BrewBlog: Gout Stout (2014)
Specifics
General Information
Method: All Grain

The base malt was split into 11 lbs Fawcett Pearl and 4 lbs Rahr 2-row.  Yeast from the Pale Ale, batch 113.  Allow the wort to cool sufficiently before pitching.

12-21-14: The Pale Ale was transferred to secondary.  The empty carboy was inverted and the yeast allowed to drain.  Whatever yeast stuck to the sides was left in the primary when the wort was added (9p).  Indicated wort temperature was 68F, room at 65F.

12-22-14: Blowout at 5a (8 hours after pitching).  Broken airlock.  The foam coming out of the carboy is reading 21B, so there's that.

12-30-14: Transferred to secondary with a reading of 13B

2-6-15: Bottled with 4oz sucrose.  Total yield 19x22oz, 6x12oz.

6-7-15: One bottle exploded.  It looks like a faulty bottle and the breakage occurred at the cap.  No evidence of contamination.  Smells very good.
