Landlord.
My order of supplies including a second fermenting bucket arrived today so I'm brewing my Christmas Ale tomorrow.
Rob's Blackhouse Christmas Ale
Batch = 15 litres
SG around 1.075
Fermentables:
4.5 Kg Pale Malt
250g dark crystal malt
250g Black treacle
100g Peat smoked malt
100g Low colour chocolate malt
50g Black malt
Misc: Cloves, Cinnamon, Ginger
Hops:
25g Target cones 60 mins
30g Willamette cones 30 mins
IBU bitterness = 37
Yeast: Safbrew t-58
My romantic idea is to honour the Blackhouse...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackhouse
...which used to have a peat fire burning virtually 100% of the time.
Will be in the fermenter for four weeks and matured in the bottle for three months.
Phenol, spice, esters, caramel, a little bit of fruit from the hops. Could be a car crash
