Looks nice screwy! B)

What treacle did you use? CSR or were you lucky enough to get some Lyle's Dark Treacle?

Abram Lyle & Sons Warren, from Coles Sunshine Plaze at Maroochydore, they have both the Golden Syrup and the Black Treacle. Haven't tried Coles here in good old Gumpy yet.

Stout is done and dusted... My wort looked like a giant espresso. :D Smell was rather similar.

Time for a pint.

I'd like a cup of that!


Thats done it, Choc Treacle Stout is next on the list, moved the Screwy's APA forward again. Dark and hoppy things seem to take preference lately, have been wanting to make an apa for months.

Woah. Nobody has posted in here for awhile.

I need to use up some loose misc bags of hops I'm probably not going to get around to using anytime soon. The plan is to brew this up today, ferment soon before it gets too hot and just age until winter. The recipe is going to look a bit strange because Im trying to use up some JW Vienna that I dont use alot and these random leftover hops in my freezer.

Loose FES
1.067
1.014
7.1%
80EBC
67 IBU

37.5% JW Vienna
37.5 JW Ale
10% JW Wheat
7% JW Chocolate
3% JW Roasted Barley
5% Cane Sugar (a few days into ferment)

Temp 63/68/72/78
Time 20/40/10/Raise Bag

Various and assorted hops of various AA%'s all vaccum sealed from the freezer since I had them (few years :blink: ). Adjusted with the beersmith hop age tool.

FWH to 50IBU - ish
Tettnang
Cluster Flowers
NZ Hallertau
Saaz
Cluster pellets

Northdown and Citra into the cubes to 17 IBU-ish. Only because theyre open and taste amazing.
Wyeast Greenbelt which is currently fermenting a 3.5% AAA.

Should be a good way to clear some stocks out and hoping it ages well. I'm amazed at how many hops I will still have left after this :blink:

Wanna get into a yearly routine where I brew a large batch of stronger stout and age for 5-6 months before every winter, and hold on to half of the batch and just bring some out every year to try, like my own vintage. :chug:
