Notes

BIAB:
Brewed on 12/08/2018
Yeast added: 12/09/2018
Secondary: 01/03/2019
Kegged: 01/13/2019
Target OG: 1.066
Target Wort Volume: 6 gal
Heated 8 gal water to 160F
Added grains to bag
Temperature stabilized to ~152F
After 20 minutes I had to turn on burner to add heat for ~5 minutes (exterior temp was 30F)
At 60 minutes steep iodine test showed conversion was complete
Raised bag and let it drip 15 minutes
Boil volume was 6.75 gal so I added 1qt 180F sparge water over the raised grain
Raised to boil and added all hops (I don’t think the hop type is important here, I was just adding leftover hops. The key is that they are mild in aroma and that you hit the beer style target IBU. You want the malt and complementing yeast to be the star for a stout.)
At 45 minutes added Irish moss
At 58 minutes added lactose, stirred, and Wort chiller
Knock out at 60 minutes and began cooling
It took about 30 minutes to bring down to 80F (30F ambient)
Final Wort volume was 6 gal
Drained to fermentor
OG measured at 1.066
Aerated wort for 20minutes
Overnight to finish cooling to 68F
Added yeast
Minimum 3 weeks in primary before move to secondary
Added coco nibs to secondary
Secondary for ~ 2 weeks to allow any remaining yeast to fall out of suspension
Keg and chill to 40 F
Force carbonate to 15 psi and ready to serve
