Incredible brew... This recipe is actually responsible for the best batch of beer I've ever brewed... We used liquid extract in place of dry, and London Ale yeast. We didnt have any grainbag so we ended up dumping the whole thing in the brewpot. We didnt have anything to filter with so we boiled it the entire time, and then kept the grain in the primary fermenter... Which is definitly not recommended from what I've read... We lost a pretty good quantity when we tried to syphon that in the secondary fermenter since it was so thick... We won't repeat that error again ;o) But then again, it became so smooth... Really the perfect stout! If the new batch with a grainbag doesnt turn out as good we'll have to devise a way to filter everything efficiently between fermentations...
