Two brews in three days. This is the recap of the sweet stout brewing day.
The weather wasn’t the best this morning. The cold rain turned over to big snowflakes and then back to rain. This brew dude plowed through with a rigorous boil and a winter coat with a hood.
The dark grains mashed well with the Maris Otter malt.
The black gold poured down from the mash tun. The 60 minute boil met with some snow and rain during the hour but I covered it up while it cooled.
After it was chilled, the spigot of the kettle was opened and it poured through the funnel and into the fermentor. I aerated and pitched my WLP002 starter. I decanted some of the liquid off of the top of the yeast cake and swirled around the rest. This strain is chunky! It’s fermenting right next to the harvest ale and I’ll post more when we get to the conditioning phase.
