Taste Notes

This is delicious and I want to drink it all day. Cask/nitro is super smooth and creamy. Not too sweet, not too dry/bitter.

Notes

dry stout. based on the guinness 70/20/10 (base/flaked barley/black roasted barley) ratio. [[ BREW LOGS ]] 2017-1-7: - expected efficiency: 78; actual: 73 - proportions: 70/20/10 - 24g magnum - no 2-row, using MO for base - heated to 70, mashing at 67 - using the 64L kettle; will finish with 6.5-7G which should put 24L in the fermenter - testing boil-off rate: started with 7G (26.5) with 30m boil (range); ended up with 23L in the fermenter; next time fill to 7.25 or 7.5 for 30m boil - finished with OG 37 and 23L (one point off and one L off), 67% efficiency; updating recipe to 70% expected - pitched US-05 - FG 8, ABV 3.8% 2015-1-31 - 24l batch. expected efficiency: 80%, actual: 79% - mash: heating to 68; dropped to 66 after adding grains - used leftover yeast cake from IDC2 which was Notty. - proportions: 72/20/8 - bottle conditioning with 4g/l (table sugar). hoping that will work well with "pour hard" method (update: it does! as good as could be expected. not as good as the "injection" method, but it's passable) - 8% is good for the black barley but it's more of a dark brown when held up to the light. - Might go back to 10% next time.
