I'm thinking of brewing a Tropical Stout type beer and would like to get folks opinions/suggestions on the recipe. I had a commercial brew last year called Motor Oil from Alvarado St. that was quite tasty that I would like to recreate. The issue with that is I'm working from memory and if I asked, they probably would have a hard time helping as it's one of those recipes that changes every batch.
I'd like to make something with a low roastiness, sweet and fruity with pineapple.
So here is what I came up with....
#4 Pale malt
#4 Marris Otter
#2 Caramunich II
#1.5 flaked Oats
#1 Simpsons DRC
#.5 Carafa II
#1 Dememera Sugar
.25 oz Magnum @ 60
2 oz BRU-1 @ flameout
1 oz Citra @ flameout
1 oz Sabro @ flameout
#2 lbs? Crushed Pineapple
2 Vanilla Beans
Considering Voss Kviek or 1318
SG = 1.070
ABV ~ 7.5%
The BRU-1 is pineappley and the Sabro is coconutty so there might be a little Pina Colada thing going on....
What do you think?
