Happy Pig Stout

I borrowed the ingredients list from Andrew's Stout in the recipe
base, and adjusted everything to be in the middle of the style.
Attempting to brew to style - what a concept!

Beer: Happy Pig Stout Style: Irish Dry Stout
Type: All grain Size: 5.5 gallons
Color:
117 HCU (~39 SRM)
Bitterness: 35 IBU
OG: 1.050 FG: 1.014
Alcohol: 4.6% v/v (3.6% w/w)
Water: Bottled filtered spring water - and a touch of gypsum
Grain: 7 lb. American 2-row
12 oz. Belgian chocolate
8 oz. Roasted barley
1 lb. Flaked barley
8 oz. Flaked oats
Mash: 80% efficiency
Mash in with 12 quarts @165°F (1T gypsum). Adjust to 152°F, hold
for 30 minutes. Adjust to 158°F, hold until conversion is complete.
Mash out to 165°F, transfer to lauter tun. Sparge with 5 gallons
to collect 6.5 gallons in the kettle. The sparge was a
little sticky because of the oats and flaked barley.
Boil: 60 minutes SG 1.037 7.5 gallons
I added a gallon of water over the course of the boil to offset
evaporation. My first batch with a new 170K BTU burner. Learned to
watch more carefully for boilovers.
Hops: 2 oz. Kent Goldings (5% AA, 60 min.)
Yeast: SSC English Ale yeast in a one-pint starter
Log: Brewed Feb 21, 1999.
Fermentation at 58°F-62°F.
Bottled March 6, 1999.
Carbonation: 1/3 C priming dextrose, roughly 2 3/4 oz. Perhaps a little much?
This calculates out to about 2.1 volumes
