Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
It is clever how dark malty ales and Stouts improve over time, my Otter dark Stout brewed back in September has really come into its own now that I only have 2 bottles left!!!!
I'm not sure I have the patience for a YEAR!! Hope its a good one

Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
No worries about mash tun size, plenty of room left. I could have done a full 20L brew oh well I've never done a 10%ABV brew before so it's all a learning curve . I did drop the grist/liqueur ratio from 2.5L/kg to 2 so that will have helped. Just about to start sparging after a 90 min mash!
Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout + pictures
Here's the filth!
The grist
Starter of WLP007
FWH About 25g of EKG
21L bang on
Bi short on the PBG 1.063 @ 20 deg C
hops
Boil
Starter with 0.5L of cooled wort added to really get things going
Run off
This was this morning 12-13 hours in

Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
LOL thanks matey. The efficiency was well low on this one, 67.7%, so it's only gonna be 8.1 not the 10.1ABV I was after but I recon it's gonna be a winner anyway

Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
It looks like a good one, I am sure that 8.1 abv will be more than fine. I am wondering if you ever put spray malt into your brews when you find yourself not hitting your gravity?leedsbrew wrote:LOL thanks matey.

Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (NOW WITH PICS)
thanks 6470zzy,
I haven't put any spray malt in a brew before when not hitting the gravity, to get this up to 10.1% would need a fair whack of DME and I'm not too keen on the taste of extract. I'm willing to be persuaded though if you've had some success with it?

Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (NOW WITH PICS)
This is sort of off topic, but i use a BURCO tea urn as my boiler and i was wondering what size tap you replaced the original one with.

I figured I could get all the parts separately, drill out the tank connector olive etc, but it would have probably cost about the same and been a ball ache as I have limited access to tools. I ordered it on a Tuesday night and it arrived Thursday morning.

Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (NOW WITH PICS)
Looks fantastic.
Re: Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout (NOW WITH PICS)
Well i've just taken a sample off to test the SG and it's down too 1.030 already 62% attenuation in just under 3 days Looks like a choose the right yeast for the job. Obviously I had a taste . Bloody hell this is gonna be good stuff It's young don't get me wrong but the hops and malt are about perfect with each other I recon. Even at 7.1%ABV you get a bit of heat from the alcohol.
Gonna have to go down to Coopers in Guiseley and get a bottle of the proper stuff to remind my self of the taste. Even if this is nowhere near it's gonna be a good one!
How I'm gonna keep this for a year I have no idea LOL
