I'm currently in the mode of burning through my PTO days before the end of the year and will be taking one Monday to brew 10 gallons. 

 

Need a few suggestions on what to brew....go!

Hoppy brown rye... Sounds really good to me.

Oatmeal porter

Imperial IPA.

Yep. I have made several fantastic hoppy ales with that yeast. Something boldly hoppy would be my recommendation.

I'm not big on IIPA's...anymore.  Although the hoppy brown got me thinking about a batch of Janet's Brown from one Mike McDole.  I haven't brewed that in years and just realized how much I missed it.

 

The Oatmeal Porter suggestion intrigues me as well.  Mind sharing a recipe?

I assume you mean vanilla bean?

no, coffee

[chadm75]

no, coffee

 

ooooooo, nice!

 

Do you just toss the whole beans in?  Soak them in vodka first? 

[neddles]

Extra Dark Chocolate?

[HVB]

I just add them to the keg in a SS bag or a SS dry hopping device.  Then I wait a few days and taste and see when it is ready.

 

Extra Dark Chocolate?

I guess it is just Dark Chocolate, I fixed the recipe - https://www.farmhous...lt-briess-1-lb/

Thanks, wasn't sure. I know the English chocolates can be pretty dark and have a bit of a different character, so I was curious. Looks like a nice recipe BTW.

Thanks, smells very nice right now.  Using 1450 with this one to so we will see, it is still going strong.
