Hop Back Entire Stout (1st Mini Extract brew)

Post by WishboneBrewery » Sat Apr 11, 2009 7:13 pm

Thanks to:
http://www.hopandgrain.com - for the AG recipe.
Graham Wheeler's book and Beer Engine software - for helping me work out a small batch.
http://www.barleybottom.com for the Hops and Grain malts.

Just finished the boil, going to leave it overnight to cool down, sanitize and chuck it in Demi's in the morning. (Will update here in the morning)

It goes like this:
Hop Back Entire Stout - 5-Litres

Dried Malt Extract Pale: 725 grams (Actually used 500g Light DME and 225g Medium DME)
Crystal Malt: 32 grams
Chocolate Malt: 32 grams
Roasted Barley: 32 grams
Black Malt: 18 grams (not called for but I needed to up the colour with something)

Challenger: 90 mins 10 grams
East Kent Golding: 15 mins 4 grams

The Ingredients:

The Spray Malt Dissolved:

The Colour Change after Grains and Hops added, nice boil going on:

I'll probably use So4 yeast, but I have some Geordie lager kit yeast that wants using so I might use that :)

Final Volume: 5 Litres
Original Gravity: 1.055
Final Gravity: 1.015
Alcohol Content: 5.3% ABV
Bitterness: 41 EBU
Colour: 171 EBC

*Update*
So4 used
Got a bit less than I wanted and nearly 10 points higher gravity, wonder if it will go off like rocket through the bubbler!

Looks good, I would use the S04 and throw the geordie yeast away.

I have stout on the cellar floor again now but the Demi seems to be keeping the liquid in better than a bucket! So far! [-o<
