My mash temp was constant at 151 degrees farenheit. I think I actually got about 80% efficiency. My target gravity was around 1.060, but I ended up at 1.066. We'll see what the outcome is when I take the final gravity at kegging time!
Transfer to keg.

Transfered 5 gallons into keg and is now chilling at 40 degrees F. Will let it sit about 3 to 5 days total then apply CO2 at 10 psi to carbonate. I let some of it run into a wine glass to check the aroma and taste. The aroma was an abundance of roasty goodness and chocolate and the taste had some nice bitterness up front and a roast coffee and chocolate like finish. Definitely full body. Outside of hops, I love that chocolate malt! I'll be biased and give it 4 stars until it is fully ready to enjoy. Gravity ended up at 1.016.
