Pre-Boil was spot on... Likely high OG because boiled for too long (with smaller pre-boil volume than "normal"). Given rate of "normal" boil-off is approximately 0.5gal/30 minutes.. Would shoot for 66 minute boil next time (5.5gal / 7gal = x / 5gal, x=3.92 gal). |

17:00 - Gravity down to 1.030 all ready! Fermenter still bubbling aggressively. Unplugged the cold + warm settings of Ranco, set Ferm Temp to 70F. Awaiting Exothermic activity to drive temperature up to reconnect S1,S2.
Sampe was drawn 42 hours after pitching. Consider sample at 30-32 hours next time to drive up temperature. |

Room Temp: Smell is primarily sweet, dark chocholate with very minimal hints of alcohol.
Taste is fairly "roasty" with hints of coffee, chocolate and primarily tobacco? Still taste some intermediate alcohols (i believe) and this beer should probably sit in primary for another week. |

** Sample Taken with Finishing Hydrometer **
Room Temp: Smell is similar to prior sample, but maybe a touch more sweetness than "dark" chocolate. The alcohol shining through smells more like "finished" alcohol than intermediate.
Taste has smoothed out from last sample, very nice balance of chocolate, coffee, tobacco and everything seems to be blending together. Minimal alcohol burn, and again, alcohol tastes more like finishing rather than intermediary alcohols |
