BillO Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 This one is inspired by the White Rabbit Dark Ale. Steep in 10 litres @ 70c for 30 mins. \u2022 Caramunich 2 ( 500g ) \u2022 Carafa 3 ( 250g ) Bring to boil and add hops. \u2022 East Kent Goldings ( 60g ) @ 60 mins. \u2022 Cascade ( 35g ) @ 10 mins. Light Dry Malt Extract ( 2.3kg ) Dextrose ( 250g ) Top up to 23 litres. Nottingham yeast. Ferment @ 18c I also bottled 6 x 740ml bottles with a double shot of coffee in the bottle. I ran starsan through my coffee machine beforehand and sanitised as best I could. This has turned out a very tasty beer. If I had to change anything I'd probably just drop the dex. It doesn't need the extra abv at all, so it doesn't really add value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH1525226084 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 mmm yum - how're the coffee ones? We've had some debates on here about the best way to utilise coffee in a brew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillO Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've only tried one of the coffee ones. It'd been in the bottle a month and I must say it's delicious. I wanted a strong coffee flavour along the lines of Burleigh Brewings Black Giraffe. I went for a mild coffee roast so as not to overdo the bitterness. I used the mildest in this range Woolworths Macro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
