Notes

Beer was brewed on April 26, 2019.

During the mash, I stirred the grains several times to try to improve mash efficiency. I also wanted to make sure I had enough enzymatic activity because my diastatic power was somewhat low at 30. This is why I did a protein rest for 30 minutes. I wanted a dry stout, so I did two saccharin rests, one at 145 and then one at 152.

The original %Brix was 16.9%, which converts to OG = 1.069. I also measured using a hydrometer and obtained the same results (1.070). This gives a mash efficiency of 72%.

Transferred to keg on May 17, 2019. Final %Brix was 8.9%, which when adjusted for alcohol content converts to 1.017 FG. This yields a 6.92% ABV.

4 oz of cacao nibs were infused in 10 oz vodka for 2 days and transferred to keg at time of beer transfer. This adds 0.62% ABV, for a total of 7.53% ABV
