Mine came in around 2.5% abv. and didn't taste like an ashtray as they always say about black malt. It is fantastic. The high FG of 1.022 really helped the body and keeps it interesting. I would brew it again. I would probably use a bit less black malt, though. I also wouldn't dilute to reach the OG. I diluted a bit too much, I think. I would let it come out how it wants. I think I wound up with OG 1.044 which would have been fine. This was my first Ron Pattinson recipe brew. I plan on many more. Cheers, Ron! Thanks for this great wealth of information and a look back and taste of what life might have been like.

This particular brew was called both. The records span two pages: on the left page it's called P and on the right page BS.<br /><br />Yes, BS would have stood for Brown Stout. Though what the beer was sold as is anyone's guess.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-18875918160767244192019-09-09T08:17:58.299-07:002019-09-09T08:17:58.299-07:00Ron does the "BS" indicate that this was...Ron does the "BS" indicate that this was sold as brown stout?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
