The temps are getting cooler here in NY so it’s the right time to open some stouts I’ve been holding onto.

One more tonight. It’s crazy to see 3 Floyd’s on the shelves in NY! It’s ok...

If anyone on here sends me a friend request on Untappd and I decline it’s nothing personal. I’ve received a bunch of friend requests on there and it’s sometimes hard figuring out if it’s someone from here or not. Especially if your username isn’t the same or close. If that happens please message me on here.

Black coffee while brewing an Irish Extra Stout. The color is going to be way off - although BrewGr had it much darker. Going to be an Irish Extra Dry Brown Ale.

I’m experiencing the same problem with a Guinness clone in my fermenter right now. My last batch had an ashy taste so I backed off the roasted barley on this one... now it’s too light, bordering on brown. I’m thinking of cold steeping the 2 oz I left out, boiling that, then adding at kegging to get my color back where it needs to be. I’ll make that decision this weekend when it’s scheduled to be kegged.

I tried to make a sort of kellerpils and seem to have failed. Getting just a slight bandaidiness that’s completely ruining everything else. Might need to quit direct pitching slurry as it’s the second time this has happened this year. Maybe it’ll condition out...

Needed another to make up for the disappointment.

It’s a bit frustrating. I looked back at a Milk Stout that I brewed last year and used the same % of roasted and % of black malt (vs. chocolate). Brewgr had it very dark (SRM = 41) but it is certainly a brown ale. And I hit my efficiency as well.
