be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

Subject: Stout thank you
Thanks to everyone who commented on my stout recipe. I think I've got it
worked out.
2 lb 2-row malt
8 oz black patent malt
8 oz chocolate malt
8 oz roasted barley
8 oz 120L crystal malt
2.2 lb dark liquid extract
1 oz Willamette hops, 60- min boil
1 pkt dry ale yeast
2 tbs baking cocoa at 30 min
1 qt strong black coffee in primary
I think this looks good. I know I was told put the coffee in the
secondary. I don't do secondary. In 23 years, I think I've done it
twice. I always try to keep things as simple as possible. It'll be a
partial mash of all grains, one hour, Brew-in-a-bag, 60 minute partial
boil, 4-gallon final volume.
I don't recall if I mentioned this before, but this recipe is for a
family competition. My son, my nephew, and myself are each brewing a
stout for St. Patrick's Day. My niece will judge the winner and use it
as an ingredient in her Irish stew for dinner that day.
I taught them to brew, so there's a lot at stake. ;)

Subject: Re: Stout
Joseph,
I agree with Darrell add your coffee flavour at bottling time. I use 6
spoons of Folgers medium roast coffee in a 4 cup coffee maker and then add
sugar to make my priming solution. This gives me a mild coffee aftertaste
without spoiling the roast barley flavour.
Scott is correct that you should use roast barley [I use up to 1 lb/5 gall]
but on enquiring how my local brewery gets a white foam head on their stout I
was informed that they use caramel colouring and crystal malt not roast
barley. Surprisingly you would never know - it tastes really good.
