what are you brewing today or this weekend?
i got the day off from work. my plans involve blues and metal cds, racking an Oatmeal Stout to carboy, and brewing this Wee Heavy. this is the second time brewing this, the first batch was brewed for my girlfriends birthday and bottled for mine (6 months apart) and tastes amazing! the best beer i've made. it had been stuck at 1.040 for months but eventually dropped from 1.080 to 1.012! hopefully this one comes out as good.
steep:
1lb crushed crystal
1oz roasted barely
6oz american chocolate
6lbs extra light malt
3lbs amber malt
1oz of kent goldings @ 60min
some dry yeast (i'd used wyeast scotch last time but ended up adding so much dry i don't think it made a difference)
3 gallon boil
5.25 gallon batch
estimated og: 1.080
estimated fg: 1.020
color: 21 SRM
bitterness: 20 IBU
estimated alcohol : 7.7%
