I had about 5 pounds of dark liquid extract, then I added a pound of light DME. I steeped around 2oz of Carafa 2 dehusked, and I had very small bag on C-120 i put in also, dont think it will do anything since it needs mashed, correct?
For hops I added about .40 oz Kent Goldings at 60 minuts and split up and ounce of Citra hops into a few different additions, think the IBU calculator told me it would be have around 37 IBU. Also added some melted chocolate, according to Chip Walton's chocolate stout. I figure it was either give me a tasty choco citrus flavor or taste like the bottom of my trash can. I figured what the hell im going to have to throw out this extract soon or use it, so who knows.
Edit: So took a gravity reading after 2 weeks of fermentation its down to 1.012. Filled my glass with what was in the thief and it is a good tasting brown ale... I guess haha. light choco aftertaste and a citrus aroma throughout. Probably the best extract brew I have done. very good stuff. Think I'll bottle her up tomorrow as long as I dont see any gravity changes.
