Gold, Dark British Beer, 16B. Oatmeal Stout
Silver, Dark British Beer, 16A. Sweet Stout
Tallahasee Classic 2020
- 8 gal, all in
- short on oats by .4 lbs (adjusted in recipe)
- mash in @ 160-1 (got high — the beer, not me)
— drop to 154 all around (instead of 152)
— 20: 151-2; 40: 149-51; 60: 144-48
- lots of liquid left in grains/bag; more pushing/squeezing than usual
- 7 gal pre-boil
- decently consistent boil; remembered whirlfloc
- just under 6 gal post-boil and chill
- 1L starter made with Proper Starter, pitched @ 64 after 17 hours
- significant activity within 10 hours; airlock filled with krausen by 12-14
— actually killed foam on top, swirled and changed air lock
-- large, clear bubbles (nothing like I've seen before) by 24 hours; no real krausen but plenty of airlock activity
-- temp to 68 after 48 hours; no clear activity
-- garage temps colder than freezer temps; moved inside/slight swirl after about 55 hours, but haven't seen much activity first 48 hours
