Notes
| Brew day 11/9/13 used starter with stir plate. Very active fermentation needed blow off tube by second day. Transferred to secondary 11/16/13 wort continued to ferment for 5 more days. I had intended for this to be dark amber, but it taste more like a porter. Friends and family really like this one. 11/09/13: OG 1.071 11/16/13: MG 1.017 12/21/13: FG 1.010 ABV: 7.988 Bottled on 12/21/13 |
