Babbs Mash Paddle Beer "chocolate Winter Warmer"

[Bribie G]

Just checked the rules Section 59, sub section (14) paragraph (j) reads "entries are not permitted from members who live outside of the Brisbane Council boundaries or have a AHB handle that is named after an island".

If you require further clarification in respect to the rules please wait 1 week until I have finished writing them.

Cheers

Paul

Anyone going to do a white wit?

Me, http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...st&p=591524

Just trying to work out the ingredients right now, apart from creamy and vanilla, and over 6% alcohol, I've got a few ideas I'm working on.

 

[Fourstar]

Obviously not a BABBS member so sorry for the intrusion.

Pfft... its not like two members are using a mexicans recipe 'for inspiration' or anything!?

:lol:

I think it's a nice interpretation and if you can pull it off, it will be a fantastic beer.

I must say I'm impressed with Wyeast 9093 - Imperial Blend, it has ripped through a 1.087 RIS down to 1.020 in 6 days . At 20 C! Now to give it a few days to clean itself and cold condition for a month or two.

 

[Bribie G]

Chap chap and Sully gave me a bottle of Samuel Smiths Yorkshire Brown Ale a couple of months ago and 4* sent me his famous hazelnut brown. I can feel something bubbling to the surface here, if I can stop SWMBO scoffing the Lindt every time I bring it home :unsure:

I've got some 1469 in training mode itching to go :icon_cheers:

 

[clarkey7]

I need to start thinking about this...... ....and soon!

Mothballs and I were brainstorming the other night.

Maybe a:

Imperial Triple, white chocolate, cappuccino, chocolate topping infused, Swiss Toblerone ESB

[The Scientist]

Some further ideas for you all:

-Choc Ice Bock (Eisbock)
-White Xmas in July (Imperial white choc and coconut Wit)
-Choc fondue Dunkel
-Milk Choc Stout
-Belgian Dubbel Choc
-Choc Fruit & Nut Roggenbier
-Coco by the fire (Choc Rauchbier)
-Choc chip cookie ESB

and so on...............

I've left my planned contenders off the list but I'm just adding chocolate to everything I brew at the moment to see what it turns out like. :chug:

 

[Bribie G]

At last July's case swap, Reviled from NZ came over and had a very noice dark beer with a port wine twang from a bottle of Penfolds Club poured in towards the end of fermentation. I'm thinking of doing that myself for a Christmas puddingey sort of flavour

Choc hazelnut thingy in primary right now. Surprised that the cocoa butter from the chocolate hasn't killed the krausen. frothing away as ever. :icon_cheers:

You almost picked mine Liam Added the first boiled sugar and 85% Cocoa chocolate to my effort this afternoon, went and checked it just now and I can hear it fermenting.........awesome.

Interesting....

I just brewed my winter warmer yesterday, to give it time to mature before its judged. I ended up putting 400g dark chocolate in the mash. With the 9.5kg of grain, it gummed up and sparging took a long time. Then, at the end of the boil, about 5 mins into chilling, I added 2 large Toblerones to the kettle. the chocolate melted, but the honeycomb didn't. Made a complete mess of my kettle. Milk fat and oils all over it. When I transferred to the fermenter it was totally gross with a big chocolatey oily film on top and a few floaties as well. the FG came out at 1.095, so it's gonna be a biggie! I'm planning on aging it on vanilla beans in secondary with some bourbon thrown in for good measure....

Cheers - Snow.

Nah I lack the creativity, I think it will be one of the full time brewers who'll take the title, although I wouldn't mind one of Brown Dogs mash paddles.

Yeah - this thought had crossed my mind. I can only imagine the mess they'd leave behind after seeing my kettle after just 2. But I figured there's no way I would win, so I thought "what the hey!".


Cheers - Snow.

Don't sell yourself short Snow, It could easily be a pearler.

Thanks Andrew. Don't know about a pearler, but it'll certainly be chocolatey! and very alcoholic.....

My choco RIS def needs some lactose to give it that creamy mouthfeel I was after, so another batch will be needed. Its amazing all the unwanted crap produced by bunging in some dark chocolate (375gm) - and other stuff

I was trying for that "velvety" mouthfeel, so I added 750g of rolled oatmeal to the mash. Interesting to see how it turns out, as I went for pretty high bitterness (74IBU).

Forgot damm it, I'd bought some quick oats about a month ago just for that purpose :angry: .

Just checked a choc stout. First time in this sort of territory for me. Couldn't believe the gooey, cruddy crap from that sucker. Its like a new born.Pound for pound, in and out.....brrrrr....horrible!.
Hope it tastes good ( like babies smell nice) with all that going on. :icon_cheers:
