Notes: **Fruit Prep:**
-Defrost fruit
-Clean fruit with sanitized water
-Mash up fruit
-Refreeze fruit

------------------------------------------------------

**Brew Day 1**

**Mash**

-Hold 2 gallons of purified water at between 145-160F
-Put grain bag around kettle pot, fill with grain and stir a few times
-Hold for 1 hour

**Sparge**

-Squeeze grain bag out over kettle pot
-Put grain bag in bucket and poor purified 170F water overtop until covered
-Let sit for 10 minutes then squeeze out the bag and poor water into kettle pot

**Boil 1**

-Fill kettle pot up with purified water
-Boil for 15 minutes to sanitize wort

**Souring**

-Cool and maintain at 86-104F (optimal 95-100F).
-Add sour pitch
-Cover top of kettle pot with saran wrap and put in plugged sink
-Fill with boiling water occasionally to maintain temperature
-Sour to taste

**Brew Day 2**

**Boil 2**

-Boil for 20 minutes to kill the bugs
-Add Bittering (Centennial) hops at 20 minutes
-Add 4 pods worth of cardamom seeds at 5mins.
-Add Flavouring hops (Mosaic, Amarillo) at 0 minutes

> *remember that special hops are 2X as potent as regular hops at same weight.*

**Pitch**

-Cool to correct temperature on yeast package
-Add water to buckets but leave room for fruit
-Pitch yeast

**Additions (after 1 week)**

Dry Hop/Fruit/Vanilla
-Put fruit evenly in grain bags and let it defrost
-Add dry hops (Mosaic and Amarillo) evenly to hop bags

Brewday. What a mess. I'm not sure if it was being unfamiliar with darker malts, or that I ground my grain too fine, but the bag became clogged within a few minutes. Pretty much had to stir and scrape the bag for the entire 90 min mash. The upside to this is that is that I hit 80% efficiency, my highest ever. And this beer is going to now be an 8.5% monster.

Also had some wild temp fluctuations while trying to figure out why my sparge was sticking. 1st I forgot to turn the heat down to 156 while adding grain, so it stayed at 165 for a couple of minutes. Then, when everything was getting backed up, the top kettle temp dropped into the 130's while the bottom temp probe showed 154. Eventually, with a lot of stirring, it all evened out about 30 minutes into the mash.

OG = 1.080

Rehydrated and pitched the K-97 at the same time as the US-05 for the Garage Floor IPA.

5-15-2017
Transferred to keg. FG=1.021, 7.74% ABV

7-14-2017
Finally finished this off. Was a very smooth drinking stout for my first try. Next time try some vanilla and a little less of the chocolate roast flavor.

Notes: At start of fermentation, begin soaking 4-8oz of cacao nibs in vodka. After primary fermentation is complete, add cacao nibs and vodka to fermenter during secondary (for the remainder of fermentation).

Cold brew a coffee concentrate with a light/blonde roast. Add 6-16oz of coffee concentrate into fermenter during secondary fermentation.

Notes: the first decoction volume was too small (almost all solids!!!) to reach my usual 68 deg C sach' rest
so...second decoction to reach it after a 20 mn rest at 64

boil took a huge toll on volume so ended up with 21 litres @ 1.062 gravity

Recipe is now out of style... did not bother diluting the wort...

Bottled after 16 days in primary fermenter
FG = 1.012
beer tastes dry and fresh, no intense banana nor cloves notes.
