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

This recipe was very close to the original except the way I made it with a dark roast cold coffee addition added a heavier coffee aroma...still a delicious brew! I'm very proud of this one!
