Been on a brewing kick here of late, this time brewing up a batch of Dry Irish Stout from a brew kit from Northern Brewer. This was a simple batch, with very few ingredients, just showing that it doesn't take much to brew a batch of beer.
Ingredients:
1 lbs. Simpsons Roasted Barley
6 lbs. Gold Malt Extract
1 oz. Nugget Hops @ 60 mins.
* 1 cup Brown Sugar
* Residue from this mornings Coffee in the French Press @ 15 mins.
1 Pkt. Safele S-04 Ale Yeast
* I can't leave well enough alone, so I went looking at what else I could throw into the mix.
Brew date: 11/23/09
Size: 5 gal.
O.G. 1.041 @ 80 = ~1.043
F.G. 1.016
Pretty straight forward batch of beer. Either the brown sugar or the coffee upped the specific Gravity a touch. Now it is all up to the yeast to make some beer out of sugar water.
Final Gravity to follow in a few weeks!
Notes: Wow, the wort on this beer is amazing. The coffee really comes through in the flavor. It is going to be a really dry stout and am excited for it to age a couple weeks in the bottle for carbonation. Should be good!
