Batch #22.
It is only fitting that I brewed Death By Triple Chocolate on May 4th.
This is the original recipe # 3, take 2. The only thing I changed was the mash temperature and the vessel mashed in. And I did have a boil over while I was watching confidence interval testing videos on youtube. So my uniformity was doomed from the start. The boil over caused a lot of the hops to end up on the stove top again. Their rightful place is supposed to be in the primary fermenter. It is good to have a glass of water standing by while boiling on wifeys stove. I avoided major catastrophe by quenching the boil over by pouring in the water. This way only a quarter of the foamy cap escaped this time. Last time I lost about three quarters.
12 lb two row
3 lb choc wheat
1 oz galena
2 oz amarillo
safale #5 yeast
Look at the chocolatey goodness.
The foam cap glistens.
Now, I only have to wait. Probably 1 week in the primary, 1 week in the secondary, and 2 to 4 weeks in bottles.
