It is first or second week of January. Was wanting to do a BIG beer, something that I can age for at least a year. I was kinda leaning towards denny’s old stoner. Does any one else have any suggestions?
And second question. It says from green bay rackers, that I need 10.6gal. The problem I have it I only have a 10gal cooler. What can I do, to be able to mash this beer? I calculated at 1.25qt/lb.

nice. extract or all grain?
What’s your batch count?
Saturday will be my 20th. 6 extract then all grain from then on.
About to hit my 1 year anniversary in the next 2 weeks. Started right before Christmas last year. Nothing special planned, but have been brewing like mad lately. The wife is pregnant with our first and I’m trying to get as much brewing in now as I can. In the last 3 weeks I’ve done a Festweise, Vienna Calypso IPA, Orange Cascade Pale Ale. I’m brewing an Oatmeal Stout this weekend, a Smoked Lager next weekend, Honeyweizen the following and a Black IPA sometime around christmas.

You could always mash thicker than that. However, if you are batch sparging, I’m not sure you’ll be able to hit your boil volume with only doing one sparge. You may have to gently add additional hot water as you’re draining the mash tun. Not sure what kind of effect this will have on the OG though.
I actually fly sparge. So I could adjust the sacch rest volume and make up for it with sparge volume.
Where is denny when you need him?

Yes I do this frequently when fly sparging. Mash at 1.10 to 1.15qts per Lb. Then just fly sparge until you hit your preboil volume.
BTW here is the 2010 reiteration of the Old Stoner recipe I received from Denny.
[quote=“Denny”]No problem. Here is this year’s recipe. We do a 10 gal. batch and one of ferments 5 gal. with WY1450 and the other 5 gal. with WY1272. Then we blend at bottling.

haha. yes it is. It is great to have so much control of every part of your beer.
I think you will have a serious problem mashing with only a 40 quart cooler. I made Old Stoner in a 56 quart and I was still pushing it, Never did get the mash temp even across the tun, although the beer is still mighty tasty. Of course 26 lbs of grain and 6 oz of hops can cover up a lot of mistakes.
P.S. you might also consider brewing a belgian trippel or some such, where you will certianly get a big beer but you use less grain because a decent chunk of your fermentables comes from sugar.
I have already done a trippel. It’s a couple months south of a year old.
I may do a 4 or 4.5 gal batch of old stoner.
Think I changed my mind on anniversary beer.
Think about do a loose version on founders breakfast stout. What do you think?

This month makes 5 years for me. Thank you bob, bob, and tim. :cheers:
awesome. Have never had a hobby that I enjoy this much. I hope four years from now, I will be talking about my 100th batch.
finally picked up the last ingredients for my imperial breakfast stout. Is it Saturday yet?
this will be a few first. first time brewing with chocolate, cocoa nibs, coffee, and will be the first imperial anything I have brewed.
Hoping I will have enough yeast grown by saturday and can get enough o2 before pitching.
You’ve got plenty of time for the yeast. Have fun and good luck.
Why dont you just do two mashes? I mean its a longer brew day, but its not often that you brew an amazing barleywine. I would do half of the mash for 90 and make myself end up with about 4 gallons. Turn on the boil half way through the second mash and add the runnings to the boiling pot. If you could make it so that you end up with nearly 7 gallons of wort then you could just proceed like normal right? Is that a lame idea?
Mmm that stout recipe looks tasty too…
