So I wanted to brew this the Friday after we brewed with Petrichor but got delayed until this Saturday 12/19/20. Turned out to be great day to brew as the weather cooperated. I brewed to the BJCP American Stout standard. I’m looking forward to drinking this in the Winter months ahead. As the Starks say “Winter is coming”.

Stats:
Pre boil gravity 1.053 with refractometer
OG 1.065 Hydrometer, 1.060 refractometer
Notes:
Brew day went well great weather and no drinking before the boil. Mash tun temp was low I had warmed the mash tun but probably drained it too soon and it cooled off. Ran off 15 gal in 33 minutes. Boiled of 3 gallons in 60 minute boil as I had a strong boil going. Ended up with 12 gallons in fermenter which went to 12.75 approximately after yeast starter. I used Omega Irish ale which I have never used before. Strong bubble this morning. Smells peaty in the basement.
