Hi All
I've brewed various kits and partial mashes before but have just got myself a Brewzilla 3.1 to move into all grain. I brewed a Grapefruit IPA over the weekend and have a Dopplebock to do once the fermenter is free. After this I want to do something more interesting and was thinking a Chocolate Waffle Stout. I've never created a recipe before, so would like some help coming up with one. Here's what I've got so far:
Just to note, I don't have target gravity etc. I want a big, full bodied and sweet beer but I'm not particularly fussed if it's 7% or 12%
I was going to start with this recipe for a milk stout:
Mash for 1:15. I was thinking a higher temp for more body. 68-70 degrees?
2-row pale malt - 3KG
Roasted barley - 460g
Medium crystal malt - 340g
Chocolate malt - 500g (I've upped this from 340g)
Munich malt - 340g
Flaked Barley 280g
Flaked oats - 220g
In the boil:
Magnum 10g @ 60mins
Goldings 25g @ 10mins
Lactose 460g @ 10 mins
Yeast - Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale
I was thinking about adding the following for the Chocolate waffle aspect
Golden promise malt - what quantity would you suggest?
Chocolate syrup (fat free if possible) - Perhaps have to add to taste in secondary?
Steep 2TBsp fenugreek and 2 Vanilla pods in 1/2 cup of bourbon, add at bottling with maple syrup to carbonate.
Any thoughts? If anyone has a recipe for this, I'd love to see it. I couldn't find one, so would like to have a crack at it. Also, I'm not sure if all of this is available in the UK, so any substitutions would be appreciated.
