I have been tasked with putting together a celebration ale for my brother in law. A beer that needs some time to age. I asked him what he wanted and this is a direct quote "how about a chocolate banana brown." I said that sounds a little odd but I am up to the challenge. I am taking a chance and hopefully this one will turn out to be a really good experiential beer. Here is the bill for the banana chocolate brown:
8oz of Biscuit Malt
8oz of Coco Powder
4oz of Flaked Barley
1 lb Chocolate Malt (Briess)
6 lbs of Dark LME
1 Lb Wheat DME
1 oz Crystal Hops Pellet
1 oz Mt Hood Hops Pellet
Wyeast Weihenstephan 3068
Start fermentation around 68-70 and gradually raise the temps to get the banana esters out of the yeast. Should be interesting, I will be sure to let you know how this turns out, it should be in the fermenter in the next month or two.
