Clone Of Chocolate Maple Porter Brew Session

Brew Session Info

Brew Date 1/18/2016

Notes (Include any important notes from brew day until tasting)

Tasted smooth. More yield than I expected (more than 3 gallons) even though we hit OG - happy to use this one for Oak Barrel World Cup, as it tastes like a good robust porter. Fermentation started < 24 hours, vigorous when Fermentor is agitated/aerated.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 5.70 gallonsliters at 1.047 for 60 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 1.00 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.055.

You wanted an OG of 1.057. It looks like it will be under.

Tasted on 2/16/2016 by LeeCase99

Notes:

DARK! Incredibly smooth, still has time to further carbonate - this is fairly early at 2 weeks, bourbon flavor is subtle. Wonderful mouthfeel, I anticipate a slightly bigger head next time BUT it hits the style -not supposed to be a frothy beer. Best one I have made yet!!

Comments

Will likely add 28 oz. cold brewed coffee + 1-2 T. homemade vanilla during bottling!
