This is a mess of a brown ale due to all the specialty grains, but I saw a forum that promised a huge, nutty flavor from this so I'll give it a try. I'm trying a couple of other new techniques so this is very different. I messed up at the LHBS getting the grains, so the roasted barley and chocolate malt should only be 0.1lb each instead of the 0.2lb each that I purchased.
I'll be cold steeping the specialty grains overnight. Boiling will be kept to a minimum, 5 minutes just for pasteurization. Also, I will not be chilling this whatsoever, just putting into the stainless steel fermentor after waiting a bit and then pitching yeast the next day.
Calculating IBUs based on a 30 minute addition as this is how long I will let the hops steep total.
Yeast Pitch is 92% Safale S-04, 5% Safbrew T-58, 3% Safbrew WB-06
Pours mahogany in color with barely any foam and Crystal clear. Aroma is a very nutty weather bread with some yeast on the back end. Flavor is wheat bread dominant with hints of walnut and a slight roasty/ash flavor. Body is medium and there's not much nucleation sharpness. Overall, this is damn close to a 5 star beer in terms of flavor but the carbonation and/or head retention is lacking. In the next iteration, I would add a little carawheat while reducing roasted barley a bit. 4 stars as this is a great beer.
