Breakfast Stout

I will post pictures soon, but yesterday the kpsl(nr) brewing team put together a Founder's Breakfast Stout clone. We may have made a mistake in using too much grain AND extract. No matter the outcome, I loved every minute of it. Different aromas, cold press coffee, chocolate, different grains.

It was a sticky mess but something I would very much like to do again. We will let it sit for 4-5 days in primary fermentation. After that we will check the gravity and move it to secondary fermentation where we will add more coffee. We are using two Metropolis roasts, so we will have a nice local product of which to boast.

After a few weeks in the secondary, we will check the gravity again. If our liquid still had too much sugar, we made need to make some tough decisions on the fly.

All issues aside, making beer is nothing short of great fun. And to make beer with good people is even better.
