A tinkered clone of Oak Barrel's Black Death Stout Kit...the plan is to make a BIG brew, then split off 2 gallons and use a different yeast, possibly English Ale/Porter yeast - see 'clone' recipe for the 2 gallon build.
Flaked Wheat = cereal, toasted; Roasted Barley-Us = Roasted Purple barley, needs milling; other dark grains need milling too...adding 4 sprigs young redwood branches to give it a holiday twist.

Special Instructions
1.Mash light grains (2-row, Flaked wheat, barley, rice hulls) 45 min. @155 F, then add dark grains 30 min at end of Mash.
2.Batch sparge, 20 Min. Start boil. If not dark enough, move dark grain into first 20 Min. of Boil.
3.Add extracts/sugars at 30 min. Hops: FWH, 30, 15.
spiciness of belgian yeast comes through, hops are on the nose but not overwhelming, coffee undertone present. Added 32 oz. cold brew Peets Decaf during bottling. Hop sock worked well. Only problem: I could not get last 1/2 gallon out, trub was very loose...and I added 3 T. maple syrup as I was targeting 5.5-6 gal. for bottling. May turn out slightly overprimed. Sanitized and baked all the bottles though...
Comments
Thought: Mash in the lighter grains (2 row, crystal,munich), then Mash in darker grains right before sparging. Leave each set in their own bag (LRG then SM) and add to boil temporarily (John Herreid trick)
