14 lbs US 2-row

5 lbs Rye Malt

0.75 lbs C75

0.25 lbs C120

1 lbs chocolate wheat

0.75 lbs roasted barley

 

mash @ 150F

30 min boil

 

2 oz nugget @ 30 min

1 oz mt hood @ 5 min

2 oz mt hood @ 0 min

 

ferment with 1450

 

SRM: 33

OG: 1.055

I would drink it!

 

What about water?

I wish I had my recipe in front of me as it turned out really good and got a ribbon at a comp. But looking at yours I think it will be great, maybe some flaked barley?

Morty, that looks good as written.  As matt said, some FB might be good, but otherwise, we'll need to see some pics of your completed work.

I was waiting to finalize the grains but likely I'll get my sulfate up around 40 or 50 and my chloride up the 80-90 ppm range.  we'll have to see how much acidification I need though.

all I have right now is flaked wheat and flaked oats and I was hoping to avoid a trip to the LHBS.

had to change slightly.  replaced 1lb of rye with wheat (ran out of rye).  I also replaced 10 oz of the chocolate wheat with carafa III b/c I again ran out.  really cleaning out bin on this one!

I must have measured something wrong on the grain or things just went really well.  91% system efficiency???  might be a new record for me.

Damn! Jealous of that, mine was not as good Saturday.

yeah.  I can't explain it.  I'm usually high around 80% for a beer like this.

down to 1.014 right now.  I think it still has a little to go though since I had some froth/foam on the top of my hydro sample.  tastes good though.  def some rye character coming through.

[positiveContact]

finished at 1.012.  I kegged it the other day and its carbed now.  super smooth with a nice dense tan head on it.  this is exactly what I was hoping for.

I'm not sure if it's the chocolate wheat or the rye or what but it has a nice feeling in my mouf.

Sounds like a cool beer.  I need to brew one again.  And I have no idea which recipe you were referring to in the OP.  Doesn't matter though.........  Just glad you made what you wanted.

the grain bill is actually not far off from yours.  I guess it sounded good to me

 

I did go in a different direction with the hops.

Nice, I'll have to see if I made any more tasting notes - doubtful.  Good old Cascades - I still use them a lot.

~20% rye + 1450= Full and smooth mouthfeel

FTFY.

yeah, would not have expected rye to work this well in a stout.  i'm glad some of you pushed me in this direction.
