Keep the yeast warm

Fermentation stopped after one day. Primary got too cold for the yeast. Wrapped in brew belt, towel and a good shake and the fermentation started again. Keep it warm!!!

Tasted on Sunday!!!

Tasted on Sunday after one week fermentation. Tastes fantastic although its not the strongest beer. More of a session stout than a foreign extra stout. I guess I'll need a bottle of Jameson to go with it. Will need to work on my partial process.

two weeks in primary

Two weeks in primary and really mellowed out. 5.5 ABV not very close to where I wanted it but it is still very good. Moving to secondary for a couple of weeks and then to the keg for St pats day. Cheers.

Turned out great!!!

This turned out great! Nice chocolate finish, a black head and a bit of a bite from the 2-row Caramel and black malt. Will brewing this again but will probably mix it up a bit with the yeast and proportions of chocolate malt and roasted barley.
