Named after the accidental destination of around half of the mini-mash.
Ingredients:
Black Rock Miner's Stout Kit
1KG Light Dried Malt Extract
200g Choc Malt, steeped
150g Black Patent Malt, steeped
30g Goldings for 1 hour
20g Fuggles for 30 mins
10g Fuggles for 10 mins
Safale S-04 Yeast
Brewing Notes:
Brewed with the aid of Sham.
This one was marked by debacles. First up, once I had the Malt Extract almost boiling I tried to turn on the sandwich toaster, but instead cranked up the blender, which had some plastic utensils residing therein, and which it promptly went to town on, spewing plastic shards around the kitchen and into my brewing kettle. Sigh. So we started a new boil, and started the mini-mash up as well, but as I mentioned before, I managed to strain half of it straight into the sink. Double sigh.
Fermenting Notes:
Yay for a $50 submersible heater!
Bottling Notes:
Bottled 9/07/09. Doh for one broken submersible heater...
Tasting Notes:
12/05/10 - Probably should have done some tasting notes earlier....but, its a solid stout, nice bitter smooth roasted finish, some subtle hop flavour, especially once it warms up a tad. Stouts with Light Malt Extract and speciality grains are the way to go I reckon. Dark Malt Extract leaves it too cloying and doesn't let the other flavours through. Still have quite a few left so hopefully I'll remember to take down some more tasting notes. Guest Reviever Marco- 'Tastes like Stout.'
