Half of the honey was caramelized to black colour & bittersweet taste.
Cold steeped 50 g coffee with 100 g dark malt O/N at RT in 500 ml water. Added post boil at 100 F.
topped water up to 1 gal in bucket - OG is 1.070 July 18. Add more honey later? I think honey PPG numbers in here are exaggerated.
Pitched 1 pack fairly old omega gulo ale at 88 F (I was impatient)
Made sure wort was somewhat aerated and will ferment open at ambient T.
Aug 11 - SG is 1.013 - 7.48 %abv - coffee flavour there, dark colour, some fruity (lemon/lime/citrus/generic fruit) notes, some licorice/spice/marshmallow note as well. Alcoholic bite there. Think it needs to age?
Aug 15 - SG is 1.010 - 7.88 %abv. tasty.
Aug 30 - SG is 1.001 - Must be done
