Notes

4-16-2017
Brewday. What a mess. I'm not sure if it was being unfamiliar with darker malts, or that I ground my grain too fine, but the bag became clogged within a few minutes. Pretty much had to stir and scrape the bag for the entire 90 min mash. The upside to this is that is that I hit 80% efficiency, my highest ever. And this beer is going to now be an 8.5% monster.

Also had some wild temp fluctuations while trying to figure out why my sparge was sticking. 1st I forgot to turn the heat down to 156 while adding grain, so it stayed at 165 for a couple of minutes. Then, when everything was getting backed up, the top kettle temp dropped into the 130's while the bottom temp probe showed 154. Eventually, with a lot of stirring, it all evened out about 30 minutes into the mash.

OG = 1.080

Rehydrated and pitched the K-97 at the same time as the US-05 for the Garage Floor IPA.

5-15-2017
Transferred to keg. FG=1.021, 7.74% ABV

Finally finished this off. Was a very smooth drinking stout for my first try. Next time try some vanilla and a little less of the chocolate roast flavor.
