Recipe Notes:

Add 1.5 Gallons of filtered tap water to 20qt pot and heat to 165*F turn off heat and add grains and steep for 30min.

Remove grains, add LME, Malto-dextrin, Lactose and bring to rolling boil.

Add hops for 15min boil, then add Irish moss boil for 5 min longer and add coco boil for 10 min.

Remove from heat, now place in ICE bath until temp reaches about 70* F.

Pour cooled WORT into fermentor, add water to the Bottom "Quart" on LBK and stir well.

Take OG sample, aerate well and pitch yeast.

Batch Notes:

*** The coffee and the raspberry are added at batch botle priming time ***

Again I ended up under temp at pitch time, I guess better than high.

OG = 1.071 @ 62*F

FG = 1.034 @ 64*F

ABV = 4.6%

October 2, 2011

Batch primed with 55g Booster for about 2.2 C02

Added 2 Tablespoons pure vanilla and 2.75 Tablespoons Raspberry Extract to finish the flavor profile.

The stout already had a roasted cooffee flavor from the barley so skipped the Espresso since I was affraid it would make it too bitter.

I got 23 (12oz) bottles and 1 (16oz Swing-top) plus about 3 oz to taste

First Pour

The stout was way sweeter than I expected, when bottling I skipped the coffee since was pretty bitter, now I wish I added it.

The Raspberry tasted like Mix-berry and the coco was very light.
