Hi every one,
Yes, Im harassing you guys and girls again for some recipe critiques and suggestions ..LOL
My 1st stout recipe I formulated yesterday. Recipe Goals: 1: Dark(not Tar like excessive) +Roasty+Smooth+Creamy+Semi Chewey like Rasputin Stout
2: Not Bitter or ashey or overly thick (see:1)
Grist reasons: 1: Golden promise: mellow wort, with a sweet, clean flavor Not Overly bready (I like malty but can be done excessively)
2. Crystal 60: sweet+caramel and borders very slightly to rasins + figish taste but not too much
3. American Chocolate: Nutty,Chocolaty+slight Smoky+Roastyness and Color
4. Flaked Barley: to provide the creamy texture without the perceived oilyness that OATS gives
5. Roasted Barley: Color adjustment and that smoky roast flavor
(for me too much Roasted barley takes on a grapey rootbeerish flavor) 6. Black malt: Roasty dark finish and too
provide some color with out using too much roasted barley (see:5)
*Note: Since i have no clue how to adjust water. My plan was to use a mix of spring water and RO water and maybe proportion my Ro water and spring water to account for PH...?
By the way, I do have the paper strips for PH checking (I Know I need meter, next purchase)Were do i need to have my PH levels for this beer? and what would be the simplest way for me to change it if I had too with the fact that all i know about water is that you drink it ..LOL
