More Stout

• 1 can (3.3 lbs) Muntons Light LME
• 1 can (3.3 lbs) Muntons Amber LME
• 1/2 lbs coffee malt

• 1/2 lbs dextrine malt
• 1/2 lbs crystal 90 malt

The grains were a couple of weeks old for this one, so the flavors may not be as pronounced as in previous batches.

Brought ~2 gallons of water to 160F. Added grains and allowed to soak for 45 minutes. Added some water to bring level up to ~2.5 gallons and brought to ~180F. Removed from heat and added malt extract. Returned to heat and brought to ~190F. Started the timer and added the Golding hops. Added Spalt hops at 15 minutes remaining. Cooled in a sink of cold water to 101F. Topped to 5 gallons with cold water. Pitched at 80F.

Racked. Very tasty. It's going to be very good when it's done. Smooth, rich, wonderful flavor. -Morrigu 19:15, 20 September 2011 (EST)

Bottled. Nice and rich. Slightly sour finish, but overall exactly what I was going for. -Morrigu 21:55, 6 October 2011 (EST)

Opened the half-bottle I had. Nicely carbonated, nice flavor. I think it's pretty good. Definitely a good one for the parties. -Morrigu 21:09, 19 October 2011 (EST)
