Tropical stout hooked up, ready for fermentation next to strong ale. Can’t wait to share w/ Dad.
Any brew day that ends with a feast of Ethiopian takeout is a success full stop.

By the boil, I had righted the early problems. Color and hot break looked good to me.
That was a challenging brew day. Stuck mash, wonky pH meter. Managed to overcome, beer tasted great going into fermenter.

Always start brew day with the finest ingredients. @marylandmalt
Making a tropical stout today inspired by fond memories traveling the Caribbean with my dad when I was younger.
Nothing like finishing brew day by stepping on a giant javelin of glass. OK, 2-3mm but still, ouch.
