Brew Summary
2005-08-28 11:26pm
Brewed this morning. Had a mishap or two...accidentally got my chiller dirty, and while I was cleaning it (and swearing at it) the brewkettle boiled over. I lost a bit of wort, but managed to stop it very quickly. Mash temp was 158F for one hour. Boiled for 75 minutes. Primary will be at 66F - it was pitched with a leftover slurry of WLP002, and was fermenting away within six hours. Update to follow.
Great Recipe

I brewed this recipe with a few modifications for my brewhouse efficiency and it turned out great. Used a madigascar vanilla bean during the secondary. I think the bean may have been "scrubbed" by the fermentation, I would recommend scoring the bean and putting it in half way through secondary. Vanilla was very subtle, but went great with oatmeal stout.
