Anyone have a good allgrain recipe for this beer, or at least an allgrain recipe for a brilliant stout?
 
Try this
I used a few leftovers to clear out some old grains etc.
A very nice Stout and you will not be dissapointed.

Thank Ray, but I'm planning on doing the mashing and sparging out of an 18 litre pot, so the grain amount is just a bit too much.
 
reduce the grain mass to the level you are happy with (keep the % the same as ray, and reduce the volume also) and i would imagin the hops sould be reduced all the same

eg half batch = half hops and grain

sounds good ray and if ya think its a nice stout similar to a coopers i might give it a go also (mate loves the stuff)
 
what problem ;) sounds even better. better than the Mega swill black water most claim as a stout

thanks ray, i will add that to the "to brew list" ....
 
I have a part mash stout, using the Coopers Stout Kit that I'm pretty happy with...
The pre-boil volume is about 10L and I top-up the fermenter to achieve 23L of brew.
It's the first time I've used Carafa I in lieu of Pale Choc Malt, and in my opinion, is a much better grain for this style - I found the Carafa I a lot smoother and allowed the choc / raisin / grain notes to come out rather than the harsher grain based bitterness that I was getting from the TF Pale Choc malt.
Here's the recipe:

Notes
-----
There are additional hops in the beer due to adding the 1.7Kg Coopers Stout Kit after flameout at the end of the boil. I ladled the grains into a large colander over a collection bucket and sparged with 72C water to rinse grains - repeated several times and gathered 8L of wort. Topped up kettle to achieve pre-boil volume of 10L.
Actual Post Boil SG was 1.052 for 23.2L.
FG was 1.011 after 3 weeks.
Bulk Primed with 100g of Dextrose (approx 2.0 Volumes) and bottled.

I've submitted this brew to the ACTABC but it may not score well as it's so green and recent tastes show good body but the head is yet to develop in the bottle - the Stouts are being judged later this week, so if you hear of a poisoning in the ACT on Thursday, you know who to blame! ;) Ah, well, it's my first comp!! :)

Cheers,
TL
 
better post feedback
 
Oh yeah, I can see it now...What with Christoph, BrBrAle, Mike Day, Kurtz etc, I'll be lucky if they even get to open my bottle!!
