Notes

The main beer is being made without the carafa. Double batch brew day, then I'll steep the carafa grains on their own, boil that liquor and add at flameout to one of the two batches. I am going to ferment in kegs, but this time I'm going to transfer both beers instead of brighting in the keg.

If I do one gallon for the carafa part, I should get about a 1.028 gravity out of that, so that with 3.5 gallons of main beer @ 1.056 into a keg fermentation vessel should come out to 1.049 or so. Also add a 1/2 oz of hops for a 15 minute boil of that schwarz part to get the IBU a bit higher on the on that half.
