Brewday Updates

Brewing the stout turned out very well. Fly sparged for the first time in a while.
My Notepad Notes ® © ™:
mash in at 151F
4 gals strike water @ 170F
fly sparged.
< 1 gal = 1.088 @ 140F = 1.104
2 gal = 1.080 @ 125F = 1.092
4 gal = 1.062 @ 125F = 1.074
5 gal = 1.050 @ 130F = 1.063
6 gal = 1.046 @ 130F = 1.059!
Ended up with just under 5 gals. I'm ok with that, since I'll only be primarying, and then keg, after prolly 2 weeks.
BTW, I hate boiling in the dark. Took me about 6 hours today from start to finish. And got a very late start.

The Malta is down to 1.022, so that's good. Wonder if it'll taste better later. Was kinda thin, but who knows....

Oh ya. Samsquamtch. That's how Bubbles pronounces it. If you don't get that reference yet, you will.
Anyways, spent some dough at the Party Source.
