----------------------------
Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
60 min Mash In Add 9.57 gal of water at 161.3 F 154.0 F
Brewed this with McStout. Sort of a throw-together recipe using whatever stuff I happen to have on hand: American Hops and some stout grains.
After brewing, left boil kettle in snowbank overnight to chill. Next day heat up on stove and pitched yeast. I think the extra soaking time affected the hops rate, as this was very hoppy at the start. Several months of aging mellowed them out a bit, but they are still pronounced yet. A no-chill method would replicate this if you were so inclined.
Water was adjusted for dark and balanced.
Scored 42.5 in BJCP judging at Siciliano's Market's Homebrew Day competition and made BOS round.
Hope you like it!
