I had a great brew day with some friends yesterday. We brewed up 10 gallons of this fantastic milk stout.
I had a HELL of a time with my barley crusher, so after a few hours of messing with it, we finally got it working. The gap was larger than desired, so I did a double crush.
According to the efficency calculations, I ended up with 93% efficency.
Since I only had two 1/4 kegs to ferment in, I wanted to keep them close to 5.5 gallons ea. I added some extra wort from the last of the second runnings (about 1.019) to lower the gravity, but I ended up with 11 gal @ 1.077 OG (at 10mins left in the boil prior to adding the milk stout)
I'm looking at about 10.5 gallons of ~ 7-7.5%
I'm happy!
