Ingredients (Extract5 gal)

  • .5 lbs American Chocolate Malt

    American Chocolate Malt

  • .25 lbs American Black Patent

    American Black Patent

    Provides color and sharp flavor in stouts and porters.

  • .25 lbs Black Roasted Barley

    Black Roasted Barley

    Unmalted roasted grain, it is the backbone of many stouts. Imparts a sharp acrid flavor characteristic of dry stouts. Gives "dryness" to a stout or porter ,more so than regular Roasted Barley.

  • 5 lbs Dry Dark Extract

    Used predominantly in the production of dark beers such as milds, browns, porters, and stouts.

  • .75 lbs Lactose

    Lactose

    Adds sweetness and body. Use in sweet or milk stouts.

  • .75 oz East Kent Goldings - 4.5 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    East Kent Goldings

    Mild, slightly flowery.

  • 1 tsp Irish Moss - (omitted from calculations)

    Irish Moss

  • Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale™

    Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale™

    Slight residual diacetyl and fruitiness; great for stouts. Clean, smooth, soft and full-bodied.

Notes

4oz. of 100% bakers cocao added to primary. 4oz. added at bottling time. 2oz. of raspberry extract added to primary, 2oz. added at bottling time. Lactose added at last 5 minutes of boil. This recipe turned out alright, but not the best. I was aiming for something with a little more chocolate flavor like Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Because of the amount of raspberry extract I added, that's about all I taste. Definately a desert beer. If I brew again, it will be with 2lbs of fresh raspberries, 1lb of chocolate malt, and 8oz. of cocao total. Also, I'd probably change the hops to an actual bittering hop.
