@Minbari you were pulled from the jar by Sophie
Sweet! Well, this is a recipe i spent a Couple years getting right. Has been the base of many different experiments. it is a favorite of mine and I brew it several times a year.

if you dont like liquid yeast, then S-04 works well too.

water additions are for RO water, so adjust accordingly.

Ooooooo! I’m always up for a Stout and that looks great. I do have a run of Summer beers that I need to brew first, but I think I will brew this in September. Looks like a perfect beer for the Fall.

I copied the target water levels from the link you provided. Are you aiming for any particular mash pH?

Water Profile​

Ca2 - 65
Mg2 - 7
Na - 8
Cl - 62
SO4 - 50
HCO3 - 82
