Picaroon's Dark and Stormy Night

[matt_wolf]

Anybody taken a run at cloning Dark and Stormy Night?

I've got these two to go on so far-

The first one thanks to Dave S., but I dont' think he's actually made it yet

13 lbs. American 2-row
15 lbs. White Wheat Malt
1 lbs. American Chocolate Malt
1 lbs. American Caramel 60°L
0.75 lbs. Black Roasted Barley
2.50 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (Pellets, 4.50 %AA) boiled 60 min.

Yeast : Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05

Original Gravity 1.051
Terminal Gravity 1.012
Color 21.80 °SRM
Bitterness 19.1 IBU
Alcohol (%volume) 5.1 %

than of course there's the brewer's log-

Recipe: Grain: Organic Torrified Wheat, Organic Pilsner, Organic Caramunich, Organic Carafa, Organic Munich.
Hops in at start of boil and then at 20 minutes.

Obviously I'd be winging it in terms of grain proportions, but I'm thinking 45%, 45%, 3%, 3%,3% would get you close.

I'd go with the brewer's log - you can probably ditch the pilsner for 2-row and not lose much, as well as just using non-organic. I'd roll with 40/40/10/5/5.

Also, if you want it to be anything like Pics you'll need to trade the 05 for 04, or better still - ringwood. The 05 will be much cleaner and drier - the 04 is less attenuative, so leaves a little more sweetness that you need to balance.

Hop details, mash details, etc are all in the log, so just copy those - I'd guess about 1oz of Hallertau @ 60 and 1oz Tettnang @ 20 will see you right...

That's twice in one day we told this guy that there is a membership fee. Let's give it a rest for a while.

[Richard]

The thought did cross my mind

Members and non-members are all welcome in the public pages :-) Keep er comin matt.

How many gallons is this for?

The grain bill seems a little high for 10 US gallons.

Gents- I was under the impression that club membership was required to make use of club resources, such as the yeast bank, club equipment, group buys, club meetings.  As far as I understand, particiipation in a fourm is up to individuals. If you don't want to answer my questions, then don't.

I found this forum when Dave Savoie pointed me toward it. I've been a once annual brewer for 3-4 years. I'm finally getting to the point of brewing more frequently, and I'm pretty excited. I thought I would buy a membership if I end up in a position to use club resources.

Sorry to have offended anybody.

Forum is forum, club is club. The two are separate in function. Glad to have you here either way, matt.

Next person to tell him about the membership fee gets a Budweiser can for an avatar.

matt_wolf - I'm very interested to hear what you end up with for a grain bill if you go ahead with this, even more interested to hear how it turns out - pleased you're here either way... hope you post your results?

You've not offended anybody matt_wolf, it was a joke concerning Richard, making him out to be an automated beer analysis machine.
