Brown stout - plan for tomorrow

[JKaranka]

Hiya!

Going to go for Victorian style brown stout so I can have some bottles still left by Xmas.

OG 1.064, FG 1.015, ABV 6.5%, 60IBU, 28SRM

Mash medium low:
8.5lb Pale malt (72%)
2.25lb Brown malt (19%)
13oz Amber malt (7%)
5oz Black patent malt (3%)

60 minute boil:
FWH - 1.5oz Challenger (46IBU)
20m - 0.75oz Challenger (14IBU)

Yeast: Nottingham

Depending on how it ferments I'd dry hop or not.

Lol, disaster of a brew day. Thermometer broke, ended up with lower efficiency (changed my mash schedule to gain time). Ended up with an OG of 1.052, added dark invert to make up to 1.060. On the plus side, gravity sample tasted great so I think I'm finally nailing the grist I like for porter / stout.
