Brewed this bad boy up on the 21st. Everything seemed to go fine. Wort was very sweet, massive coffee flavor and bitter as all hell. Fermented like mad and actually blew out my airlock so I had to setup a blowoff tube. Hopefully nothing got contaminated. OG was 1.060-1.061. Will probably rack to a secondary later today. Average fermentation temp was about 73 deg F

Well then

Just moved to secondary. TG was/is 1.022 which is higher than I would have liked to see but what can you do. That still comes out to about 5.7% alcohol which works for me. Taste is initially bitter which I am assuming is from the hops but it may be the Roast or Black Patent as the Black Patent smells like if you used too much of it that it may bitter the brew, I have been told that Roast can do the same. At this point the bitterness it isn't bad but just extremely noticeable. Roast is perfect, mmmm coffee and you can just detect the chocolate. It is sweet but at this point I cannot tell if it is because of poor fermentation or from the grains themselves, though it is a pleasent sweetness. Will post up once I get into bottles.

And?

Well?!? How is it buddy?

s2r_duc

uh

2007-09-01 3:55pm

hel-looooo. It says I will post up when I get it into bottles. gawd :rollyeyes: naw, I am going to try to get it bottled later today or tonite. I'm gonna use DME since someone forgot to bring my priming sugar. So, should I use the Dark or the Light DME? DME is neat but, I digress. If it has suds by monday I'll drop some by and you can have Mr. Porp swing by too. Does he have anything going right now?

Herbaljoe

That is correct.

2007-09-01 7:39pm

DME IS RAD. Use the light DME. Or, use molasses. Yeah. mmmmmmmmmmm.... Old Porp Monkey has a light lager a-brewin' in the freezer: http://www.beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=6692 Should be ready in a couple more weeks. Next up for him is an IPA I believe. Next up for me is a Sam Adams clone. Hoo-ray for trying out decoction mashing!

OK, Just finished bottling. TG was 1.020 which should bring it to arround 6%, yay. I ended up using 1 cup of dark DME (I guess I didnt have any light DME, oh well) and 3 Tablespoons of table sugar (cause I am paranoid) hopefully I didn't drop the F-Bomb on this one. I think this one will need some time to settle in. Great coffee nose, taste is quite complex but seems kind of uneven, flavors are all over the place. Great coffee aftertaste that lingers for sometime. Bitterness is there, wierd and full bodied though, if that makes any sence. Not much other hop presence can be detected, which is good IMO. Alcohol taste is definately present but doesn't dominate the beer like an Imperial. We'll see how long before it is sudsy...

Wow, this brew has a huge coffee nose. Aroma is like ground coffee beans (as opposed to the smell of coffee in a cup). Really nice aroma without being overwhelming. First taste that hits you is a smooth roasty flavor and then the coffee flavor hits. This is like the flavor of brewed coffee (as opposed to the flavor of ground coffee beans). After swallowing it's sort of like smooth coffee ice cream. Really really smooth. Kinda scary smooth because you can drink so much of it without realizing it. Can't taste any alcohol flavor at all. Very well disguised considering the relatively high alcohol content. No real bitterness to speak of. This is the only thing I would change, but I tend to like bitter beers. Nice work.
