i don't have running water so i have to be a bit different when i chill the wort. my well is half mile round trip to get to on my land so sometimes i just chiil it outside. i also do a decent amount of open fermentation.

I was excited to brew this beer, but it is my first kit from morebeer. When the kit arrived, it was complete, but it looked like some of the pale 2 row malt had not been milled, even thought that was what I ordered. I brewed anyway. I should have gone to my "local" brew supply (45 min. from home) and had them mill it. The OG came out 23 points low, and the fermentation stalled early. I added some more yeast and raised the temp in the fermenter, but alas there was no more fermentation. So, instead of a KBS clone, I will have a session stout. It's all beer, but I am disappointed. Probably will continue to drive the hour and a half round trip for reliable ingredients in the future. BTW, it does taste good.

Outstanding beer. I added extra coffee and a pound of lactose. Very yummy. I am going to keep this continually on tap.

Delicious coffee and chocolate flavors and great abv strength without that boozy sensation. I will get it again.

I brewed this in November 2019 with several modifications. I added 1 pound of dextrose for a bit more alcohol. I reduced both coffees by 30% and added cocoa powder in the secondary fermenter to increase chocolate. I slightly reduced the hops (used 0.8 oz Nugget then recommended Willamette)considering the bittering added by the cocoa. I also added 6 oz bourbon and 1.5 oz Penzey's vanilla extract right before kegging. Saccharification rest at 154°F so a bit sweet. I used two packs of US-05 and got 73% attenuation (below my target) for 8.1% alcohol. This large grain bill gave me 7.3 gallons mash in my 10 gallon Chapman mash tun, so all was well, but near the practical limit. The result is sublime, a delight to consume. Sweet with heavy coffee and moderate chocolate. I am very fond of Founder Breakfast Stout and I prefer this stout, believe it or not. Highly recommended.

Just went into secondary, but if the gravity sample is any indication, it will be hard to let it age out. Put a lb of D180 in for 20 minute steep with the coffee, should be fun!!

I brewed this 6 weeks ago. I used 1098 British Ale yeast with a big starter, I couldn't find the Kona coffee called for, so I used Costa Rican Tarrazu instead. I tried it a few days ago and I think it is one of my best brews ever. I got many compliments about it at a party the other night. I'm sure I will brew it again. Only issue is that the directions are split up and a bit confusing. Read all of them carefully.

Brewed this and followed recipe. Been in the keg for about 3 weeks and decided to tap it this weekend. Fantastic beer; I had 3 friends over and each said this may be the best yet and I've been brewing for over 15 years. I was encouraged to brew this again immediately in order to have another keg ready to go.

This is very good. I make my own maple syrup so it’s even better.
