After entering all the fermentables that I had on hand, my "stout" came out as a Porter. I'm good with that.

Tasting Notes (2)

DesertBrewers

Tasted on 8/11/2017 by DesertBrewers

Notes:

Humm. Warm tasting had bitter notes and not as much sweetness as I might have expected. Great fragrance. FG was 1.022. If I raise the efficiency to 65% I can get a 1.022 for my FG, but then my OG goes up to 1.072, and that was not the OG I got before fermenting.

DesertBrewers

Tasted on 7/28/2017 by DesertBrewers

Notes:

Our tested OG was 1.062 while the recipe predicted 1.070. We think we had too much water in the mash which left us too little room to fully sparge. This lowered our alcohol from 7.3% to 5.6% and our calories dropped from 256 to 211 calories/12 oz. As for taste prior to the 14 day fermenting, the Porter was mildly sweet with a distinctive hoppy taste and fragrance. If the results are good, our next batch will be made with 5.5 gallons for the boil and 2 gallons of 173º sparge water.
