Notes

This is an example of the phrase "time fixes everything".. You may worry that my ingredients are obscure, that is because this is my way of clearing out my inventory of ingredients every summer, I may have a few pounds of a Belgium malt, or half an ounce of a German hop.. throw it all in, make it dark (coffee malt and roasted barley are required, if you have some baking chocolate, throw that in, a solid hop bittering foundation of 2 oz of magnum is good start.

This will take a month in the fermenter, it will want to overflow. Give it time.

This will need to age 2 or 3 months in the keg.

Brew before 4 th of July if you want to drink at Halloween, if you brew in August you may miss Christmas.

Also, the higher temps in the summer are beneficial here, you may need to throw in some wine yeast if the SG gets stuck north of 1.025
