  Sure, could be the style. But still it lets me down every time. And there are few styles I
  don't like one or another example of. Perhaps its not just me... or there would be more
  versions of the style...

  Guiness. Remains the most overrated overhyped beer I know. Every twentysomething with the
  faintest hint of irish blood in him or a cousin that went to notre dame for a semester or who
  hangs out at the...

  Yeah funny... I posted (above) that I was consistently getting 83-85% with N. Brewer's standard
  crush... and then I went to brew Jamil's West Coast Blaster yesterday. When I looked at my
  grains they j...

  Tried this one again tonight and it is improving for sure. Feels thicker, tastes more roasty
  and strangely even looks a touch darker. I like where this is going.Thanks for the info on the
  P.B. that so...

  Probably work as good as any. It's fairly light as porter goes. I bottled mine on 7/11 and
  tried one 10 days later. It carbed up but the flavor did not wow me. However I am expecting
  this to get much ...

  Wow still down. It has come back in fits and spurts but has been mostly down. During a brief

  Did this one 2 days ago BIAB and got OG1.071. Smells like a chocolate malt milkshake at the top
  of the fermentor. FWIW 1 cup of maltodextrine weighs 3.75oz or 106.3g. For those who have been

  Goblet if you don't mind telling me, how did you do this? Did you make the 6 gal wine kit

  For comparison, I brewed this according to the recipe in January and had an OG 1.072 and a FG
  of 1.013. I pitched a half gallon starter of the same yeast you used. I will be bottling first
