2 months ago I brewed your recipe. Yesterday (I gave it enough time!!!) was the first taste!!! I am brewing since 2012 I have won a Greek homebrew competition and I am doing my first steps as a gypsy brewer so I have a lot of batches under my belt. Honestly this beer was one of the best (definitely the most delicious!!!) I have ever brewed!!! Thx for sharing your knowledge. Keep up the good work!!! Cheers!!!
I brewed the same beer. First time ever to use Poblano peppers. I soaked in vodka and added at end of fermentation for 2d. The chocolate stout was awesome. The peppers way way overshot. After a few weeks it lost some of the heat, but next time I won’t use near as many peppers. Because I had never used peppers before, I purchased the Northern Brewing 5 gallon kit. About 1/2 of the peppers sent is probably about right.
Very cool videos man! your system looks amazing, even though these days I appreciate the simplicity of the all-in-one vessel systems I do love the home size version of the commercial 3 vessel approach. You are probably the only hombrewer out there that meassures the dissolved O2 levels :) p.s.: instead of adding more cinnamon, try grinding the same amount as in my experiences it gives a more pronounce-sweeter touch than using sticks
@@ryanmichaelcarter Definitely better if you grind it! Also note there are two types of cinnamon - Cassia and Ceylon - Cassia being more spicy and overpowering and Ceylon is more pleasant and “sweeter” imo
Thanks, Matt! I have a lot of fun on my system. I’m still pretty new to TH-cam and trying to learn how to edit more efficiently, but it’s been fun so far 🍻🍻
Thanks, Tommy! It was a fun beer to brew 🙌 the spice on this one is very very mild, but you can use hotter peppers like habanero or jalapeño for some real heat if you like
Nice video! Brewed this today. So far so good. Not sure I detect the pasilla chili due to the sweetness and toasty taste. Couldn’t get Darkness yeast so substituted with OYL-005.
You actually need very little to brew.. this system just makes the process simpler and easier to control. I have some videos on my page that show how to do it with basic gear
I'm newly hired brewer and really enjoy your videos! How do you measure the abv since adding the tincture? Even if you measure the gravity the vodka would raise the abv depending on how much vodka you added?
Thank you! You have to use an alcohol meter for the exact number but you can approximate it with decent accuracy by adding the alcohol content of the tincture volume (40% ABV) to the alcohol content of the beer volume. Add those two together and divide by the total volume of the keg.. In short, it only adds a fraction of a percentage point
Head retention can sometimes be reduced from excessive oils in the finished beer. Sometimes it’s hard to avoid with beers like this but this recipe only uses a small amount that was extracted in vodka first so there is little negative impact
Excelente receta, que tal saldría con chocolate abuelita :O tengo una duda en la receta mencionas extracto de vainilla pero no veo en que momento lo utilizas o siempre no lo alisaste?? saludos!!
I'd be really interested in how this tastes without all the tincture ingredients. I'm not much of a pastry stout fan, but the base stout recipe sounds really good. I wonder how it is that way?
Thanks! Not in my opinion. There’s definitely a residual sweetness, but not too much. I don’t think it would fit the pastry stout scene if it was any dryer or bitter, but it's an easy change if that’s what you’re after. Cheers 🍻
I usually do mill them, but just because it’s easier for me to keep everything together in a single bucket when I go out to the garage. Flaked oats don’t require milling tho, you can add em directly to the mash
Thanks, Martin! Lactose adds a bit of sweetness to the flavor, but I like to add it to beers like this to give them some extra body and some creaminess to the texture.
I assume youre talking about the brewing equipment? There’s much simpler ways to brew beer and I have a video here on my channel that shows how to do it with basic gear if you’re interested
As i wrote to you on instagram i am brewing your recipe next Sunday! Any tips about the water profile? I am thinking of something like Ca2 36 Mg2 6 Na 36 Cl 91 SO42 63. Keep up the good work!!!
Awesome! Can't wait to hear how it comes out. I have the complete water profile I used in the recipe at 2:43 (th-cam.com/video/YcBOnzD3TX0/w-d-xo.html)

That’s awesome! So happy to hear it turned out well. It was one of my most popular beer styles last year. I’ll definitely be brewing it again soon 🍻
Dark beer season is here! And this looks like a great one, awesome vid!
Thank you! I'm really happy with how the beer turned out. Maybe a small tweak to the cinnamon next round, but overall I'm pretty proud of it. Cheers!
Thank you for this video showing step by step procedures. I think I will make this beer before winter comes.
Cheers! Let me know what you think 🙌🍻
Great video! Can't wait for the next one.
Thanks so much, Norm! 🍻

It’s an awesome beer! It’s been one of the most popular ones I’ve brewed around here
Man I’ve gotta try some of your beer.
Great video, your system is pretty sweet, I’ve definitely got brewers envy!
Thank you my friend! It’s been a fun system🙌
Your videos are great. Thanks for including the recipe. Keep it up man. Always watching.
Thanks, Matt! I really appreciate that. Let me know what you think of the recipe if you give it a try. Cheers!

Thanks so much! That’s a great idea. Do you use ground cinnamon or do you actually grind your cinnamon sticks?
@@ryanmichaelcarter Definitely better if you grind it! Also note there are two types of cinnamon - Cassia and Ceylon - Cassia being more spicy and overpowering and Ceylon is more pleasant and “sweeter” imo
@@lapintabrewing8801 awesome! Thanks so much for the tips. This was my first time brewing it but I’ll try out the other cinnamon next round
Cool video and system! Like the editing you do, can tell you put in alot of work on these.
Thanks, Matt! I have a lot of fun on my system. I’m still pretty new to TH-cam and trying to learn how to edit more efficiently, but it’s been fun so far 🍻🍻
Great Recipe Ryan ! Cheers 🍻🍻
Thanks so much! Cheers 🙌🍻
So serious equipment for such an easy brewing... anyways, well done, fella 👍
Cheers fella 🍻
Cheers!
Great stuff 🍺 Thanks for explaining the steps!
Thank you! 🍻
Amazing video, Ryan! And the beer looks good as well. Cheers!
Thanks so much! Cheers 🍻🍻🍻
very cool. I just started brewing (BIAB plus glass carboy) and your set is so cool. I never had a spicy beer before.
Thanks, Tommy! It was a fun beer to brew 🙌 the spice on this one is very very mild, but you can use hotter peppers like habanero or jalapeño for some real heat if you like
Great content 🍻
Thanks, Kenneth! Cheers 🍻
That was great man, editing was a pleasure to watch. I reckon it would've taken you longer to edit this video than it would have to brew that beer 😂
Thanks, Steve! And yea that’s 100% accurate 😂 I’m still trying to figure out this TH-cam thing
@@ryanmichaelcarter bro if you keep putting out content like this I reckon your channel will be massive! GL bro, look forward to seeing more
Great video as always! Hope see you more time in TH-cam and oximeter put you in next level. Cheers from Brazil. 🍻
Thank you, Marcelo! Cheers from California USA🍻
Nice video! Brewed this today. So far so good. Not sure I detect the pasilla chili due to the sweetness and toasty taste. Couldn’t get Darkness yeast so substituted with OYL-005.
Awesome! Yea I didn’t notice the chiles until late in fermentation. But the tincture will definitely give it a big boost
Seeing that setup I'm not sure i can do this at home lol...
You actually need very little to brew.. this system just makes the process simpler and easier to control. I have some videos on my page that show how to do it with basic gear
Hi, very cool recipe, Did you put the 52g. Pasilla chile peppers in the boil?
Yea, I boiled those for the last 5 minutes
If you wanted to do this in a 10 gallon batch would you just double everything? Great video BTW
Yea that’d get it pretty close. You’d likely have to make some adjustments though if you were scaling to a much larger batch like 1BBL and above.

Hi Ryan I have brew cacao beers before but I always have foam retention problems how do you deal whit that?
Thanks for share knowledge
Head retention can sometimes be reduced from excessive oils in the finished beer. Sometimes it’s hard to avoid with beers like this but this recipe only uses a small amount that was extracted in vodka first so there is little negative impact
Great video! Newer try such kind of stout, want to brew with your recipe. Are you adding Pasilla pepper with seeds?
Thank you! I did add the pasilla with seeds to my Hop Spider, but I de-seeded the guajillo chiles in the tincture
Excelente receta, que tal saldría con chocolate abuelita :O tengo una duda en la receta mencionas extracto de vainilla pero no veo en que momento lo utilizas o siempre no lo alisaste?? saludos!!
Gracias! Agregué 30 ml de vainilla al tanque después de la fermentación.
I'd be really interested in how this tastes without all the tincture ingredients. I'm not much of a pastry stout fan, but the base stout recipe sounds really good. I wonder how it is that way?
One tweak I’d make if leaving out the tincture and lactose is reduce the hops a bit. Maybe cut that by about 5-10 IBU so that it’s not too bitter
It looks and sounds delicious but I am wondering. FG 1,026 , IBU 45 ABV 8,5% . Plus the vanilla and cocoa nibs. Didn't it turn out too sweet?
Thanks! Not in my opinion. There’s definitely a residual sweetness, but not too much. I don’t think it would fit the pastry stout scene if it was any dryer or bitter, but it's an easy change if that’s what you’re after. Cheers 🍻
did you just mill your oats?
I usually do mill them, but just because it’s easier for me to keep everything together in a single bucket when I go out to the garage. Flaked oats don’t require milling tho, you can add em directly to the mash
I love your videos, how do you taste the sweet of lactose?
Thanks, Martin! Lactose adds a bit of sweetness to the flavor, but I like to add it to beers like this to give them some extra body and some creaminess to the texture.
Not hating, but I've never seen a video less applicable to normal people .
