North by Northwest Stout - Partial Mash

Trying this one this weekend. I want to know what y'all think of the recipe. Kind of nervous about the 1 lb of Black Patent... I tried my best to convert this from an AG recipe.

Ingredients (Extract5 gal)

  • 1 lbs Caramel Malt 120L; Briess

    Caramel Malt 120L; Briess

    Pronounced caramel, burnt sugar, raisiny, prunes flavor. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam, foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • 20Row Caramel Malt 120L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts deep red color. • Use 3-15% in Amber and Red beers. • Use 10-15% in Bock beers. • Use 7-15% in Dark beers. • Use 10-15% in Porter and Stout. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

    Pauls Roasted Barley starts with a good quality malting barley of even size. The roasting process is similar to that of Black Malt, with extra care taken to not char the grain. Roasted Barley will impart a dry flavor and substantial color.

    Pauls Chocolate Malt is prepared from a low-modified Pilsen type of malt in a revolving roasting drum.

Comments? Suggestions? Why the F doesn't anyone provide comments or feedback on this site? Let's help each other out people!

Yeast Starter or Double Pitch?

2011-03-27 10:03pm

Don't particularly care to make a starter. I have my WLP001 and a spare pack of Coopers (7g). Thinking of just double pitching. Thoughts?

I usually make a starter a couple of days in advance, but if this isn't to your liking, then using the Coopers should do the trick. I just like knowing my yeast is going to take off when I pitch it.

Thanks for the feedback, beerboy007. Haven't had an issue yet not using a starter (knock on wood.) My only issue with starters is that I never really know when I'm going to brew until like the day before, which isn't likely enough time for the yeast to become active in a starter... unless you think otherwise.

If you had a stir plate, making a starter the day before would work just fine, especially for an ale yeast. I normally know pretty well in advance when I will be able to brew (having every Thu-Fri off helps, hehehe), so not having a stir plate hasn't been a problem. I DO plan on attempting some lagers in the coming months, so a stir plate is on the horizon. Let me know what you decide!
