I would like to drink one of those, for my personal taste; I would reduce the IBU's and also cut back on the crystal. But still, I'd like to drink one, maybe five gallons, but I'd want to start with one before brewing it.

Another thing to think about is that you have your eff. set to 82%, which I have a hard time getting on anything as big as this, though some of that is sugar additions (which I've never done). And on that note, your attenuation may be a bit higher because of those... or not because of all the crystal. Your program can work that out.

So in summery (I'm kinda buzzed right now), it could be great, I don't see any major flaws in what you're planning.

Lothos

nice i will try that in a few min on reducing the IBU's i usually get 80 to 81 eff out of my system. course i will be dumping in 1lb of rice hulls so i don't get a stuck sparge

BUT I STILL NEED A YEAST FOR IT

Jayrizzle

Oh yeah, I've only done a few big stouts, but I've used WLP028 for them with good results.

Lothos

Ok im not into scotch ale's just dont like them or the flavors they incert to a full body beer

That looks more like something I'd make, but I'm sure your taste is different than mine, you may be happier with the first.
What is your dislike of Scottish ale? It's very unlikely anything to do with the yeast. The WLP028 turns out to be a good all purpose. Though there are many relatively neutral yeast that can take that ABV, I just mentioned it because it's worked for me, and I can't think of anything more appropriate at the moment.

Lothos

i might lightn the 2 row 2 lbs to bring it down some

i lighten the hops so it wasnt so bitter

thought about using this

WYeast 5526 Brettanomyces Lambicus™

that way it would impart cherry pie flavors and sours to it

Jayrizzle

I have never used that, but it could be really awesome. How's your temp control. Often with the yeasts that make the nifty esters keeping them at just the right temp is very very important for good results. Though I've used White Lab's WLP500 (Tarppist ale)with sloppy temp control and it worked out well, though that is a rather "flexible" estery yeast (though it gives very different results depending on temp, they are mostly good).

Lothos

id have to see what temp it needs havnt looked into it yet
i work nights like now so i cant do much online

in my chocolate raspberry stout i use british ale WLP005 very good, clean finish. I think this is a good choice, and with a good portion of crystal you should get the body and residual sweetness desired.

Alternatively I busted out my Designing Great Beers and 3 of 8 award getters in the imperial stout category group used an irish ale yeast, which i would take to be WLP004. Similar attenuation, a little lower flocullation and a slightly different ester profile.

of course if you are really shooting for a tatonka clone, i could probably contact someone at the brewery for you...

i'd drink it, but not many others would enjoy the barnyard-y smells and flavors. plus, all brett beers take a good 3 months before the flavor develops. and by develops i mean stops tasting like compost juice.

mmmmmm....compost juice

Brew it! <:-P <br />
Since you are currently the lone member of the elite brew kit quarterly club at this time, i'll let you decide what kit you want when we get close to the ship date.

Surprise me. Maybe by then, someone else will jump in.
