New Stout II - All Grain Recipe

by Jeff "The Freezer" Winter

 This is an excellent stout that Jeff brought with him to the Big Brew Day to share with us.  It has a very creamy mouthfeel and finishes quite nicely.  We asked him to send in recipe so we could get it out to the other members.  Thanks again Jeff and nice job!

Directions for All-Grain Recipe

Single infusion mash technique
 Mash grains with 4.9 gallons of water at 166°F for a target temperature of 155°F. Sparge with 3.2 gallons of water at 167°F.  Collect enough runoff to end up with 5.9 gallons before a 60-minute boil. Bring to a boil and add 2 ounces of the Goldings (Kent) hops. Boil for another 30 minutes and add the second hop addition.  Boil for an additional 15 minutes before adding the re-hydrated Irish moss.  After the 60-minute boil, chill and transfer to a fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate well.  Ferment at 65°F to 68°F for fifteen days.  Rack to keg, or add bottling sugar and bottle and allow to carbonate at 66-68 °F for two weeks minimum.

Carbonation
 Force carbonate at approximately 2 to 2.5 volumes of CO2.
