Vanilla (extract) - In Secondary (omitted from calculations)
Vanilla (extract)
Vanilla Beans have a sweet, perfumed aroma with a woody or smoky flavor. Pure Vanilla Extract has a similar aroma. To obtain Pure Vanilla Extract, cured Vanilla Beans are steeped in alcohol. According to law, Pure Vanilla Extract must be 35 percent alcohol by volume.
- 1 tsp
Irish Moss - In Boil (15 Min) (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Creamy Head, Smooth Bite

This is my second Stout that I have brewed, the first using my own recipe. I am very pleased with Stout. I've shared it with friends and the feedback is comparable to Guinness but with a bit more "bite". The English hops in the American Stout really go together well. The touch of vanilla pulls it all together with a smooth, warm aroma, and feel. Enjoy it. My friends and I are.
