Just popped into my first one. Best beer I've made to date, according to everyone who has tried it!
BIAB, 5 gal batch
10lb 2-Row
2lb White Wheat
1lb Black Patent Malt
1lb Crystal Malt - 150L
1lb Weyermann Roasted Barley 1Lb
1 oz. Mt Hood Hop Pellets (flameout)
1 oz Nugget Hop Pellets (FWH)
1/4 tsp. irish moss at flameout -15 min
1 vial Dry English Ale Yeast - WLP007 (.75L starter, 1.030 for 2 days)
OG 1.078, FG 1.011 @ bottling
Mashed @151 for 60 min (might bump to 153 next time) FWH w/ 1 oz nugget, add 1 oz mt. hood @ flameout. I let it sit in the primary for 2.5 weeks, then transferred to secondary for 2 weeks. I soaked 6 lbs of fresh wild blackberries in about 1/3 a fifth of jim beam for 2 days, then smashed them with a potato masher and poured them into a small mesh bag and let sit in the secondary for 2 days. The aroma is a slight hint of bourbon and roasty malt, head retention is moderate. Flavor starts out toasty and changes to a dry tartness with an awesome blackberry essence. This is the first brew that has turned out how I wanted it, thanks to all here who have provided knowledge!
