Dry Irish Stout

 This is my second attempt at this beer.  It came out quite well and I got a lot of positive reviews.  This continues to be one of my most popular beers.

GRAIN

GRUIT

7# Maris Otter

1 oz Target

2# Flaked Barley

 

1.25# Roasted Barley

YEAST

 

Wyeast 1084

PROCESS:

  1. CLEAN AND STERILIZE EVERYTHING.
  2. Heat 15 quarts water to 165 F and add to grain in mash tun (goal temp 150-152 F)
  3. Mash for 60 minutes.
  4. Sparge with 170 F water while draining wort into kettle.
  5. Boil wort.  WATCH FOR HOT BREAK.
  6. Set countdown timer for 60 minutes.  Add Target.
  7. At 10 minutes add Whirlfloc.
  8. At 0 minutes turn off heat and cool to 65 F.
  9. Check starting gravity.
  10. Add yeast.  Place in primary fermentor and apply airlock.
  11. Ferment at ~69 F for 2+ weeks.
  12. Keg and pressurize to 10 PSI.
  13. Share and Enjoy!
Of particular interest is that, unlike the Pilsen, this beer should NOT go into secondary.
