AG#12 Blackberry Stout

[james1988]

On Sunday I decided it was time to get another brew on so I decided to make up 22L of Blackberry Stout. The recipe I came up with, with help from the forum is pasted below.

I ended up with 22L of Beer at a starting gravity of 1062 @24c, missing my target gravity of 1062 before the addition of the Blackberries.

Blackberry Stout

Original Gravity (OG): 1.062 (°P): 15.2
Final Gravity (FG): 1.016 (°P): 4.1
Alcohol (ABV): 6.09 %
Colour (SRM): 22.0 (EBC): 43.3
Bitterness (IBU): 30.5 (Average)

5.100Kg - 79.15% - Pale Malt
499g -7.71% - Flaked Barley
313g - 4.84% - Chocolate
290g - 4.44% - Amber Malt
250g -3.86% - Roasted Barley

45g - 2 g/L Bramling Cross (5.1% Alpha) @ 35 Minutes (Boil)
37g -1.1 g/L Fuggles (5.7% Alpha) @ 90 Minutes (Boil)


Single step Infusion at 68°C for 90 Minutes. Boil for 90 Minutes

Fermented at 22°C with Safale S-04

1.5Kg Blackberries, boiled, mashed and strained. Added in to FV.

My boiler cut out 55 minutes in to the boil so I steeped the Bramling Cross for 35 minutes and threw in some Irish Moss anyway. Hopefully, it'll be alright but I'm not holding out much hope.
