So I Came across this recipe last night, and thinking about giving it a go.
Only thing that concerns me is the 3.5 lbs of corn sugar which seems excessive. I mash in a 5 gallon beverage cooler so this recipe is a great way for me to brew a big stout without needing a bigger mash tun.
Thoughts on such a high sugar content, wouldn't this dry out the stout a little too much?
Dublin XXX Stout
Author: BYO Staff
Issue: Mar/Apr 2008
1879 Dublin XXX Stout
(5 gallon/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.086 FG = 1.015
IBU = 87 SRM = 55 ABV = 9.1%
A large stout, what today would be called a foreign extra stout, was made in Dublin in 1879. Most assuredly, there would also be a little sourness brought on by Brettanomyces, giving this beer a finishing acidic twang.
Ingredients
10.25 lbs. (4.7 kg) British 2-row pale malt (2-row)
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) crystal malt (75 °L)
1.5 lbs. (0.68 kg) roasted barley
3.5 lbs. (1.6 kg) corn sugar
10 AAU Fuggle hops (120 mins)(2.0 oz./57 g of 5% alpha acids)
10 AAU Fuggle hops (60 mins) (2.0 oz./57 g of 5% alpha acids)
2.0 oz. (57 g) Fuggle hops (10 mins)
Fermentis Safale S-04 yeast
