WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Currently experimenting with using a basic sweet stout recipe with modifications. Updating coming on or later from 4/18/2022.

Started brewing 4/4/2022

Secondary tincture of Cuban Coffee Freshly brewed on 4/11/2022

Kegged 4/18/2022 for one more week of fermenting

Served to the EXP200 class on 4/25/2022. it was a success, and can be worked on throughout the brewing and fermenting process.

Notes on Taste:

It is a strong, bitter coffee stout. I mixed it with some of my creamer and it almost tasted like coffee in the morning. However, that is my take on making this recipe.

I don't know if any additions of the creamer I use in the fermentation process will help make it taste like drinking coffee, but overall, this is a decent recipe.
