The flaked barley will really help with adding some body without sweetness. If that isn't enough flaked rye does an even better job adding a silk viscosity. I just brewed a smoked Baltic porter with some flaked rye that I am really excited about.

Tsunami Stout is way at the top of my list of F.E. Stouts. All the way at the top. What struck me the most about this beer was the body. I have tasted many stouts with great flavor profiles, but so many are too thinck or too thin. My stouts tend to be on the thin side, even if the finish kind of high. I am not too sure how to get this thing to finish at 1.013 and still have a silky yet drinkable beer. Hmmmm....

The ingredient list was from the Pelican website, so from there it was just based on where I wanted to go with the stout.

I finally got to try the Tsunami a few months ago, and I'd say it was pretty close to what the Lug Wrench guys brewed. I'll have to do a side-by-side soon to see just how close it was.

I am dying to clone this beer. How did you settle on this recipe? What information other than you own pallet did you use to come up with the final formulation? If I end up deciding that this recipe will be close I am going to make it for our December club competition. The theme is Stout. Thanks for the help, here and on BBR.

Cheers,

Jason

I like your notes.

Good luck with this one. I just found the blend I thought was clean also developed a pellice. I added 6 crushed Camdpen tablets to the bucket and let it sit a week. The pellicle hasn't dropped out so I was thinking I'd rack the beer to a second bucket and add more Campden tablets just to be sure.

Unfortunately I don't have a way to cool the beer before bottling. If the second bucket develops a pellicle I guess my last option is pasteurization.

Brett is a pretty robust bug I guess.

One thing you might try if it gets worse is to pasteurize it and blend with other stouts. I understand that Guinness adds a bit of pasteurized sour beer to their stout.
