First all grain came out great, modified bkfst stout

[HOPCousin]

I just bottled my first all grain brew which was a modified Founder's breakfast stout clone. It came out great.

I did a 3 gallon batch to keep my equipment down.

The flavors are all there except I changed the coffee addition to the last 2.5 oz.'s at 5 minutes and i think my chocolate is most likely different bitter sweet bakers chocolate at the end of the boil.

I'll have to see how it conditions but the coffee flavor is less burnt than the original which is why I changed it, I know it might affect head retention but it doesn't bother me.

Mashed at 153-154 with an original gravity of 1.079 finishing at around 1.020
Feeling pscyhed to do an all grain IPA next!

Good to hear it turned out good. Fire up another!

I grabbed a bottle of the original out of the basement and noticed their chocolate falvor coming out nicely. I will see how it ages and maybe the coffee will calm down a bit and let the chocolate come through more.

Next up I have a hop devil/blue boots grain profile with some chinook, columbus, fuggles, cascade, and homegrown whole flower columbus for dry hopping in cue. I f I can get the time I'll probably brew it tomorrow now that my favorite fermenter is empty. Plus if I expect to let that stout age a bit I'm going ot need something else around to drink fresh lol...
I have it calucated at 78 ibu's and abv around 6.7%.
