Notes

ACTUAL RESULTS:
SG: 1.057
OG: 1.078
FG: 1.014

11/29/15: Mashed way lower than I would have hopped (target 155) and I didn't correct it (i know better now that I should have added boiling water.) After 60 minutes mash was at 145-148. Collected 7.1 gallons at 1.057 which is beyond bad.

Added the coffee grounds too early along with the chocolate at 15 minutes. Used a heaping spoonful of cocoa powder and 2.8oz of 85% chocolate. Added some molasses as well but probably not much to make a difference.

12/12/15: Racked to secondary on day 13 with .3oz of wood that had been soaking in a cup of bulliet bourbon.

12/22/15: Racked to keg on day 23.

12/31/15: Tasted 1 month in with mild carbonation. Obviously a little thinner than I was going for but still delicious (4/5 stars). The coffee shines through and the bourbon is noticeable. I sort of wish the hops were bigger - maybe chinook would have been a better choice or perhaps more nugget. Goes to show that you can screw up and still make delicious beer. RDWHAHB!
