Terminator Stout

Supposedly an award winning recipe. Got it from a homebrew shop, so I thought I would try it.

Brewer: Bret Spencer Email: -
Beer: Terminator Stout Style: Irish Dry Stout
Type: Extract w/grain Size: 5 gallons
Color:
186 HCU
Bitterness: 26 IBU
OG: 1.057 FG: 1.011
Alcohol: 5.9% v/v (4.6% w/w)
Water: I added 1 tsp. of Gypsum to bottled water in the boil.
Grain: 4 oz. Wheat malt
8 oz. American crystal 120L
4 oz. American chocolate
4 oz. American black patent
12 oz. Roasted barley
Steep: I put the grains in a nylon grain bag. Added the bag to the cold bottled water. Brought the water up to 150° slowly, then let the grains steep for about 30 minutes at that temp, then removed the grains.
Boil: 60 minutes SG 1.142 2 gallons
7 lb. Dark malt extract
As a habit I added a tsp of Irish Moss to the end of the boil. But, afterwards I thought it was silly. This has the look of used motor oil, why bother using a clarifying agent?
Hops: 2 oz. Bullion (8.5% AA, 60 min.)
Yeast: Used pitchable White Labs Irish Stout Yeast
Log: Primary Fermentation 5 days at 75°. Secondary for 14 days at 75°.
Carbonation: Carbonated with honey, about 4 oz.
Tasting: I don't like Stouts. I made this for my girlfriend who loves them. I'll let you know what she thinks after it is done.
