Foreign Extra Stout

Stout - Foreign-Style Stout
All Grain

Brewer's Notes

I believe this is still a foreign extra stout. I have played with the recipe so much that it's now nothing like the original. However, after all the experimenting, I am quite happy with the recipe that I am posting here. Also it came out black, I don't know why the colour on the DB is lighter than that. Oh well...

What yeast did you use?

 

[peas_and_corn]

I can't remember. It would do all right with an english style ale yeast.

 

[Stuster]

Are there supposed to be two caramalts in the grain bill?

 

[peas_and_corn]

I think it's such a good grain that it needs to be mentioned twice.

Cheers for the pointer.
