Notes

Minor disaster...lost 0.75 gallons of wort while aerating on tile floor -
slipped out of my hands & spilled :(

Since I removed most of the cocoa nibs from the wort (didn't put nibs in muslin bag or mesh ball), added 1.5 oz to fermentor at day 10 (Depth Charge)

Did not add cold-brew Kona - added 1.5 oz of Guatamalen beans into fermentor at day 10 (Depth Charge)

  • Brewed on 10/7, plan to bottle on 10/22
  • OG: 1.081, FG: 1.020 --> 8.0% abv
