Had the Allagash Burbon Black, Jailhouse Breakout Stout with Oreos, and Bitches Brew. All were fantastic, but I had a bit of a "milk was a bad choice" situation because it was insanely hot yesterday.
I was a big fan of Lagunitas Imperial Stout but either they've stopped brewing it or my locals have just all simultaneously stopped carrying it on their own accord.
I'm too lazy to google it.
I recently tried Sam Adam's Cinder Boch and ended up pouring 90% of the bottle down the drain. That stuff was foul.
Fermentation temperature control, aeration of the wort prior to pitching, better cooling of the wort with an immersion chiller, bringing liquid yeast up to temp, warm your extract before pouring.
I don't think I made any major mistakes this last batch. Pretty excited actually.
Second beer has just been bottled and I have Black IPA kit on the way. This is a bit more involved because it will require the making of a starter of US-05 and secondary fermentation/dry hopping.
It's probably going to be a month or so before I make another beer. In the meantime? Mead and/or braggot. And maye this Ethiopian honey/bread beer from a manuscript written in 1550. We'll see.

It was alright, but I prefer their halcyon wheat.
Prepping for my next brew day and trying to figure out how to control my fermentation temps better. Probably gonna go swamp cooler method.

Also, NOVA has a metric shit ton of churches.
