Mittelschmerz was lonely

Mittelschmerz was lonely, so yesterday I brewed a companion, Sherwood Forest. "Woody" for short is an export/strong stout, and has French oak cubes soaking in bourbon for the upcoming secondary.

The fermentation, on the Mittselschmerz yeast cake (with Fermentis Safale S-04), has bordered on explosive.

Not a lot of pictures taken, but here are a couple of the lautering:

Basic lautering, pre-batch sparge.


Kinda looks like motor oil, eh?
