Black Pearl Oyster Stout 2 (#91)
Dry Stout • All Grain • 5 gal
Oysters in beer? Sounds wierd, but this is my second batch of this. There is really no perseptable oyster flavor, just really smooth and round stout flavor to enjoy. Amazing! Mikey

Notes
Unwin Oyster Stout turned out great, but needs a little more hop balance, and I am trying whole oysters this batch. I really don't like or eat oysters, but the first batch turned out so good, I had to do another for a great upcoming beer festival. Organic 'Hallertau' listed is really Organic 'Saphire' Hops. Last 20 min of boil add 10 (scrubbed clean) whole oysters (cracked with brine). Use hardened filtered water. Ferment @ 68-70 F for 1wk. After fermentation is complete (~7days) reduce temp by 5 degrees/day until down to 40 F, lager at this temp for 1-6 wks before kegging.

This beer did spectacular at the brew festival, all 5 Gal were gone after only 50 min, serving 3 oz samples! A real winner.

The first batch was a little too sweet, added a little more hop bitterness this batch, it is just right now (unless your a hop head), easy to qualf a pint or two. Will present at Nov/09 beerfest in st. Pete, Fl (Cajun Cafe).
