Notes

BREWGR NOTES

Rate: 5/10

ABV: 6.3
Yeast: Lallemand Nottingham
Attenuation: 75–85%
My attenuation: 72%
Aroma: Slightly fruity, easters and neutral.
Do differently: As ever the high ABV helped.

Recipe: OG: 1061 FG: 1021 ABV: 5.25%
Achieved: OG: 1064 FG: 1018 ABV: 6.3%

Notes:

  • Ridiculously weirdly carbonated. Fizzed like coke then totally flat in under 5 seconds.
  • Online recipe. Imperial Yeast A10 Darkness recommended. Also, after a week add 800ml made coffee and Jarrylo hops. Didn’t do either.
  • Subtle coconut taste, I think that’s good.
  • Will try dedicated coconut next time?
  • Didn’t grind beans. Next time.

    Do again: Another recipe yes. Liked it. And I’d love to nail it. The carbonation was ok but head retention was zero.
