Notes

3/24/2020 - Brew Day - Mashed at 148 degrees for 60 minutes. Added Super Moss mixed in with cooled wort at 15 minutes to the end of the boil. Chilled to 62 degrees and pitched two packets of yeast sprinked across top. Used "swamp cooler" with a fan to chill the wort down to 52 degrees when I checked in the morning. Pulled it out of the water as to not be below the yeasts ideal fermentation range.

3/29/2020 - Brought fermenter upstairs for a diacetyl rest and to finish fermenting a little warmer.

4/16/2020 - Kegged - FG=1.010. Sublte roast notes, maybe a little coffee, clean finish. I'll have to lager this one when the next keg blows. Most likely the PB Porter.

4/30/2020 - Added gelatin to keg (.5 cup boiling water w/ 1 tsp gelatin) to a cold and carbonated keg. The keg has been lagering and carbed for a week or so, but it was still a little cloudy, so I wanted to drop out any yeast and haze to brighten up the flavor.

5/20/2020 - Added about 200ml of cold-steeped coffee to the keg since I wanted more coffee flavor instead of just the malt roast character.
