Notes: Two packets of Lalvin D47 Wine Yeast (only ferments to ~ 14%)
Yeast Starter directions from "Compleat Meadmaker" - 6.5 cups of water, tablespoon of Light DME, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 tsp Nutrient, 1/4 tsp Energizer. Bring water, nutrient, energizer, & malt extract to a boil for 15 minutes, remove from heat, add honey, cover with foil. I'll let this sit on my stir plate for about 42 hours before pitching.

Warm a couple gallons of water to ~140 F or so to mix in the clover honey which was purchased at Costco. Use chilled water to bring down to pitching temp & volume up to ~5 gallons (I went up to about 5.75 gallons). OG for me was 1.12-1.13.

Then follow nutrient additions with 1/4 tsp energizer and 1/2 tsp nutrient at 24 hours, then again at 48 hours, then again after 30% of sugar has been depleted. Two weeks of primary before racking to secondary. Warm the organic "strawberry spread" from Costco in some ~140-150 degree water just to be safe, then rest until room temp, then add in to secondary for two more weeks before racking a 3rd time.

Notes: This will be my first batch out of my Grainfather Connect. Not sure if my efficiency it too low or too high. Will evaluate after the final gravity. Should be interesting hence I have never used this system before. Plus no secondary because of the conical Grainfather Fermenter that allows be to dump the trubb from the bottom.

With research done, my hops are added 25% hot and 75% cold.
Also, shooting for a bit lower mash temp from research I did with higher ABV.

First time out of the grainfather had a couple hiccups. still happy with what I produced so far. I tried the wort after 7 days and it tasted absolutely perfect. I did yield more than I thought obv because the lack of experience with the grainfather. yielded 7 gal, took gravity on day 8 and was surprising on point to hit my mark. will take again in 7 days. dropped the fruits and hops.. i am changing the recipe as i go on the hop bill. honestly even though the random changes i can not wait to keg this beer!

Notes: I used a # each of the steeping grains and got an O.G. of 1.061. I sparged them twice in a large stainless bowl with the water they were steeped in.

Notes: Tasting notes, 8-29-15:

L: Deep mahogany, with ruby edges. Large sandy head with good retention.

S: Spices and dark fruits. Hints of apple and cherry. Smells more like a Belgian dubbel than anything English.

T: Lots of dark fruit, followed by indeterminate spice notes. A faint oakiness in the finish, only a shadow of the oak and bourbon bomb that it was in May. Finishes with a wave of warm apple.

F: Brightly carbonated, thickening as it warms up.

O: I'm not sure what happened to this beer. The bourbon and oak are rapidly fading, and the resulting beer tastes, looks, and smells like a slightly toned down dark strong Belgian ale. It'll be interesting to see how it tastes in a couple more months.

Notes: Final volume to fermenter was higher than planned but so was efficiency. Mash stayed around 152 for most opf the 60+ minute mash. The following 20 minute recirculate/mashout step really helps efficiency. What went into the fermenter smelled and tasted great, can't wait for the yeast to go to work. I'm curious if this porter may not be very "roasty" and if I may consider using roaster barley next time.
