Tight Skirt Stout redux

Patrick brought a couple of
beers we don't get in the KC market

On Saturday, June the 11^th I brewed Tight Skirt Stout. Our friend Patrick, who we know from “The Saucer”, came out. He was the brewer’s assistant for a day.  This is the second time I have brewed this stout. The first time this beer was brewed it was a 2.5 gallon boil with make up water added to total 5 gallons. The beer was good enough that I felt encouraged to keep brewing. That first stout is the reason I started using a blow off tube on the primary fermentation tank. It was quite a mess when the fermentation overwhelmed the airlock on top of the pail. I tweaked the recipe a little from the initial recipe. But much like the first time the fermentation was quite vigorous, with foam traveling through the blow off tube. I am not sure if it is just coincidence or something about this recipe causing such a strong fermentation. The OG is not extremely high at 1.067. If it turns out to be any good I may enter it into a home brew contest. Win or lose, a contest is a good way to get an objective opinion, in a blind taste test, from people who know and like beer. I have a few weeks to decide.
