I have a recipe I've put together based on my best assumption of a local offering. They list on the can what grains they used, though of course not in what qtys nor if that is all they used. Based on an American Stout I made recently that has a similar grain bill, I have put this together. Looking to see if this should produce something of a an imperial sweet stout with an ABV approaching 11% (the original is 11.3%, I don't necessarily need it quite that high). This is a 5.5G batch.
22# (80%) - 2-Row
1.5# (5%) - Chocolate Malt
1.5# (5%) - Crystal 80
1.5# (5%) - Flaked Oats
0.5# (2%) - Black Patent
0.5# (2%) - Roasted Barley
I am on the fence about the Lactose and DME...needed or not?
1# - Lactose
1# - DME, Traditional Dark, Briess
- - - - -
27.5# total grains
Mash @ 152 for 75 minutes.
Using a mash efficiency of 65%.
And for hops:
2 oz. Magnum (or Warrior) @ First Wort
3 oz. Cascade for last 20 min.
Yeast: Safale US-05 (2 pkgs)
Without the lactose or DME I get an OG of 1.106 and FG of 1.026
ABV of 10.5% (std) or 11.8% (alt)
IBUs of 84
SRM of 55
For the Coconut, planning on 0.2-0.4 lbs/gallon of shredded unsweetened toasted coconut added in final days of fermentation. Probably will also add some vanilla beans.
