So #1 son wants to make a chocolate/coffee stout as our second batch. so after three weeks of trying to do it, he has off this saturday so today is the day, except that he has to take his girlfriend to work and should e home by 11:30. Shit hits the fan at her job, so #1 son helps out and realizes that he will be down there all day. In the meantime, i already started the soaking of grain, and i get the call that he can't do it, so i continue the process. During the boil the power goes out and i have to find the propoane Cajun cooker that i purchased 10 years ago and never used, found some propane, and lit it up. flame kept going out between boil overs and wind, finally got it going, a quick 45 minute boil instead of 60 minutes, got it into the house and realized that i didn't rinse the fermentation bucket. no power means no water, well you know, so i decided to go drinking at the Captain until the power comes back on, hopefully.
got the call that the power is on, went home, got it up to 4 gallons and dumped some Captain Lawrence yeast in it.
I think we wil be calling this "Shit Don't Work Stout"
