I'm coming to a point in time where I will finally have some time on my hands. Studying for this CPA exam has really taken a toll on my brewing and my own personal free time.
So....to make up for lost time, here is what I have coming down the line:
All experimental
-100% BRS Pumpkin Extract- 1 gallon
-100% BRS Pumpkin Extract + Pumpkin Spices- 1 gallon
-Double Chocolate Oatmeal Stout (updated)-1 gallon
-Double Chocolate Oatmeal Stout with Chocolate Extract instead of powder- 1 gallon
-American Brown Ale (tweaked, 1 lb molasses)- 5.5 gallons
-American Brown Ale (original)- 5.5 gallons
The original ABA I am going to split in the following ways:
-1 gallon into secondary on vanilla
-1 gallon into secondary on oak
-1 gallon into seconday on coffee
-2 gallons as control versus the above experimental and 1 lb molasses brew
This is a ton of beer and since I don't keg, I really need to check to see if I have the bottles to cover this. For anyone else who thinks this is nuts, SWMBO is already on board for these brews :rockin:
For now, the plan is to brew the ones that don't require grain roasting first (both pumpkin ales) and then brew the last 4 once I get the grains roasted. I'll post my final recipes for these this coming weekend (my test is Friday) for feedback. The first brew should take place 10/30.
