Brewing Notes, Sweet Stout (Sun 17feb2008)

Brewed a sweet/milk stout yesterday:

see previous posts for recipe.

Started with ~ 3.5 gallon boil, ended around 2.5 gallons. I boiled this brew a little hotter (9 for 30 minutes, then 8 for 30 minutes to try and increase hop utilization). I think I am going to start trying the extract late method to increase hop utilization.

Pitched one fully inflated smack pack of Wyeast 1028 London Ale yeast into 68F wort.

Initial gravity was measured at ~ 1.050
