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.
