Notes

Oops did not adjust mash efficiency for the high OQ. Overrnight mash suggested so.. Mashed in at 66.5C, dropped to 63.5C over 2.5 hours. Added hot water to bring to 69C, dropped to 63C over 6 hours. Then added dark grains, stirred and sparged. Once collected had 41 litres at 1061 - 70% mash efficiency. Added a load of caster sugar that had set hard - somewhere between 1 and 1.5 kg. Brought it to 43 litres at 1075 - almost perfect, was meant to be :-) Pitched onto Mandrill Mild yeast cake Added sinamar in keg to up darkness.

Big malty body and beautifully smooth with hints of chocolate and vanilla. Lovely!
