Beer Style: English Brown, Porter, Stout
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
Adapted from '1850 Imperial Brown Stout' in the January/February 2009 BYO magazine 'Brown Malt' article. I had an impossible time finding any information on Piloncillo sugar other than it is a Mexican variety of sugar. The fermentability and color could not be located. Therefore I did not change anything about the recipe other than gluten free malt substitutions. The OG/FG and SRM cannot be confirmed, and are only estimates. The original recipe had an OG of 1.111 with an FG of 1.019 for an ABV of 12% with an SRM of 50.
Ingredients:
- 13 LBS Pale Millet Malt; or 18.2 LBS Pale Rice Malt (hulled and/or naked varieties); or any combination of the two

- 12 OZ Gas Hog Rice Malt
- 2 LBS Piloncillo Sugar
