Sortalvheim Stout:. fun weekend on the way

[Deebee]

I have a mate who i have known from school comng over.

This means i get freedom from evertything and am allowed to brew my arse off!

So The weekend sees a RIS ( recipe already posted)

A nice pale ale with extra light MO 8 love the colour of this 9 and all experimental 366 hops

and a stout.

The stout will come into the style guidelines of foreign /export stout due to the gravity. personally i find the guinness type stouts rather bland so will be aiming at something very dark, malt and roasted. So here we go:-

Sortalvheim Stout

58.3% pale
17.4% flaked barley

Thoughts?

Mmmm, that sounds heavenly.

You know what? Being in a Nordic country, I'm sure you're familiar with the drink Sorte Svin (black swine) with Turkish salty black liqourice candies dissolved in vodka? Well, I keep meaning to experiment by adding some of those candies to the late boil of a big brown beer like this. Black Swine Stout, baby! Just a thought, if you're into that kinda thing.

We call them Turkish Pepper here.
Maybe something to think about for later.
The stout turned out into a monster. About 5.9%
Sample jar was promising but until the ferment is done inguess you never know.
