Hi all
I am going to cross over to the Darkside next week (tuesday) :party: :party: . The mash tun is now pseudo shinney with its silver bubble wrap coat . I will be doing Aleman`s Effin Oatmeal stout. I have adjusted the recipe slightly to increase the OG.

Colour: 126 EBC
I thought I would try and and make an elderberry stout with 2 gallons of the above. I tried this clicky a few years ago. I noticed that it says the the grain bill included roasted oats and barley which fits with Alemans recipe. Also I believe brambling Cross has a blackcurrant and spice flavour which I thought would go well with the elderberry.
There isn't much out there on elderberry stout but I did find this clicky so I am going to add the juice from 200g of elderberries per gallon. I plan to add this post boil. I was going to crush the berries to extract the juice and then boil to sterilize. I may also add some demerara sugar or dry malt extract to increase the OG I would like these to be 6-7%. I am only doing 2 gallons just in case it turns out kak :sick: . Only problem if I enjoy it I will have to wait until 2011 to brew it again
Has any one tried making elderberry stout or fruit beers? I would be grateful for some input.
Cheers
