Notes: Added 1 min of O2 (pure) before pitching

Added an additional 30 seconds of O2 to fermentor after 18 hours to help yeast. Ferment temp start at 64 will raise temp 1 degree a day/

After 6 days gravity at 1.020. Taking a little longer than normal. Increased fermentation temp to 68.

Beer tastes great. Very similar to LaChouffe in taste. I would use beet sugar instead of cane sugar next time and mash at 148 instead of 154 to give it a lighter body.

Notes: Add the honey & table sugar at flameout.

Add grapefruit rind and brown sugar 60 hours into fermentation - 4oz of brown sugar adds ~0.002 gravity points to 5 gallons. 1lb of red grapefruit adds .46 gravity points which is equal to 1.00046, so negligible. Strictly for flavor.

Took Final Gravity reading on 6/17, came in at 1.014. OG was 1.090 so ABV should be around 10%. 83% attenuation at that OG. I got way more sugar in the original mash than I wanted. This will be a VERY strong beer.

Notes: Special Instructions / Notes:
Kevin's stout brewing had one of the better stories of the day as our intrepid leader realized he had forgotten the Target hops slated for the recipe (1.5 oz). So with a little bit of scrounging Kevin secured an extra 2 ounces of Saaz hops from the Rhudes and proceed to make a Saaz hopped Milk Stout.

Notes: Do a super long boil to bring out roasted notes of the malts.
Do a very think sparge to promote a slow run off.

Add 1/2 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Tbsp Ginger
2 Tbsp Cinnamon

Notes: Brew day: Sunday March 30, 2013.

Steeped 0.5 lbs of 30-40L Crystal for 30 mins @160-170F. 1 TBSP of Irish Mosh @ 15 mins of boil.

Boil ended with 9L (2.4G). Topped up with three (and a bit) 1G water jugs.

OG: 1.042. 2 Gravity points lower than target. 2 possible reasons: (i) perhaps because I added a little bit too much water from the 4th water jug. (ii) I also pitched my yeast first and grabbed my gravity sample after. 2nd time in a row I made this mistake. (iii) I might not have added the full amount of LME. Its tough to get absolutely all of the extract out of the jug.

03/31: Signs of fermentation 12 hours after pitching.

Expectations: bare-bones, sessionable English best bitter with traditional characterisitcs from the Nottingham yeast and willamette hops (fruity/floral/peppery) and hopefully a well-balanced malt backbone with the crystal 40L and amber LME. Fermentation temp is a little high, around 23-24C, so it might have dominating fruity characteristics (hopefully not off-flavours).

Dry hopped with 1 oz. of Goldings hops. Probably domestic. Hopefully will add a subtle (maybe not even noticeable) earthy/spicy/floral aroma. Maybe it will complement the spiciness/floral of the willamete aroma hops.

Bottles:
30x355ml = 10.65L
10x800ml = 8L
2x750ml = 1.5L
4x500ml = 2L

TOTAL = 22.15L

Bottling day: 04/14/2014. 3 oz of corn sugar with 2 cups of boiled water to make 0.81 volumes of C02 (with 1.75 volumes of calculated C02). Broke my second hydrometer when reaching for my scale. :(

Tasting day: 05/12/2004. 2 weeks bottle conditioned, 2 weeks in fridge. Fuller's London Pride Premium Bitter for comparison.

Appearance: ASA: dark, ruby red and hazy. little to no head retention. FLP: golden orange and light, medium head the fades within 10 seconds.

Smell: ASA: slight caramel and nutty. Also pretty earthy. FLP: more of a "beer" smell and slightly metallic? Smells crisp. Floral and earthy.

Taste: caramel again. light and refreshing, sessionable. fairly malty with slight fruit notes. very enjoyable. low-medium bitterness. FLP: about same medium bitterness with more of an earthy character. Just as sessionable/enjoyable. I like mine a little better though.

Mouthfeel: little to no carbonation in both. no bubbles present. medium body for both? I dont see much of a difference in mouthfeel. FLP has a lighter mouthfeel/body. It just kind of rolls of the tongue. Mine is slightly more viscous.

Overall: both very drinkable, as they should be. Mine is overall more caramelly/nutty and feels heavier despite the much lower abv. I tend to like mine more as it falls more on the caramelly/fruity side, while FLP is earthy and resiny.
