This was originally intended to be a 3 stage multi stage mash but as it was my first multi, I forgot to stir! Ended up having to remove and cool part of the mash and add cold water to get back to mash temp. However, after that a dry hopping which I intended to be 4 days I changed to 7 to allow more drop time and this definitely worked. Very porter taste and good hoppy finish with great mouth feel. Overall, very pleased.
Really pleased! Great mouth feel with nice bitter finish rounded nicely with the hoppy notes. Almost a bitter chocolate aftertaste, great head retention.
