Wasn't expecting to brew today but our dinner plans have just been cancelled so I'm going to take the opportunity to help replenish my rapidly depleting stocks!
Recipe pretty much taken straight out of Greg Hughes' book so I won't post it here. I've swapped the hops, using galena for bittering (it was very cheap!) instead of chinook and using mostly cascade along with 19g of mosaic for the later additions as I don't have enough cascade. I'm not a huge fan of masses of cascade (begs the question why I used it in my 60 minute IPA!) but I'm looking forward to see how it works in a stout, I've got a hunch it'll work well. I'm also using chocolate malt in place of black malt as I don't have black. Looking at all those changes it isn't that similar to the recipe in the book! :lol:
The weather is rubbish so at least I'm not going to melt when I brew in the conservatory.
