Batch #195 - Wheat Stout

Aiming for a rich stout, but not quite at Imperial level, I used the full 29# of grain my system could hold, and held back on the amount of water used.  Instead of the usual 9.5-gallons I harvest at final bottling and kegging stage, this batch yielded 8.0-gallons of stout.  I used 2-Row and Chocolate Wheat malts, US Fuggle and UK Challenger pellet hops, as well as Northern Brewer leaf hops, 8 gallons of Basalt sparge water, and landed at 7.5% a.b.v.

Brewed in mid June and bottled in mid July, I think I'm going to take a break from the heavy beers, and get in a light batch of session ale, before summer is gone again.

Cheers!
