Recipe:
4 ¾ lb liquid dark malt extract
1 lb dry dark malt extract
1.5 lb roasted barley
1lb flaked barley
¼ lb black patent malt
1 oz Fuggles pellet hops 4% alfa acid
1tsp Irish moss
S04 dry yeast
I mashed the grains for 1/2 hour @ 160 deg
Boiled the wort for 60 min.
all the hops at the begining of the boil no finishing hops
Made a yeast starter
O.G. 1.048
Does this sound like the Dry Irish Stout that I hope it will be?
What F.G. should I expect to get?
It took 18 hours to get vigerous in the bubbler and it stayed vigerous for two days. Now it's down to about 40 seconds between bubbles. Should I take my next gravity reading?
Won't I get a head of oxygen in the bucket if I take off the lid to take the reading?
I'm planning to go straight to liter size bottles, so would I be advised to let it stay in the primary a while after the hydrometer says its done?
Thanks guys, Art
