Newbie brewer here
My first brew is 5 gallons of Midwest Irish Stout. According to the reviews on the Midwest site they say it comes out close to a Guiness.
I am finding it to be closer to a Newcastle (more of a nut brown color/taste).
Any ideas? I followed the directions precisely.
It spent one week in the primary and has currently been in the secondary for 1 week. (after doing a lot of reading I probably didn't need to move to a secondary but too late now).
I plan on leaving in secondary one more week and bottling next Sunday.
OG 1.050
Gravity last Sunday when moving from primary to secondary 1.020
Gravity today 1.018
