Changed my mind. I'm going to make a chocolate stout this time, and will work on the big beer after that.
- 3.3 lbs. (1 cans) light lme
- 3.3 lbs. (1 can) dark lme
- White Labs WLP 004
- 1 oz. spalt hops pellets
- 1 oz. kent golding hops pellets
- 8 oz roasted cocoa nibs
- 1 lbs chocolate malt
- 4 oz roasted barley
- 8 oz crystal 90 malt
- 5 oz. priming sugar
Brought ~3 gallons of water to 160F, removed from heat and soaked grains for 45 minutes. Returned to heat, brought to 180F and added LME. Brought to 190F, added Golding hops and cocoa nibs, started a 1 hour timer. At 14 minutes, added the spalt hops. Cooled in sink of cold water to 102F, poured into primary, added cold water to bring to 5 gallons. Pitched at 76F.
IG: 1.040 @ 76F = 1.042 @ 68F (Probably wrong)
Racked to secondary. May want some more chocolate to finish, but I'm not sure. Possibly prime with chocolate syrup. -Morrigu 21:42, 8 August 2010 (EST)
Added more cocoa nibs to the secondary. My guess is that the scale was wrong. I think 6 oz went into the boil, and 2 into the secondary for 14 days.
Bottled. Nice chocolate aroma, bitter dark chocolate and coffee flavors. Beautiful dark color. Very smooth. -Morrigu 20:40, 23 August 2010 (EST)
FSG: 1.020 @ 76F = 1.021 @ 68 F = 2.6% ABV (Low due to bad IG data)
