So I built a recipe similar to those listed here. It has been in the primary for 8 days... Still have some airlock activity OG came in at 1.087.....
I am now looking for feedback on the spice tea and soak wood chips.
Thanks in advance.
I have secured some Smirnoff Marshmellow Vodka in wich I will soak my vanilla beans (2) and add capella graham cracker extract and a tiny touch of cinamon.... The stout I made is Chocolaty enough !! Also adding 4 oz or so of lactose.... see you in 5 weeks....
This beer is long gone.... had a couple of my tell me what you really think tougher critics say it was one of their favorite pumpkin beers they have tried...... including the guy at the home brew store...... 10 gallons was not enough....
White Labs WLP001 California .... made two batches dumping second batch on top of the first yeast cake..... came out great no off flavors from over pitching..... I may try WLP002 next time to keep a bit more sweetness....
Looks like I posted the ratio which was .812 ..... yep .... 45.1 Ibu's ..... but I am far from a hoppy fan.(Cant drink IPA's) and there is very little hop profile, just enough to to some what offset the sweetness...... beer taste awsome .....
Drinking this beer right now.... it is delicious ...... just the right spice with the graham cracker finish..... good thing I did a double batch........ !!
