SS mash @ 150. Toast the oats. The pils malt is actually 5 lbs pils, and 3 lbs Golden Promise, ran out of space to put malts in the free version. Light brown sugar is actually palm sugar and muscovado sugar, not available options. Yeast is actually WLP090, San Diego Super yeast, not an available option. Cocoa nibs and peanut butter powder not available options, added in secondary.
