Short Fermentation Update
I finally got around to (with the help of DW) racking the Mocha Stout and the Mead into the secondaries. The Mocah Stout SG came in at 1.039. OG was 1.076. Last batch of the Mocha Stout was OG=1.055/FG=1.014. This is a higher gravity stout than the last one, some of which can be accounted for in the addition of the lactose, but not all of it. It was a different brand of LME. The color is still beautiful and dark. Did not taste, but will at bottling. Of course it still has molasses and espresso to come in.
The mead weighed in at 1.002. It’s probably done fermenting, but I’m going to give it a few months in the secondary anyway. I don’t want another batch of sparkling mead if I can help it.
I’ll probably bottle the stout during Thanksgiving weekend and schedule the next brew night for mid december to try it out.
