General Information
Method: All Grain

Building up a yeast cake for the Gout Stout.

Trying out the new mill configuration.  The rollers have been backed off to the original settings (0.035"?).  I'd estimate the mill is running at 4 lbs/minute.

The crystal in this recipe is 1 pound of Lakeland ESB mix from NB.  Listed at a 3:2 mix of L60 and L20.

The Perle in this recipe is from the 2010 Redwing harvest.

==================

12/13/14 - The tun drains much faster now with the new mill settings. First runnings at 13.6B (160 total points).  Measured 10.2B at the start of the boil (253 total points).  Predicted gravity from the start of the boil is 1.051.

12/14/14 - Good start to the ferment at 16 hours.  Indicated temperature of 66F, room at 64F.

12/16/14 - Krausen falling and the yeast are settling.  Fermentation may be complete.
