Got a silver in the sweet stout competition a few months ago with this brew. Thanks to the OP.
Did you brew this exactly as the OP? I'm brewing a milk stout soon and am seeking the best recipe I can find
I'm brewing this tomorrow morning and am pretty excited to see how it turns out! Based on what I've read, this will be delicious.
I brewed this as a 2.5 gallon batch 2 weeks ago and bottled it yesterday. The hydrometer sample was fantastic. Just about hit the numbers as in the recipe (1.060 Original Gravity, 1.020 Final Gravity). I had some Wyeast 1728 slurry (Scottish Ale) from a wee heavy I had brewed prior. Really looking forward to this one being carbed up and ready to drink.
Mine was primed to about 2.3 volumes. I'm not sure what that translates to in keg pressure but I feel it's just about right for a stout.I just kegged this, and the sample I pulled was damn good. Anyone have recommendations for carbing pressure? I don't want to wait forever to drink it but I also don't want to ruin it by over-carbing

I ordered my ingredients (slightly different that OP) today. Using Black Full water profile, will mash at 154*F, and pH at 5.4

Bru'n water works best on PC since it's designed to be used with Excel. It takes some poking around but I've found it to be pretty intuitive once you get used to it. You can put in that you're diluting your tap water by 100% with RO water and then add your grain bill and target style. You'll have to fiddle with the amounts of each addition in order to match the target addition amounts.Anyone have suggestions for water profile/additions? Using 8 gallons distilled water, BIAB. I'm trying to play around with bru'n water on my phone with no success, and Id like to brew this tomorrow
It's hard to say but plugging your salt additions in for my equipment profile and batch size skews it by a lot. Is that the amount added to the batch or just the mash? It seems like way too much.Any thoughts on how these numbers/additions look?
It's up to you, honestly. I probably had something skewed in the spreadsheet because my pH was way low. It seemed to cooperate for my last brew but who knows.I played around with Bru'n water a bit. Does this look better?
How did it turn out using that water profile? I used local spring water without any additions and it turned out damn good, but I know theres room for improvement if I start with ro/distilled and build up the water
Did you like using BRY-97 for this beer?, i'm tempting of also using it or maybe using WLP002 or 1318.It turned out excellent! Smooth, rich, easy drinking. View attachment 564546
