Un-American refers to mostly imported ingredients; the core recipe was taken from Gordon Strong's Modern Homebrew Recipes, with local Cluster and Cascade hop additions and dark malt additions to give it a late-winter essence. I don't know if it can be called a 'Baltic Porter', it's a bit hoppy for that, but that is what I am aiming for...

Special Instructions
1.60 min. Mash with 20 min. rest. 30 min. Sparge, 90 min. Boil.
2.Sparge over the dark grains in a grain bag (Aromatic/CaraWheat/ChocoWheat/SmokedMalt/Carafa) on a bed of dried Redwood or Spruce branches (Sahti style).
3.Remove grain bag from Sparge and steep in Boil for first 30 min. to darken wort/utilize dark grains.
4.0.5 lb. Lactose added to Boil at 15 min. Also, add 8 oz. Belgian Chocolate.
5.I used Whirlfloc tablet at 15 min. instead of Irish Moss.
6.Flavor build: add any OR all of the following at 15 min. --> 30 bags Cocoa/Spice tea from Good Earth, 1 Cinammon stick, 1/4 vanilla bean, 6-10 Cardamon seeds, 2 T. dried Grapefruit peel, 2 T. dried Orange peel, 1 T. lemon peel.
7.YEAST: Windsor British style beer yeast, Saccharomyces cervisiae.
8.To really darken the beer, add 32 oz. of cold brewed coffee, 48 hrs cold steeped in fridge during bottling stage.
9.This is a large grain bill; you could re-Mash and grab another small batch from grain bill here.
Odd bottling. 1.024 is within range for a FG, doesn't 'taste' done though. Will not use lasctose again - have noticed clumping/cloudiness in last 2 batches which I attribute to lactose, since it is the only new ingredient. Taste is just 'okay' but the viscosity is weird, mouthfeel is 'doughy'. I hope for the best. Have to wonder if this was going to continue to slow ferment - this is day 15 however, and fermentation is done in 4 days, done done in 7 days with the Windsor British yeast.
