Step Time Name Description Step Temp
60 min Saccarification Add 18.38 qt of water at 166.2 F 156.0 F
Tasting notes:
fairly thick in body, when I racked to the secondary I had problems keeping the siphon it was so thick but after carbonation its a lot less syrupy.
It has a distinct roasted coffee scent and just a hint of the williamette hops.
It has a nice roasted taste without any astringency with a good malt backbone to balance the roast and hop bitterness.
Overall it has the classic qualities you would expect from a stout with just a little bit of coffee flavor and aroma.
The recipe was thrown together at the last minute but I'm very happy with the outcome, the only changes I plan to try next time are cutting back on the coffee malt and subbing fuggles for the williamette.
