I based my stout recipe on this. It's about a week and a half in the keg and if I don't keep my paws off of it, it will be gone before it's really good.
I added oats and black patent, so it's different than the original, but this recipe was definitely the inspiration. I'm going to make a few small tweaks and call this my house stout.
Well, other than the lactose all went great.
I ended up at 1.044 due to a water calculation error (I ended up with 8.5 in the brew pot instead of 8. I probably should have just boiled it for an extra 1/2 hour...)
The wort tasted excellent
My attenuation on this was real low, it only fermented down to 1.013.
But it still tastes pretty good.
I am going to leave out the lactose unless it drops down a point or two before I keg it next weekend...
