Notes

1) Used distilled H2O with addition of Magic Minerals (from Brewhardware)
2) Equipment used was a US type Grainfather. Extraction Efficiency was 81%
3) Actual OG was 1.062 after addition of 0.5 gallons cold water
4) This recipe was modified to add Crystal 40L, lower boil time and mash time to 60 min. Also yeast was changed to Danstar Nottingham

Fermentation was carried out at 65F

Very rich flavor with chocolate and coffee profile. Will make again.
