All went well, except...

...I dropped my hydrometer after getting through the boil, and it broke in two, grrrr...No OG for this batch. However, its been in the primary for a couple of days now and is chugging along nicely, so here's hoping it came out OK.
That is a tough way to lose a hydrometer!

But that is a fine looking recipe and the brewing notes are great. Looking forward to hearing about the results.
Flavorful

I racked this to secondary yesterday, 01/23, and tasted a small sample, hints of coffee, chocolate, and roasted grains, mmmmmm...no OG, but my gravity (bought a couple of hydrometers over the weekend) was @ 1.022, within the style range, so I might get another couple of points during the secondary. I'll bottle next week!
Oh my....

....couldn't wait to try one of these, so I chilled one after a week in the bottle. BTW, I added another 1/2 lb of lactose at bottling, hoping to impart a little extra sweetness. Poured almost black, a thin reddish-tan head (not completely carbonated) that lingered on the sides of the glass. Smelled great, and the first taste was almost coffee-like, with roast and chocolate in the background. Smooth bitterness, but not overly sweet, this is definitely a dessert beer, very interested to see the reaction at the homebrew club meeting this week!
Curious about your fermentation temp
2011-02-06 12:45pm
I used the Wyeast 1084 for O'Shannon's Irish Ale, which is currently fermenting in the lower temp range. What range are you fermenting at?

I have a dedicated closet in the house that stays between 66-68, concrete floor to boot, so that's my range, it works out well for most of my ale's.
