What's going on everyone! Been really trying to produce recipes of my own this year, this is my first shot at a stout. The story behind the idea is the other night I was drinking a local bourbon barrel aged stout my boss gave me to try. It was great, I'm typically not too excited by stouts but this was really good. While drinking the beer my girlfriend was snacking on an orange her uncle's tree produced. With the fresh taste of the stout still lingering I had a piece of the orange. I couldn't believe how well the flavors paired and immediately thought this would be the next beer I'd try out.
So, here's the recipe I'm working out. It's really a combination of Martin Keen's milk stout recipe and the candy orange IPA from the Clawhammer folks.
5gal batch using the Anvil Foundry 10.5 @ 120v
8.5lbs 2 Row
1.25lbs Chocolate Malt
.75lbs Flaked Oats
.75lbs Roasted Barley
1lbs Lactose
400 g dark cane sugar and 400 g water to make a simple syrup to candy 3 oranges and 1 lemon worth of peels
Add candied citrus to fermentation after 3 days.
2 oz of EKG at 60.
What's everyone's opinion on the recipe? Also, does anyone have suggestions for yeasts to use? My LHBS does not carry Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale which is what Martin used in his milk stout. Thanks for all the help!
