Scoundrel Stout

jeffsmith · Post by **jeffsmith** » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:48 am

Been wanting to have a good stout on tap lately, not necessarily the best time of year for it, but I figure that fall will be upon us before I know it. Based on JZ's Reprobate Stout from BCS.

OG 1.060

83.7% 2-Row
7.1% Black Patent
4.6% Crystal 150
4.6% Chocolate Malt

1.2oz Warrior - 60 minutes
2.5oz Cascade - 5 minutes

6g gypsum added to mash
Mash at 151º for 60 minutes
60 minute boil

Ferment with 1272 in the low 60's.

Thoughts?

I brewed that a couple times. I think the second time I used c120 or c150. I think JZ uses that in later versions. IIRC, that recipe was supposed to be a loose clone of Rouge's Shakespeare Stout. The crazy old bugger from Rogue did a CYBI show a while back on the beer, and I think that's what he had evolved to. I always mash lower than that for attenuation, but that's more system dependent. Either yeast is good, but I've evolved towards 1272.

I normally use 1272 for any American styles as well, but given my schedule these days, dry yeast has been my go to for my last couple of batches since I rarely have the time to make a starter.

I think I'll likely take your advice and sub in 120 or 150 and might even up the IBU's a bit (at 48 currently) to get around 55-60. Possibly adjust my mash temp to 151-152 to dry it out a little more.

How did this one turn out Jeff? Looking for a solid american stout recipe in the 6% 60 IBU range.

I never ended up brewing it yet to be honest, it's still in the queue.

Hah, might give it a go next weekend, will keep you posted. Will probably use WLP001 instead though.

Please do! I'm on the fence about brewing this or a dry stout this winter.

Waiting on a part from China to get my electric kettle back in business then I may rip this out too.

Nice!

I'm looking to rip this out on the weekend. I'm shooting for 6.5G to secondary in a 6G fermenter for a few months. I'm also using WLP029 (German Ale/Kolsch) as it's becoming my house yeast along with WLP002 (English Ale)

No Roasted Barley?

I ran out of black patent, so I used 50/50 roasted and black. Will be ready fairly soon, hoping to keg it next weekend.

This one turned out really nice, the keg almost got drained in one night at a party, very easy drinking stout. Brewed up another batch of it last night

Good to know, thanks! I love having my recipes piloted before I brew them.

Mashed in on this one around 4:15 ran all Centennial in the boil

jtmwhyte · Post by **jtmwhyte** » Mon May 26, 2014 8:05 pm

This is CRAZY close to Rogue's Shakespeare Stout with all Centennial in the boil. My hydro sample was better than most of the carbonated beers I've made.

Good stuff.

Guess I'm going to have to finally brew up a batch.

Wife is away Saturday evening, so if the in-laws can wrangle the kids for the night I may try to brew this up on Saturday evening.

jtmwhyte · Post by **jtmwhyte** » Thu Jun 12, 2014 9:17 pm

Having one right now. Very good. Though my fridge got a touch too cold and I'm waiting for it to warm a bit before I pour another.
