I'm sure he meant at what temp. With that much hops I wouldn't cap the mash, just throw it all in. But that's just me.....Where are you going to mash?

Ok makes sense. I was planning to mash at 150. I see what you are saying DJ. Makes sense. I can just toss in the Carafa and Roasted and mash it as you said. That is what might be needed to get any flavor from them as well. It should have some hop flavor and kick so that sounds like the way to go. Thanks.I'm sure he meant at what temp.

Thanks. I am about to add the 10 minute addition of hops and so far it smells citrusy and looks more like a Brown Ale than a Stout. Since I mashed the 8oz of color malts. Beersmith says 26SRM. Its cool, it looks good. I will glady report back on this one too. I am going to ferment with 2112 since I have a nice cake that I can use. Used it in a Common, Pale and another IPA all were/are great. I am excited for this one. Thanks for the imput.Should be an interesting beer, I'm not sure the roastiness will meld well with the high hop flavor/aroma, I'd be afraid of it tasting like burnt hops. I think you're going the right way with just a little RB and some Carafa Special for color. In any case, I'll be looking forward to hearing the results.

You've got to admit he answered the question that was asked! It was another "coffee out the nose" moment for me.

Well I transferred the batch to secondary back on 9/3/09. The FG was 1.012 which makes this a 6.5% beer. Tasting the gravity sample it definitely had an up front hop bite and it does have a small amount of roast character in the aftertaste. I am going to hold out my final judgement of the beer till it gets carbed and is on tap. Its sitting with my Denny Conn RIPA waiting for the next two taps to open up. I am happy with the beer so far too. The 2112 ripped the gravity down from 1.065 in 6 days. I will give you a further update on the flavors when I get this on tap in about 2 weeks. I think the carbonation will change it a bit.You're at about 2.5 weeks, how goes the batch?
