Stop, Wasting your time! Why you need a Jaded Brewing Scylla for your next brew!


All in One brewing systems like the Grainfather, Mash & Boil, Robobrew, DigiMash, Anvil Foundry and the list goes on… have all come a long ways and are only getting better each year but the chillers they come with are not even close to what Jaded Brewing’s Scylla can do for you.

If you don’t own a Jaded Brewing Scylla immersion chiller, you need to watch this video and my other Jaded Brewing Video  
My only mistake in buying a Jaded Brewing Scylla immersion chiller is not buying one sooner.

The Jaded Brewing Scylla immersion chiller is essentially 3 – 25′ copper immersion chillers in one. Equipment Discussed in this video:
Jaded Brewing Scylla
Superior Pump 91250 Utility Pump – 1/4 HP
Anvil Foundry 10.5 Gallon All-in-One brewing system with recirculation pump kit

French Toast American Brown Ale – Anvil Foundry – Grain to Glass – Part 2 of 2


French Toast American Brown Ale – Anvil Foundry – Grain to Glass – Part 2 of 2 First we had to choose the right beer style and I felt Brown ale was the perfect fit for a French Toast Ale.

Also as promised:

Yes we are using Amoretti French Toast natural flavoring but honestly I felt the best way to really enhance both the flavor and for the brew to be enjoyable and not a sugar bomb was to give it the best possible foundation and to ferment on the dry side as it will be slightly back sweetened when we add the Amoretti French Toast natural flavoring.

I focused on nice malty flavors like biscuit, toffee, caramel, and the mouth feel as we want it to be a little creamy and lactose is perfect for that but too much can make it taste overly sweet. To keep with that mouth feel and the flavors we were going for while reducing the sweetness we went with 1 lb of golden naked oats.

Recipe for a 5.25 gallon batch for the French Toast American Brown Ale
6 lbs 2 oz – Maris Otter malt
1 lb 8 oz – Munich I malt
1 lb – Golden Naked Oats
13.5 oz – CaraBrown malt
12 oz – Biscuit malt
11.5 oz – British Dark Crystal Malt I (85 SRM)
8 oz – Honey Malt 0.65 – Magnum (12% A) – 60 minute addition
8 oz – Lactose (last 5 minutes)
Omega Yeast OYL-501 Gulo
Amoretti French Toast will be added after the beer has been kegged and chilled to avoid additional fermentation. We’ve done this twice now and had amazing successes without issues.

Estimated FG – 1.012

Ultimately we only used 1/2 the bottle, 4 oz by weight and I must say this isn’t going to last as I know most of the people I work with will be dying for a bottle or 2 of this. It is perfect in regards to a French Toast ale as it is very drinkable and almost sessionable without a lot of sweetness.
