Notes

Ferment at 66F for 10 days
Cold crash for 2 days
Transfer to serving keg and burst carb at 30 psig and 34F for 36 hours then burp and set at serving pressure. Let cold condition for 1 week before serving.


Version 1:
2019 Dominion Cup 2nd place in Category 19
Avg. Score = 34

Feedback was not enough malt complexity and not enough hop presence. Add more hop bitterness and combinations, and increase chocolate malt.

For version 2;
Added Chinook hops, increase chocolate malt, split crystal between 60 and 120, switched base to Maris Otter. Doing a no sparge method to retain grain flavor, so bumped the estimated efficiency down to 65%

(future) Version 3;
Go back to batch sparge, use yeast that ferments a little less dry. Dial back hops, switch to pale chocolate malt instead of regular.
