No recipe Martin? Playing your cards for the WBC close to your chest are you?? I made mine about 2 weeks ago. Really looking forward to that comp.
Nah, just too lazy to post recipes these days! I think I've posted it before anyhow - search for my Shakespeare clone.
It's destined for the WBC comp and potentially the case swap too, depending on how it turns out and what else I have available at the time. I'm really happy with the way it's going so far - I had a real active starter and the ferment has kicked on really well. Beer is made in the fermenter, so I'm pleased.
Just finished mashing my American Stout. I've never brewed one before, so I'm just doing Jamil's recipe from Brewing Classic Styles.
You guys have probably had this before, but anyway here's the recipe. It's going to be my case swap beer too I think... I don't think anyone wants the other option, which is the parti-gyle bitter from my barleywine!
The only substitute I had to make was Warrior instead of Horizon for bittering. Don't think it'll make much difference.

Original Gravity: 1.074

Ingredients:
7 kg NZ 2-row
.35 kg Chocolate Malt
350 g Crystal 75
.45 kg Roast Barley
33.0 g Warrior (16.0%) - added during boil, boiled 60.0 min

Suffering withdrawal symptoms.
I've not brewed since 19 January this year
However, I have a starter of WLP001 nicely built up and ready for a brew day this week, probably on Wednesday.
Will post the recipe as the boil is happening.
Essentially to mimic historical UK brewing practices, because I'm using an old fashioned floor malted malt such as Maris Otter. I think it helps to produce clear wort, and improves efficiency. I did it after discussion with my usual supplier Marks Home Brew, and his experience is the same.
I have no concerns about and have never had issues with tannins, even though I regularly get over 90% mash efficiency. This batch gave me 99%.
