Storey Stout I haven't made a stout in 3 years. I'll bottle condition one keg and serve the other, just in time for Christmas. I made up this recipe. I don't want flaked barley, lactose, oats or any crap like that. I kept it simple. I went with a pound of crystal 90, because that is the only crystal I have on hand. As usual, the Beer Store can go fuck themselves. 14 Gallons 21 lbs. Canada Pilsner Malt 2 lbs. Carafa I 2 lbs. Carafa III 1 lb. Crystal 90 100 grams EKG - 60 min. 300 ml of Nottingham slurry ( pitched into two 6 gallon buckets ) O.G. - 1.050 F.G. - 1.016 % - 4.5 SRM - 42.7 BU - 29.6 FTBS

I finally bought some EKG pellet hops. I haven't used them in 3 years since the hop shortage. They went from here locally - $55.00 for 5 lbs. to over $200.00 for the same 5 lbs. I said, hell no, and switched to cheaper hops I could easily find. I think they are the best all around hop in the world. 15 Gallons 22 lbs. Canada Malt 1.25 lbs. Crystal 90 1.1 lb. Aromatic .75 lbs. Special Roast .25 lbs. Carafa Special I 88 g EKG - 60 min. 37 g EKG - 20 min. 36 g EKG - 1 min. 3 vials of WLPOO2 5 L starter O.G. - 1.046 F.G. - 1.014 % - 4.2 SRM - 11 BU - 30 *FTBS*
