Alright, so dad and I brewed again on Tuesday, I'll try and post our updates sooner in the future.

Here is the original recipe that we based it off of:
Elbro Nerkte

Here are the deviations we made to the recipe:

1. We used approximately 8lbs of dark malt extract
2. We added 1/4lb of Caramunich
3. We added 0.5oz Cascade hops
4. We used a Whirlfloc tablet instead of Irish moss

Here is a picture of everything we used for the batch:

And we (I) did take some pretty good notes on the process, so here is a step by step of what we did:

1. Started the burner, we added 2 gallons to our 5 gallon pot
2. After ~10 minutes we added the steeping bag with the crystal malt, black patent malt, and caramunich
3. We steeped the bag for 30 minutes at 154 F
4. Brought the water up to a boil and added 3.3 lbs of the dark malt extract and 1.5oz of Fuggles
5. After ~15 minutes we added another 3.3 lbs of the dark malt extract
6. After ~15 minutes we added the final dark malt extract (a little less than half the can to bring the total up to about 8lbs) and 0.5oz Fuggles
7. After ~10 minutes we added the Whirlfloc tablet and 0.5oz of Cascade
8. Removed water from the boil pot and placed into our cooling setup with enough water added to bring volume up to 5 gallons (we have two immersion chillers, one set up in an ice bath to cool the water and the other in the primary fermenter to chill the wort)
9. Cooled down to somewhere between 76 F and 78 F

Before we added the yeast, we took the initial gravity reading and it was 1.06 almost on the dot. With the added extract and malt, we think the final gravity should be between 1.01 and 1.00 with a final A.B.V. of between 7 and 8%. We'll rack it to the secondary carboy after a week where it'll spend another week before kegging. I'll add another post with the final gravity reading and pre-kegging tasting notes (we're hoping for a little more chocolate taste than the last time).

We'll also be kegging the I.P.A. tomorrow, so I'll post a picture of the final color and some pre-kegging tasting notes. Sunday we should be making something new after we finalize the recipe so we'll have another update then.

Get to brewing!
