After being inspired by Track 7’s White Stout<\/a>, the discussion about how to create a white stout got much more serious. We began researching an formulating our recipe.<\/p>\n

Luckily, my buddy from Sacramento was able to reach out to someone who was intimately involved with the Track 7 brewing process that was able to give us this bit of knowledge:<\/p>\n

A white stout is created as a result of omitting dark, roasted malts from the grain bill and replacing them with cold-steeped coffee,\u00a0cacao nibs, and\/or vanilla beans.\u00a0 The coffee, cacao nibs, and vanilla beans are added to the beer (post fermentation in the case of Track 7) to impart the bitterness\u00a0and roasted character that the dark, roasted malts impart, but without the color.\u00a0 From what I’ve seen, brewers also add oats for a fuller mouthfeel as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By no means was this a recipe, but it was a great starting point. This also shed light on how the white stout had so much coffee and roasted flavor but non of the inherent color that come with those types of malts and additives.<\/p>\n

Then we came across this post<\/a> at The Single Hop. This didn’t come up in our initial search as we had been looking primarily for the term ‘white stout’, not ‘pale stout’. We reached out to the author and were able to get some good info from him. He seemed to think that adding a cold brew coffee concentrate to our beer would definitely darken it up considerably. We took this advice to heart and ended up adding whole coffee beans after primary fermentation.<\/p>\n

We found a few other recipes for white stout which we took into consideration in developing our own.<\/p>\n
