Notes
SG 8 May am 1.051 Temp peaked overnight to 24c brought down 8 hours later to 18c.
11 May 1.028 Chocolate flavour, no acid notes. Temp allowed to rise to 20 and carboy turned sharply to rouse yeast as some signs of slowing.
15 may 1.022 kept at 17c-ish, slight acid note develop from yeast. Yeast forming cake. Very low fermentation rate. Will warm very slightly and agitate.
15 may, Suspecting that dark malt+S04 yeast won't naturally go much over 57% attenuation on it's own, Calculate current, and near final ABV 3.8, therefore add 400g sucrose to bring projected final ABV close to target.
On adding sucrose, yeast went back to work almost immediately. It remains to be seen if the sucrose gives the yeast added activity to reach some of the more inaccessible sugars in the malt.
17 may AM SG back to 1.0218. Taste: fairly rounded. Fermentation slowing, yeast caking. Been at about 19c.
20 May PM SG 1.018 Temp increased due to weather to 22c, although fermentation more-or-less stopped. Classic porter flavour, yeast will be allowed to cake and ready for kegging.
21 May Kegged and gassed. Tastes awesome. Holds a smooth, ceamy head for 30 mins and presents like an Irish coffee. Enjoying at room temperature.
