    Imparts sweet and dry taste. For honey and brown ales. Also: specialty ales.

  • 1 lbs Candi Sugar Dark

    Smooth taste, good head retention, sweet aroma and high gravity without being apparent. Use in Belgian and holiday ales. Use clear for tripels, amber for dubbels, and dark is used in brown beer and strong golden ales.

    Helps head retention, imparts creamy smoothness. For porters and stouts.

  • 2.5 oz Magnum - 14.5 AA% whole; boiled 120 min

    Magnum

    Bred in 1980 at Germany’s Hüll Hop Research Center, this high-alpha variety is renowned for its exceptionally large, heavy cones. Hallertauer Magnum delivers excellent yields and, like many Hüll-developed hops, boasts a strong resistance to disease.

  • 1 tsp Yeast Nutrient (AKA Fermax) - Yeast Nutrient and Irish Moss @10 min (omitted from calculations)

    Yeast Nutrient (AKA Fermax)

    Helps yeast stay active during fermentation

  • 2 oz Coffee (grounds) - coffee flameout (omitted from calculations)

    Coffee (grounds)

    From the arabica plant. Beans are usually roasted and have a strong distinct bitter flavor. They are then ground and hot water is used to "steep" the unigue oils out of the grounds.

  • Danstar Nottingham

    Danstar Nottingham

    The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Notes

Attempt to clone Dark Lord Chocolate Malt above is actually 1 lb Chocolate 1 lb Pale Chocolate .5 lb Special B Flaked Barley above is 1.5 lb Flaked Barley 1 lb Flaked Oats Add rice hulls to mash (4-8 oz) Boiling for ~120 minutes to be able to run some sparge water through the grains Add DME/honey/molasses after fermentation has died down. Adjust DME amount if better efficiency is reached during main brew. Add 4 oz ground coffee to primary after fermentation is done (~ 4 weeks) let it set for 24 hours. Rack off trub/coffee into secondary, on to 4 oz of oak chips soaked in bourbon and vanilla beans. After 2 weeks rack again to take off vanilla and oak.

How did this turn out? When you break down the Chocolate Malt you say something about 1lb of chocolate. Is that chocolate malt or real chocolate?
