Shakespeare Stout (Clone)
Monday, October 17th, 2011
The classic stout recipe. We have brewed this several times from the outstanding CYBI recipe– often making small moderations. This time, we stuck the recipe – even going so far as to modify our water with salt and chalk additions. It was a double batch (12 gallons total).

The hops were all from my yard.

This is the current beer on tap and the first keg is going fast. The water additions made a huge difference. The beer is noticeably maltier, hoppier and has better mouth feel. I think that we will need a side-by-side comparison with the commercial version.
