Chose a day when the winds were blowing and it was pissing down rain on me, but I finally brewed for the first time in nine months and it fanned the flame. I can't wait to do it again! In fact I got better efficiency than I have in the past...who would have thought.
It is perking right along in the garage with a little heating blanket keeping it warm although it is sitting right around 67*f currently, so not too worried.

Dark Knight Stout
10Gallon Batch
17lbs Two Row
1.5lbs Chocolate Malt
1.5lbs Black Roasted Malt
.75lbs Black Patent
.5lbs CaraVienne (as I had it on hand, normally go with Crystal 80L)
3lbs Flaked Oats
1oz Cascade @ FWH
3oz Cascade @ 60min
Whirilifloc @ 15 min
S-04 Yeast

I have done this recipe many times and love to have it on hand as a nice and easy drinking stout that I love to offer up to the non Craft crowd. It is amazingly smooth and creamy, not too much ashtray (especially after some time) but enough to taste like a stout instead of a porter. Typically get it down to right about 1.014-1.016. Lower makes for less body and higher is too sweet.
