Notes: Mashed with 5.5 gallons at 152 degrees for 60 minutes.
Sparged grains with 2 gallons of heated water to reach 7.5 gallons.
Pre-boil gravity was 10.51-1.052.
Increased boil time from 60 minutes to 90 minutes. Probably could have gotten away with around 75 minutes. My target fermenter volume should have been 5.5 gallons, but ended up being slightly less once the wort cooled.
Post-boil gravity was 1.066.
Cooled wort with immersion chiller down to 51 degrees in 24 minutes. Ambient temperature outside was roughly 41 degrees.
The color of the cooled wort is gorgeous.
The beer fermented for almost 7 days at a temperature ranging between 55-58 degrees. Days 2-6 were the most vigorous.
Sampled beer on day 7 and the gravity was 1.017!
Starting diacetyl rest on day 7 slowly taking beer up to 68 degrees. |

Notes: Pre-boil gravity 10.25 brix.
Post boil gravity
Hot break at beginning of boil largely skimmed off.
Brew day Wednesday October 2. Target OG of 1.047, actual was 1.052 (68% vs 63% efficiency).
Pitch 1/2 packet Nottingham rehydrated for 20 minutes in 4 oz cooled boiled water (partial tap) on Wed. October 9. Fridge set at 60F, ferment at 67-68 according to Carboy strip. Raise by 2 degrees Friday October 11 2013.
Transfer from primary to keg with 1.25 oz. Corn sugar on Saturday October 19 2013.
This beer turned out very nice and I'm still enjoying in mid December. One to make again for sure, perhaps with the WLP007 Dry English Ale yeast to compare. |

Notes: Brewed 3-28-15 with Briar and Nick
3.5 gal distilled strike water
Mashed at 150F for 60 min
3 batch sparges at 170F, used 3 more gal distilled and 5 gal San Jose tap water
First runnings 17.5P, 2nd runnings 9P, 3rd 5P.
80 minute boil
whirfloc at 15 min
yeast nutrient at 11min
Flameout...added hops
whirlpooled for 15 minutes due to wort chiller o-ring coming out of housing. Was only supposed to be a 10 min hop stand. Not too concerned.
Chilled to 80F, got it into 6-gal glass carboy and set in fridge. Took 1.5 hours to get from 80F to 62F pitching temp. Started re-hyrating yeast roughly 1.5 hours too early. Yeast sat in sanitized measuring cup with tin foil over the top for 40 minutes.
OG = 1.049 = right on
Oxygenate wort for 2 min with pure O2 and stone
Less than 5 gallons into fermentor. Maybe 4.5
It took 1.5 hours to get from 80F to 64F
Oxygenated for 2 min and pitched at 64F
Let beer free rise once US-05 was pitched from 64-67F and kept at 67F from 2 weeks. Cold crashed for 1 week at 35F, then bottled with 4oz priming sugar. Didn't taste beer before cold crashing. Tasted beer after 11 days in bottle and it taste like first IPA...little buttery and "homebrew" tasting. Not sure if yeast was underpitched. First IPA was US-05 as well. |

Notes: A fairly close grain bill to authentic Irish stout... but I like chocolate so there you have it.
Named after my father's character of choice in the SCA, Lord Aegirjon of Cathanar.
1.5 starter used.
Fermented at 65F until FG is achieved... Normally takes 2 week or so.
Cacao in the secondary at 68F for 7 days or to taste...
Condition for 2 weeks minimum, and you shall have a fantastic chocolatey, creamy, dry Irish stout. |
