Ha! whoops. Definitely had that saison get cross contaminated with some brett when I sent it off for competition. I held a bottle back the same day they were doing judging. Knew it right when I popped the cap and smelled it. Oh well. Still a really drinkable beer, just the brett dinged me hard on style guidelines. Here is the scoresheet if anyone is interested. LINK

Hell I don't know, an IPA? a Stout? Something you've already brewed before just in all grain form so you can tell if you did a good job?

My first AG batch was a basic amber ale I had brewed many times. Pretty simple malts and low hops.

Our first was our grapefruit rye IPA. Had issues hitting temps and with grains getting under the false bottom. Aggravating.


Ross. Get some extra DME and make sure you can check your gravity. Also, lean on the high side when mashing in. Always seems like you don't account for something and temps can be screwed up.

Imperial Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout (All Grain)

I brewed this recipe for Zapps last year. It was a fun beer and turned out really well.

Batch Size: 6 Gallons
Target OG: 1.080
Target SRM: 44
Target IBU: 44

Mash @ 152 for 60 minutes

Grains:
11.5 lbs US 2 Row
3 lbs Flaked Barley
12 oz Chocolate 350L
12 oz Pale Chocolate
8 oz Crystal 80L
8 oz Special B
8 oz Roasted Barley
6 oz Crystal 60L

Hops and Boil Additions
.75 oz Magnum 14.7aa @ 60 minutes = 39.4 IBU
1 oz Cascade 6.10 aa @ 10 minutes = 4.4 IBU
8 oz Cocoa Powder
8 oz Lactose

Secondary:
1 lb PB2
8 oz PB2-Chocolate
2 Vanilla Bean Scrapings

Yeast:
Wyeast 1028 London Ale

Notes:
I really wanted more peanut butter flavor in this beer than I ended up with. It was there, but it was faint behind the chocolate and roast flavors.

Since brewing this I've read some brewers who have had success in getting a more pronounced peanut flavor by adding between 1 and 1.5 lbs of crushed unsalted Valencia roasted peanuts to the secondary. I will probably try this next time.

Tasting Notes: Bretty nose with nice citra hop aroma, taste bright, tart, slightly bretty fruity with hint of yeast spiciness and dry finish. Brett comes through more in the nose than in the palate, certainly not the barnyard funk that most people associate with brett.

0.25 Belgian CaraMunich

0.5 oz Citra @ 20
