Batch 12

Time for a nice winter stout. I'm going to call it the Dizzy Lizard Big Black Stout. We'll see how it goes.

• 2 cans (6.6 lbs) Light LME
• 1 can (3.3 lbs) Dark LME
• 1 lbs Chocolate malt
• 8 oz Roasted barley
• 8 oz Coffee Malt
• 8 oz Crystal 90 malt
• 12 oz Dextrine malt
• 1 oz spalt hops
• 1 oz golding hops
• 1 tube white labs WLP 037 Yorkshire Square Ale Yeast
• 5 oz priming sugar

Brought ~2 gallons of water to 160F. Added grains and soaked for 45 minutes. Added about a half gallon of water to adjust volume. Returned to heat and brought to 180F. Added LME and brought to 190F. Added golding hops and started 1 hour timer. At 10 minutes, added spalt hops. Cooled in a sink of cold water to 98F. Added cold water to 5 gallons, pitched at 75F.

IG: 1.082 @ 75F = 1.084 @ 68F
