- Styled after a Southern English Brown, malty and sweet, with extracts to add in secondary to try for a root-beery flavor. Mashing medium-high (154F). Used a voile curtain for this mash instead of the bag from the homebrew store. It has a much finer mesh, and much less trub was produced (though still significant amounts present).

  The [[http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=1491|extract]] calls for ~15mL/0.5oz (3tsp) per gallon (60mL/2oz, "makes 4 gallons") when making root beer. Starting with 2 1-gallon jugs, adding 3.75mL (0.75 tsp) to one and 7.5mL (1.5 tsp) to the other. Bottling the rest with Cooper's or Munton's drops, and will add by the dropper to test. 
  
+ Tasty samples coming out of the fermenter--nice and sweet. Terminal gravity appears to be 1.015 @ 72F. Racked into the secondaries after treating them with a solution of acidified bleach (1/3c bleach into 0.75 gals water, then 1/3c white vinegar) for two days and then rinsing thoroughly and sanitizing with iodophor. Also racked some into sanitized 16oz swingtops, and added 2 Cooper's drops to each to carbonate.

- My first attempt at an OG >1.1 beer, a Russian Imperial Stout. Raleigh water requires some mineral modification to bolster efficiency. Will double up the voile fabric for this mash. Racking onto hard root beer yeast cake (Windsor); considering pitching US-05 in secondary for better attenuation.
+ My first attempt at an OG >1.1 beer, a Russian Imperial Stout. Raleigh water requires some mineral modification to bolster efficiency. Doubling up the voile fabric had good effect in reducing the amount of trub. OG 1.090, partly because I couldn't sparge the grains--no vessel big enough to hold them! Malt ''everywhere.'' Pitched US-05 after washing out the fermenter--too much trub in the bottom. Hopefully my trub problems are now solved. Vigorous fermentation! Blowoff installed, mess contained.
