brewing an Irish Stout

@PunkAss and I headed to Reno Homebrew this morning to purchase the ingredients for our morning's project. We decided on an Irish Stout last week when we went searching for a new recipe and to do some research.



The recipe was fairly easy and took about the same amount of time as the last one did. The kit was $30 plus $8 for yeast and contained the following:

• 2 oz. pkg Goldings hopps
• 6 lbs Amber malt extract
• 1.5 lbs Dark DME (Dry Malt Extract)
• 1 lb roasted Barley
• 1 lb flaked Barley
• 1099 Whitbread Ale yeast

Here are the steps we followed:

1. We sterilized the carboy, wort chiller, utensils and air lock
2. Warmed up the yeast and activated it



3. Boiled 6 gallons of water
4. Mixed the ingredients into the water
5. Tasted our previous beers, yum!
6. Cooked for 1.25 hours



7. Tasted more of our previous beers, yum yum!
8. Measured the initial alcohol content to set the baseline
9. Oxygenated the wort
10. Added the yeast
11. Set the airlock with Vodka and added Vodka to the brewers
12. Cleaned up the mess



13. Done
