Fitzpatrick's Celtic Stout Recipe supplied by: Mark Duchow, Fitzpatrick’s, Iowa City, Iowa This beer won the Silver medal in the Classic Irish-Style Dry Stout category at the 2001 Great American Beer Festival. Recipe for 5 US gallons (19L). Malt 5 lb Pale two-row malt 14 oz Roasted Barley 11 oz Chocolate Malt 5 oz Black Malt - Total Grainbill 6.875 pounds (3.125 kilograms) Hops Kent Goldings @ 30 IBU's - 60 min Yeast White Labs WLP001, California Ale Yeast 7 to 8 gallons brewing liquor should be brought up to 168° F. The brewing liquor and sparge water should not exceed 168° or drop below 165° F. I do a 4:1 ratio of brewing liquor over malt, (4 liters over 1 kilogram = 3.3 gallons or 12.5 liters of brewing liquor). The mash should rest at 148° to 151°F for an hour. Sparge the mash with remaining brewing liquor until 5.5 to 6 gallons of wort are obtained. I like to boil the wort until I get 10 to 15 percent evaporation rate, (estimated time 90 minutes) with a target original gravity of 1.036 to 1.040 (9 to 10 degrees Plato). Add hops 60 min before the end of the boil. Cool wort to 65° - 70° F and pitch the WLP001. After the yeast kicks off, or the first signs of a crown I like to drop the temp between 63° and 66° for the remainder of fermentation. After fermentation I pull the beer off the yeast and let it rest for a week to 10 days or until the yeast has mostly settled. I will add either 1/2-cup of corn syrup or malt extract and transfer the beer into kegs or bottles to condition for and additional week or two.
