Preparation Directions:
To start this excellent German style chocolate beer recipe, mix your Dry Chocolate Malt, DeWolfe Cosyns Belgian Wheat, Pale Two-row Malt, and Cara-pils Dextrin Malt into 11 quarts of spring water. Using a step mash, elevate the temperature to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, and hold it steady for 15 full minutes. Next, elevate your temperature again this time to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, and again hold for 15 full minutes. Elevate your temperature again for a third time to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, and hold it for 35 full minutes. For the fourth time, elevate your temperature again this time to 170 degrees Fahrenheit, and then sparge it to accumulate five and a half gallons of spring water. Bring that to a boil, once there pour in your German Northern Brewer Hops, and hold a boiling temperature for one full hour. Next add in your Tettnanger Hops and boil again for half an hour. Now add in your Irish moss, and boil for 14 full minutes. Add in your Yeast Nutrient, and boil for two more minutes. Remove from the burner to and let chill, then pitch the yeast at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. You will need to be careful to hold your fermentation temperature to between 66 degrees and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer your brew to a secondary fermenter after the Kraeusen falls, and you will need to condition it for about 12 full days. Prime your chocolate brew with corn sugar, bottle it up using clean and sterile bottles, and condition it further at 70 degrees Fahrenheit for another two to three weeks. I let my batch age for about 2 full months in bottles, and they sat in a cool dark place with a temperature of about 60 degrees Fahrenheit, with no direct sunlight, and a dry location.
