Beard Likker

  • ABV - 9.0%
  • STYLE - Imperial Stout
  • IBU - 33
  • STATUS - previous
  • BREWED - Nov 2020

Our first attempt at a double figure ABV beer, 5 different types of grain, aged with whiskey soaked wood chips, infused with maple syrup and strained through coffee beans. We originally had 5 gallons until it leaked all over the shed and now we only have a few precious bottles remaining with one ear marked for a homebrew competition. Do the secret handshake and we might give you a bottle to share.

Yeast

  • Wyeast Labs - London ESB Ale

A very good cask conditioned ale strain, this extremely flocculant yeast produces distinctly malty beers. Attenuation levels are typically less than most other yeast strains which results in a slightly sweeter finish. Ales produced with this strain tend to be fruity, increasingly so with higher fermentation temperatures of 70-74°F (21-23° C). A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete. Bright beers are easily achieved within days without any filtration.
