I nearly hit the mark on gravity - actual reading was 1095! Pretty good for an all-grain brew! Fermentation took off like a rocket - lucky I installed the blow-off tube immediately... I collected nearly 3 qts of blow-off!! It smells licorice-like.

Added the Secret Ingredient and bottled. Peckers were soaked in Peroxide, then boiled for 2 hours, then soaked in 25-year old vodka for 2 weeks to sterilize. Beer was thick, black and hugely roasty.
