Black Coffee Stout

Post by Clibit » Sat Apr 19, 2014 4:10 pm

My mate asked me for a recipe for a coffee stout and this is what I found and gave him - he made it, and it's ace. You can choose extract, all grain or partial mash, and vary the hops according to taste/stocks.

(if you do extract version prob a good idea to do a mini mash of other grains with 0.5kg or so of pale malt, rather than a simple steep, as brown and munich malts need some enzymes I believe. Just keep mini mash temp between 60 and 70C for 30-45 mins):

Batch Size (L): 19.0
Total Grain (kg): 4.110 (Extract version)
Total Hops (g): 49.00
Original Gravity (OG): 1.070 ish
Final Gravity (FG): 1.018
ABV: 6.9 % ish
Colour: 39.5 SRM 77.8 EBC
Bitterness (IBU): 23.1 (Average)
Efficiency (%): 75
Boil Time (Minutes): 60

0.114 kg Black Malt (2.77%)
0.114 kg Brown Malt (2.77%)
0.114 kg Chocolate (2.77%)
0.114 kg Roasted Barley (2.77%)

Hop Bill
----------------
7.0 g Columbus Leaf (17.1% Alpha) @ 60 Mins (or other bittering hops (aim for around 25IBUs)
14.0 g Hallertau (8.1% Alpha) @ 30 Mins OR Mt Hood, Tettnang, Tradition, Liberty, Crystal
28.0 g Hallertau (8.1% Alpha) @ 0 Mins OR Mt Hood, Tettnang, Tradition, Liberty, Crystal
