Malt Miller Kit

ABV: 5.2%
Yeast: Fermentis Safale S-04
Attenuation: 74-82%
My attenuation: 72%
Aroma: Fruity and floral notes
Do differently: Just keep ABV high.

Recipe: OG: 1056 FG: 1018 ABV: 5%
Achieved: OG: 1054 FG: 1014.5 ABV: 5.2%

Notes:

First brew with new kettle and "rolling" boil feature. Led to about 3 litres more beer.
Second attempt at recipe. Undershot ABV before but still forgot the Chocolate and no Sodium Chloride (salt) this time. Plus added all chems to Sparge as well as to mash by mistake. Which I think I can taste.
Don’t forget choc. No coffee beans. And try a really good yeast?

Do again: Not my style but yeah, good to have a stout in the shed.
