Hey guys. Here is what I am drinking:
11 Gallon Batch
79% total efficiency
OG 1.042
FG 1.009
Yeast 001
24 IBU
Single infusion at 156 for 60 minutes.
10 Minute mashout at 168.
Fly sparged
12# Maris Otter
3# Crystal 60
14oz Chocolate
2.5oz Mt Hood [4.9%] @ 60 Minutes (23 IBU)
1oz Mt Hood [4.9%] @ 1 Minute (.4 IBU)
1oz Santiam [6.6%] @ 1 Minute (.5 IBU)
Pure o2 injection at 1lpm for a couple minutes. Fermented at 65 degrees F. Kegged and force carbonated to 2.3 vol.
There is just something lacking about this beer. I am going to brew it again tomorrow but I can't put my finger on what to change. I think it needs more body. I was thinking about dropping a pound of maris and subbing with another pound of c60. Or maybe some c120? I have both (by the sack so no shortage...). The chocolate is nice but maybe a smidge too much. I also have some brown malt and roasted barley. I don't want to turn it into a stout. It is nice and dark but you can still see through it when the light shines just right.
I have my starter just wrapping up right now. Should have about 500 billion cells of wlp001. I am pitching this at 1 mil/ml/*P.
