Notes

Goal: smooth, full, complex stout without the bitterness of highly roasted malts or the sweetness of too much caramel/crystal malt. Initial taste from OG pull was incredible! Lots of coffee and chocolate notes, very smooth, no bitterness. Expecting more character and balance to come out post fermentation and conditioning.

0.35oz orange peel @5 min (McCormmick's Dried Valencia)
Added the brown sugar at end of boil

Due to volume constraint, mashed with 7.5 gal, then "sparged" BIAB with half gal (170 deg) in bucket. Started boil with 7 gal.

Collected 1L of pre-boiled wort, boiled separately for 5 min, used as yeast starter (1.052, since pre-boil and brown sugar not added yet). Pitched 24 hrs later.

Ferment at 65 for 3 days, then raise to 68-70 for 4 weeks. No secondary. Bottle at 4 weeks, bottle condition for 3-4 months.

Pilsner malt & white wheat were leftovers from a previous brew. Recommend replacing with extra 1 lb maris otter or victory.

This beer was great! After 2 months (1 month in fermenter, 1 month bottled), Smooth, flavorful, with primary flavors of sweet smoke and chocolate/coffee. Jet black, huge thick head, medium bodied. Ended drier than expected, but well balanced. Very slight heat from the ABV, but deceptively smooth. The smokiness, while I loved it, it did cover up the flavor complexity I expected, but maybe that would have come out with more age. This is a great fall/winter beer.
