Dry Irish Stout
Specifics
General Information
Method: All Grain

6/6/09 - Pretty normal brewday except I ground the roasted barely in a coffee grinder (which contributed to some trouble lautering), and I also forgot to take a temp measurement before pitching the yeast.  My OG was higher than expected (1.050 should have been 1.042).

6/17/09 - Transferred to secondary and I found out why my OG was so high, the volume was about .5 gal low, I considered adding some water at this point but I have some concerns about oxidation in the tap water.  Once the secondary aging is complete I'll take another gravity reading to see if I need any additonal volume, at which time I will boil some water to drive out the oxygen.
