Notes: - yeast starter of 1L to wake up yeast

- hop aroma and target 28 - 30 IBU no more no less
- use various yeast strains, try thing that fermejnt dry frist, but don't be afraid to true less attenuative yeasts. This is supposed to act like a yeast experimental brew.
- if FG due to yeast higher than 1.014 drop some crystal malts in favor of ESB malt
- Mash lower for less attenuative yeasts like WLP002.
- Should I use a 1.75 Qt/lb or stick to 1.25? - what is typical of british beers???
-**consider trying an open bucket fermentation, like on BTV episode 4 (consider fermenting slightly cooler if open) - for an open ferment, use wy1275 or wy1335 and use in swamp cooler style for temp control and cheese cloth***
-CONSIDER mashing for 90 mins instead of 60 to increase attenuation (still at 153/54)
- Mashing thin appears to induce a stronger malt profile?
-Ferment for 1 week to 2 weeks, then bottle, no longer than 2 weeks to prevent clean up, consider performing a D-rest, then reducing to cellar temps of 55F for conditioning phase after primary is over.
- Perhaps use Wy1968 as a baseline of open vs closed, then explore other strains?
- Does using sugar help the ester profile by "artificially" darkening the wort? Ie, using higher kilned malts may slightly inhibit ester production??? *answers* = Dunno? experiment with dark grains vs. dark sugars.
- Pitch proper amount of yeast, so moderate starter, and aerate the beer well to encourage healthy fermentation.
- Maintain final temp (whatever i choose like 63F) until FG is reached, and stir up yeast if attenuation is under. Once FG reached crash cool to 45F then rack to secondary and condition for another week at 55F? or lower?
- "Just a word of warning: If you really are planning on bottling this batch, I would make sure your final gravity is low enough to ensure the yeast don't reactivate once in the bottle. This yeast is notorious for going dormant in the fermenter only to 'wake up' after bottling, eating both the priming sugar and residual sugars in the beer; producing an over-carbonated, cidery taste. I've seen this happen soo many times, both in my own beers and while judging. For that reason, I rarely bottle carbonate beer fermented with this yeast. If I absolutely have to do it, I will crash cool the beer to near freezing as to flocc as much of the yeast out and then bottle using some US-05/champagne yeast. It doesn't always happen, but just be aware that it might."
- "It's all about fermentation control. Start with healthy yeast, aerate well, and don't let your fermentation temps fluctuate. Pitch below fermentation temperature, let rise to 68F for most of the fermentation, give it a good d-rest at 70F for a few days, then crash cool before kegging/bottling. All this should not take more than 2 weeks; and you'll still have a clean, flavorful beer."
- consider priming with fresh wort, or DME to avoid cidery flavors from 1968/002 or any of the other brittish yeasts*
- Pitch low (63F) then free rise to 68F till half ferm, then drop to 63F till FG then crash cool and rack to secondary, then raise to cellar??? 55f?? or bottle? or condition at 43F?
- once 1/5 to 1/4 to FG crash cool to 43F for 2 days followed by raising to 50F to cellar for min 2 weeks followed by chilling beer to -1 and hold for 1 week (to chill proof for bottling - but is filtered and flash pasteurized) so maybe got to FG to crash cool.
- also to note, the fullers beer is parti gyled, so there is no sparge which leads to fuller malt expression.
- fullers parti gyle method is to run the liquid off until they've reach their target volume, then divert to a second kettle for the other wort??
-oxidative flavor is present, but subdued. How to achieve it???

Notes: If you're not from USA, and the northeast at that, Otis Spunkmeyer used to be a brand of cookies found in various locations. The idea was your store would get the dough, and a little oven, and with little effort you could pump out the most amazing Chocolate Chip Cookies, all warm and gooey. This beer is a love letter to those days. Shooting for warm, biscuity, bready malt body, with notes of sweet chocolate, vanilla, and a bit of coffee/toffee/other "dessert" notes from the secret weapon, Black Treacle. Speaking of which, for the wort, DON'T actually use American or Black Strap molasses, but instead Lyle's Black Treacle, from Amazon. Crazy good stuff. Loads of flavors.

Let the primary fermentation run it's course (shoot for 14 days on the trub), and then let it sit for seven days on a slit open vanilla bean in a secondary vessel. At packaging (I'm using a corny keg), add 16 oz. of Ghirardelli chocolate syrup. Dark beers being mysterious, you'll get a bang for your buck aging and conditioning this, the longer the better. That said, that treacle works wonders, and after only one week (21 days in primary and secondary, and 7 to condition) you'll still have a surprisingly complex dark treat. Between that, the chocolate malt grain, and the lactose sugar to leave residual sweetness, you should get a nice chocolate effect to go with the malt. Hops should balance this malty, chocolatey treat for these last chilly days before summer and its sours, wheats, and IPAs...

Filter hops by putting a 5 gallon paint strainer bag into the primary and pouring wort through the strainer before pitching yeast

Rehydrate US-05 prior to pitching
1) Warm the dry yeast to room temperature
2) In a sanitized container, prepare 1/2 cup of sterile water at 95-105°F
3) Sprinkle the dry yeast on top of the water, trying to avoid setting up large, dry clumps.
4) Let sit 15 minutes, then gently stir.
5) When the yeast has reconstituted, gently stir again to form a cream and let sit another 5 minutes.
6) Carefully and slowly, adjust the temperature of the yeast to within 15°F of the wort temperature.
7) Pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel, ideally as soon as possible.
