with cherry wood
  • different hops
  • different yeast
  • fermenting on top of Montmorency dried cherries instead of adding concentrated cherry juice at flameout
  • Ideally: Steep equal weights of minced dried cherries and cocoa nibs in an equal weight of Black Forest Kirschwasser Brandy for ten days prior to adding the entire mess to primary fermenter on day two after pitching yeast
