How to Brew a Chocolate Strawberry Stout

[Music] who doesn't like chocolate covered strawberries it's delicious of course i like chocolate covered strawberries hopefully this beer is a beer version of a chocolate covered strawberry oh wow oh yeah it's been a while rachel you missed almost missed all the upgrades it really did it's kind of nice to leave though and not have to do anything and then come back and it's just here for me it's ready that's kind of how i feel i show up and i'm like convenient for me this looks way cooler [Music] we're going to mash it 150. 150. so we use 10 and a half ounces of golden promise you can use any base malt really doesn't matter a pound and a half of flaked oats we ended up having a little bit more in our bag so we just tossed it all in not a big deal we added eight ounces of chocolate malt eight ounces of chocolate rye malt and eight ounces of crystal extra dark it's almost like a porridge at this point like i'm making stew for everybody at school i hope you keep this entire section in the video it's just like 10 minutes of emmett just rambling rambling and stirring a soup [Music] [Laughter] gotta open the ball valve sneak a peek scald yourself 5.78 so we got a little uh citric lactic acid get our that'll drop the ph a little bit [Music] it's better that's in the range it's down point two yeah that's good so we probably aren't drinking out of the right glasses here rachel but i think they look cool i think they do too it looks uh looks really nice nice head on it this is on nitro as well so it's on nitrogen oh man i even get the strawberry in there it just smells delicious it smells like dessert [Music] put in our hot basket here today we have a 60 minute boil one ounce of magnum hops that's our only addition we're adding those at the beginning of the 60 minute boil i set the alarm for 55 minutes so with five minutes left we'll add the cacao and the lactose for five minutes and then we'll chill and finish to finish the brew day with some strawberry puree do you drink a lot of stuff i don't drink a ton of stout but when i do i really enjoy it i can't drink a lot of it and i typically i really like coffee stout and i just love those like rich kind of like nutty chocolatey it really does it tastes like dessert to me yeah i mean who doesn't like dessert oh my gosh my poor body double i just wish rachel would come back rachel just okay i just have to fix this where's her arm i like this t-shirt though she needs to be let out of the shadows [Laughter] what are you doing i'm trying to fix her so she doesn't look like a yeah that kind of ticks all the boxes that i was kind of looking for it's crazy how much complexity you get from those darker malts those roasty dark chocolate notes just a little bit of that strawberry subtleness to come through now we did use a little bit of the cacao the cocoa nibs right so a cacao is is basically the raw unrefined version of um a like a cacao berry so if you roast this it becomes cocoa but this is just like the most raw version of chocolate that you can buy our 60 minute boil is done we're gonna add our four ounces of cacao nibs and a half pound of the lactose we we're gonna add a waffle tablet um but i forgot so we didn't i think our plan is chill it transfer it to the fermenter and then just add the strawberries right strawberry maybe give it a little shake give it a shake and then pitch the yeast and call it get it sounds good [Music] and to pump in pump out to work in we're gonna open the ball valve you guys ready for some pump action ready so our beer is chilled down to 71.2 degrees and now we're transferring it into the fermenter we're gonna ferment this wort with dry english ale yeast wlp007 and we'll let it ferment for seven to ten days so we got three pounds of the organ fruit fruit puree strawberry active ingredients strawberries [Music] i'm not expecting an artificial in your face strawberry but like i think it'll be subtle enough to go with that chocolate that it should be it should be fairly nice and you get that it's like that strawberry comes in for me at least i'm like last like it's kind of the last thing for me it smells very strawberry that was kind of the first thing i smelled [Music] [Music] you want to bend from the back right okay use your hearing aid like a hinge we're gonna ferment at 66 degrees because that's as high as our fermentator will go fermentator is that a word all right there she goes [Music] hey rachel that went well i think it went great we came in we had a goal we achieved it we did the goal had some laughs
