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:
OG = 1.050
FG = 1.010
ABV = 5.25%
Nose is slightly sweet, pleasant yeasty aroma, no discernible hop aroma,
color is "reddish" amber with slight brown overtones, froth is light beige to white with good retention, some legs remaining as is drank.
Taste is of moderate to light carbonation, slightly sweet malty backbone with very light caramel overtones with rich taste, good body, very smooth with lingering bitterness that is well balanced to its overall taste.
In my opinion, somewhere between a Newcastle Brown Ale and Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale as an example.
Temperature is key here, as is using a starter. Used two litters of ambient water to package of liquid yeast. Added 1/4 cup honey as "food" but not enough to start fermentation. Allowed to sit in dark for 24/36 hours before added to wort. I attribute the starter technique to the "attenuation" being 79%
During fermentation, never got above 66 F and averaged 64-66 F during the first seven days. Secondary/conditioning allowed to rise to 68 F for the remaining seven days prior to cold crashing and filtering into kegs. Allowed to rest an additional seven days prior to drinking
I use a water bath to control temperature and glass carboy. Fermentation started in under 12 hours which was robust and had to change overflow bottle twice.
As is always maintained is meticulous sterile/clean procedure.
