WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

"Greg's Classic Stout"

The only thing "classic" about this stout is that it's brewed the way Greg likes it! Nice and dry, but more hopped up and more alcoholic!

This is the first time I brewed with my new 21L pot, and I accidentally added too much water to the initial boil. I had to spend an extra 28 minutes boiling to get my volume down to fit the fermenter which resulted in an extra IBU kick. To preserve the flavour, I added the leftover hops for a 10min flavour infusion as the recipe initially intended.

Don't use jet black roasted barley. Look for a deep dark brown colour roasted barley. Black or chocolate malt is no substitute when making a "classic" stout. Steep at 65-71C for 30 minutes then remove with a strainer.

Add gypsum for 60min boil (or don't add it).

Use English hops (such as Northern Brewer, Goldings, Fuggles)

Use Irish Ale type yeast (or English ale if you must). Aerate wort very well.

Enjoy within 3-4 weeks from brew day.

Consider swapping out some dark malt extract for additional head retention malt.
