Notes
- If mash pH seems low due to dark grains, consider 5g calcium carbonate or baking soda.
- Mash at 67–68°C for a fuller body.
- Chill and pitch US-05 around 18–20°C.
- Optional: swap US-05 for S-04 for more ester and body in future batches.
Commentary
- Designed as a session-strength stout with strong roasted and cocoa notes.
- Fuggle provides earthy balance without floral interference.
- Great winter ale base — spice additions possible later (cinnamon, star anise, etc).
