NB Chocolate Milk Stout Brew Session

Mash on stove in kitchen in older/thinner pot, a little seal leakage - took a bit too long to bring to mash temp, but after that fine. This allowed using the second big pot to be used to heat the sparge water quickly (?10-15 min) to 170 for sparging. Then slowly pour pyrex qt. measure cups over grain bed while draining into fermenter bucket. Didn't use tubular strainer - just grain bag with long spoon between bag and spigot to allow flow 4/5/2018 - 5 days in 1.026 gravity (down from 1.062), not bubbling after first day and even then not much, so glad to see it's come down 4/8/2018 - to secondary, about 4.75 gal, gravity still at 1.026 Once in secondary and clear I see the gravity as higher at 1.030 and it never really comes down 4/18 or thereabouts add the remaining hops (Nugget) from package and the cacao nibs 4/28 - there's a white almost moldy large bubbles on surface - hopefully not actually moldy - aroma OK 4/28 - bottle 25 22oz bottles and then 1qt squealer (not sterilized so watch out) gravity maybe 1.028 which would put ABV at about 4.5%
