Well, with the cold weather, its back to the garage to brew. Here are some photos from our brew day, plus basic introductory text, intended for non- or very new- brewers.

We brewed up a Cream Stout.

yummmm!!! 158* mash sounds like and great combo for a sweet think stout. never thought of mashing that high but will give it a shot, maybe a nice double chocolate for me.
keep it up

We mashed last year's cream stout at 158* and it turned out well. Yesterday, we hit the mash temp exactly, and our original gravity was also spot on our target - 1.058

New brewer here, gonna get a cider out of my primary and I wanted my first beer to be a creme stout. Got a good extract recipe for it? I found one in the recipe list, but if you've got a better, I'm not married to it!

There's an extract version of a cream stout in this thread, a few posts down. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/singing-boys-cream-stout-149551/
