Notes

Followed the Bourbon County Stout tutorial on Homebrew Supply. It was quite in depth

https://www.homebrewsupply.com/learn/bourbon-county-stout-clone-recipe.html

Their oxygen and spaced out nutriuent regimen were a big help and even though it was my first big stout I had no fermentation problems

"You should also consider oxygenating twice, once at pitch, and once 12 hours later, to ensure the yeast has all it needs during its reproductive phase. You can charge your beer up to 8ppm of oxygen using an air pump oxygenation kit. In addition, you should look to add extra yeast nutrient to the beer. Adopting a staggered nutrient addition regiment, similar to that used by mead makers to ensure healthy and complete fermentations in high stress scenarios. Instead of adding the entire dose of nutrients when you pitch your yeast, simply add 1/3 of a full dose at pitch, another 1/3 after the lag phase has ended, and a final 1/3 a day later."
