Modified from Mad Fermentationalist for use with extract and steeping grains. Only chocolate wheat was available. Flameout hops were bagged and squeezed, cold break was low, added 3 g gypsum to steep water. Think about steeping dark grains in cool water, getting proper grains according to all grain recipe, topped up with water from 19 to 20.5 L to match predicted gravity. May add maltodextrin to make up for high attenuation of US-05

Tasting Notes (2)

Notes:

Appearance is darker than expected, cut back on darker color grains. Aroma is molasses, banana and burnt fig. Could use more dry hop. Mouthfeel is fuller than most, could be more sweet. Bitter is the right balance. Be care with hop bag to seal top. Keg residue shows hops leaking out. Flavour has malt start, roast chocolate middle and hoppy, slight vegetal end with astringent grain dryness. Go all grain next time.

Notes:

This yeast goes too far. Try lower attenuation next time. Head is full at first, tapers to a constant cover, slight lacing.
