Holy Carp! It actually looks like stout!

[JonM]

Nice job! I've been trying to work tuna in all day somehow.

Didn't get the opportunaty?

 

[FatherJack]

This is a fun thread, but I should get off my bass and do some real work...

 

[g-love]

Holy mackerel! You guys are still going at this?

Yeah, looks like we're still angling for some more puns that can be caught...

 

[BigfootCounty]

Let minnow how it tastes.

 

[dorklord]

Wow, I didn't really this post would have this kind of legs, even WITH the fish reference. (Which was intentional, btw, a buddy of mine used to always say holy carp.)

On topic, this was a bit of an unusual recipe. I didn't have the best of luck with my roasted grain for my last stout attempt, or the other 2 beers I tried it in. So I took a different route:

Steeped 1 lb of GF rolled oats (I tried to toast it in the oven first, but I don't think it was in there long enough to do much more than get warm).

3 lbs sorghum extract
1 lb cooked honey (black)
2 lbs cooked sugar (burnt).
4 oz maltodextrin
1 oz Fuggles
4 gallon boil (turkey fryer)
Yeast: S-04

At bottling time, we bottled most of it as usual, but when we were down to the last little bit in the bottom of the bucket, we added a cup of coffee, so we got I think 12 bottles of coffee stout. I've tried one of those, it wasn't bad (except being undercarbonated).

I've relocated all my recently bottled beer (this and a batch of Dubbel) to a room with an electric heater, and I'm trying to keep it above 70 for a couple weeks so it will hopefully finish carbonating.

As for not being well qualified, I've never had a stout before. I tried a sip of Guinness once, many years ago...

Now to figure out how to make Lager over the holidays...

Oh, and when I say we burnt the sugar, I mean we really cooked it. It tasted like dark chocolate and looked like tar. I thought it actually tasted a little too burnt.

The honey we cooked until it was the consistency of caramel, it was a little darker, and it tasted like a nice mix of caramel and honey. I should have taken pictures. Maybe I did and I can't find them.

Thanks to the original poyster for sharking his recipe!

 

[beowulf]

It sure does look pretty perched up on that table...I'm sure it'll turn out just fine.

 

[dorklord]

Oh, I somehow forgot the oats! I edited the original recipe to reflect the steepage of the rolled oats.

 

[Satisfaction]

Thanks for sharing! I am always sea urching for innovative GF recipes.

 

[D_Ranged_Eskimo]

It's always great to sea horsing around on these boards！

 

[paulster2626]

I see the fish-related comments have really scaled back.

 

[FatherJack]

It's hard to believe that one little perceived typo could spawn so many funny replies...

 

[carltjones]

Not usually into GF but that looks like a barracuda actually like.

Bwaaaah Nice!

 

[Jerryskids]

Crap. I thought the replies were home brewing terms on how to make a great stout. You had me hook, line and sinker.

I'm definitely going to try this one for some GF family members. I'm going to try it with Belgian Abbey II, with all that sugar is screams Tripel to me.

Fish joke.

Well you're no fun. What do you think your net ABV will be for this one? Thanks for bumping this to the top, it kind of sank to the bottom there for a while.

I was actually thinking that for my next Dubbel, I'd do the same fermentables but swap the yeast and hops. This definitely turned out a lot darker than my last Dubbel.

 

[Pdeezy]

I smelt these puns coming from a mile away.

 

[SenorPepe]

jesus, people, this thread is still going??





Just when it was starting to flounder, too.

No one can think of another thread to pike on.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Something is fishy about the OP.

He could have bottled raNCID FISH BLOOD And it would look the same.

 

[Pilgarlic]

I'd call this a dead fish bounce.

 

[jump_xiii]

I never thought I'd find such a grouper like minded soles on a home brew forum. I've already learned so much- like being in school! Shoal I go on or reel this one in?

 

[PintoBean]

This thread walleye got out of control

 

[smokenjoke]

Yeah, I'm laughing so much it's hard tarpin on the keyboard.

 

[smokenjoke]

In defense of the OP, muskee really have to read all this carp?

 

[passedpawn]

The OP comes in here with good intentions, excited about making a good beer, and you all hammer him with juvenile jokes because of a misspelling. I hope you have enjoyed yourselves, at his expense.

You are all so shellfish.

I agree. We should play Taps on the bluegill and put this to bed.

Don't get all clammed up over a few clever jokes! Besides, the OP set this voyage in motion!

 

[H-ost]

Ok I wanted to throw my line in here before we all outgrow this fish bowl and this thread goes belly up. I feel like a lot of the puns have been cast toward the rocks and we might have caught a snag. I'm not saying we otter spawn a new school of thought but its a finny thread so lets keep running up river and come up with salmon more.

All this fish talk has me seaing starfish...

 

[smokenjoke]

OK. Halibut we quit being so sailfish and stop sturgeon the pot.

 

[Aschecte]

This thread has gotten very roughy.

Thought I'd haul this oldie up from the seafloor. Good times. One of my favorites. You guys are wacko.
