	Racked to secondary. Wow! This is the most drinkable beer on racking that I've made so far. Dead on with the flavor. ~~Coffe~~, not bitter, ale. Not as dark as I'd hoped, but even looks like coffee. -[[User:Morrigu\|Morrigu]] 10:49, 14 February 2010 (EST)		Racked to secondary. Wow!

			Smooth, sweet, not at all bitter, with a coffee undertone. Pretty much spot on for what I was going for. Not as carbonated as I'd hoped, but still very drinkable. A little heavy for when the weather turns warmer, but that's why I also have the redhead. This'll be a good one to repeat in the fall, possibly with the addition of something for more carbonation, head formation, and head retention. -[[User:Morrigu\|Morrigu]] 17:00, 21 March 2010 (EST)

Returned to heat, brought to 190F, added spalt hops pellets, and started the 1 hour timer. At 30 minutes, added the irish moss. At 15 minutes remaining, added the golding hops pellets.

New page

For my next "new" beer, I think I want to keep exploring styles. I think I'm going to go for a dark ale, along the lines of an english stout or porter. Something dark, creamy, and less bitter, and hopefully not as smoky as some dark beers I've had. Here's the basic idea:

* 6.6 lbs. (2 cans) dark lme
* White Labs WLP002 yeast
* 1 oz. low AA hops
* 1 oz. moderate AA hops
* 1-2 lbs. specialty malts
