1 can Mount Mellick Famous Irish Stout Extract
3 # M&F Dark Dry Malt Extract
4 # Frozen Blackberries
1 # Dark Crystal Malt
1/2 # Black Patent Malt
1/2 # Roasted Barley
1.5oz Hallertauer
.5oz Fuggles
1/2 cup Corn sugar for priming
Specifics: Start all the grains in brewpot with cool water, remove when boil
commences. Add all malt, and Hallertauer hops. Boil 1 hour. Add Fuggles hops, boil for 5
more minutes. Remove from heat. Add thawed blackberries and steep for 15 mins. Cool
and dump the whole mess in the primary. When moved to secondary, leave the
blackberries behind.
This stout reaches it's prime in 4-6 weeks, and rapidly deteriorates from there,
aquiring a winey flavor as the residual blackberry sweetness erodes. (Amateur) Judges
