Notes:
- Got ingredients at Siciliano’s.
- Switched to Dark LME and no DME.
- Changed from Sumatra to Espresso Italiano coffee.
- I thought the brew store ground the coffee beans but they did not so I put them in a plastic bag and just smashed them all.
- Filled pot to middle of rivets.
- Steeped for 30 minutes instead of 40.
- Added chocolate in a metal strainer until it melted, but some still got on the bottom of the pot and burned a little.
- I did not observe any bubbles through the airlock. I suspect my blue bucket lid is leaking some air through the sides. It did appear to ferment though. On 2022-02-12 I measured FG and transferred to secondary.
- Primary: 13
