As the seasons are turning colder here in the UK, plus I really like stouts and porters, I’ve been brewing some of the different styles of stout to explore them a little more.<\/p>\n

Aware that the festive season was fast approaching I had negotiated with “The Supreme Goddess” (as my wife is known) and booked out a series of brewing days where I could disappear into the Skip and Anchor safe in the knowledge of being undisturbed.\u00a0 (This is somewhat of a fallacy as the rest of the family can’t stand the smell so generally steer well clear.)<\/p>\n

        Notes<\/h2>\n

        Brew Day<\/h3>\n

        Brew day progressed well. No issues with the mash, vorlauf or sparge and hit all the numbers.<\/p>\n

        I did forget the Irish Moss at the end of the boil, but the clarity of the finished product seems fine.\u00a0 Have started ensuring I get the container out and put it on the shelf near the boiler so I don’t forget in future.<\/p>\n

        Fermented for 1 week at 20\u2103, then for a further 2 weeks at 12\u2103. Then transferred to Corny keg and carbonated at 6\u2103 in the kegerator.<\/p>\n

        Tasting Notes<\/h3>\n

        Very happy with the outcome and have had a positive response from all those that have tried it. Now just need to try and ensure it isn’t all consumed by the time Christmas comes around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
