Batch 29/30: RIS and Coffee (Chocolate? Vanilla?) Porter

Batch 24: Pixelated Pumpkin Ale

Batch 2: Nut Brown Ale

Short story, I was able to get the wort down to ~120 after stirring and a few minutes in an ice bath in the sink. I then aerated it by pouring back and forth 5 times between the brew kettle and a sterilized bucket (used for bottling the previous day, soaked overnight in StarSan solution). […]
