Forgot to add that you may want to alter your grain amounts to the original posters recipe percentages.The recipe i posted is as with % at 68.6 pale 10.7 choc 8.6 roast barley 6.4 crystal and 5.7 rolled oats.You will have to muck around with your grain amounts depending on what you have to suit.

Cheers

Thanks alot Sam (your cloning the Shakespeare was what made me check it out in the first place!) and Big D for your help, I think I've found something to pitch onto a 1318 cake. All the yanks recommend Chico (1056) if you can't get pacman... as they would. By style it's a sweet, or english stout, so I'm happy to use an english strain.

Big D - I get my grists weighed/crushed fresh from the LHBS, not the cheapest way, I know, but at least I've got flexibility.

I completely screwed up an IPA last night, CJ's Broken House IPA (which I've tried personally )... it's the last time I try to get the last fumes out of a gas bottle whilst endeavouring to get excessive boiloff.

Recipe was a variation as I couldn't get Belgian Pale malt, so I substituted Golden Promise for a laugh.
21L batch
2.2kg Bairds Maris Otter
2.3kg Bairds Golden Promise
0.4kg Weyermann CaraPils
0.2kg Crystal 65L (CaraVienna)
0.2kg Crystal 55L (English)

14g Cascade 60mins
20g Northern Brewer 60mins
50g Centennial 20mins
60g Centennial flameout

Target OG 1.062 and approx 62IBU

Somehow I managed to have too much preboil volume (4L) so needed to increase boil intensity but with gas running low wasn't able to achieve it. Ended up with OG 1.050 This is going to be one hoppy beer.

I also decided to try using my CFWC in a similar arrangement to Jamil's whirlpool chiller but it couldn't bring the temp down fast enough for my liking so I ran it as it was intended into my fermenter. Unfortunately the whirlpooling action stirred up a shitload of hop debris and break, so I left the fermenter to stand overnight, transferred to another fermenter and pitched a slurry of British Ale II from a recent APA. With all the farting around, I didn't end up finishing until after 3am

I'm never going to risk a low gas bottle on a boil again, it can be reserved for HLT duties only.

For those who don't buy BYO (and I'm probably the only one here), could someone post the receipe? The website only has American IPA's listed ATM.

Sure Duff, here she is:
19L batch
6.4kg MO
0.28kg Crystal 40
16.1 AAU Northern Brewer 90mins (65g @7%AA)
28g EKG 10mins
28g EKG flameout
28g EKG dry

WLP023 (Burton Ale)

67-68C mash for 60-90 mins.
90 min boil with bittering hops added after the first foamy head subsides
pitch at 21C

Enjoy! :super: [edit=spelling]

Rogue Shakespeare-esque Stout

17L, 1.062, 72IBU, 45.5SRM

3.7kg (74%) Joe White Ale
0.4kg (8%) Bairds XXX
0.4kg (8%) Bairds Choc
0.4kg (8%) Rolled Oats
0.1kg (2%) Bairds Roast

FWH 40g NZ Cascade (whole, 8.2%AA)
20min 30g NZ Cascade
5min 20g NZ Cascade

Wyeast 1318
Mash 66C 90mins

I get pretty low utilisation of hops, hence the big numbers, from experience 70IBU's calculated will taste more like 50IBU's, maybe less now that I'm using a sock.

Not sure whether to file it under sweet or oatmeal... or both.

That looks like a nice grain and hop bill hughyg.
Would like to hear your feedback on how the adjuncts
go in a Belgian Pale. I brewed a Belgian Pale once and added
almost 10% sugar. Combined with the Wyeast 1388 it turned
out bone dry, I still have 3/4 of a keg left and that is now
16 months old

Let us know how yours goes! :beer:

Hey big d, the name doesn't imply that at all mate but I like your way of thinking :lol: !

My young son shat on the floor whilst i was trying to mash-in so I was called into action! h34r:
And it was mashed at 66C and I'm not talking about the turd!!

Definately, D. I'll have it bottled by BBD @ Kooks, though i can almost say for sure it won't yet be carbonated. They look like they'll be quite different beers, it'll be an interesting comparison. We might have to send a bottle each to Sam in Canada to see how we measure up! Have you tried the Rogue, or just heard of it's grandeur (as I have)?
