im going to struggle to hit my gravity on this brew, i don't think the flaked barley had the decency to give up its sugars, might have to increase the boil length to two hours to get into the right sort of ballpark.

All done and dusted 1042 (about 4.5 gallons US), seemed to lose a lot to the target hops (seemed to be bits of the flower rather than whole flowers) which did their damndest to block the hopper.

It has been awhile since I did a stout or porter - I should try and fit one in later this winter.

had a sneaky taster out of the hydrometer, tastes great already, its really quite like guiness ie an easy drinking stout without any great deal of complexity.
