Brewed with Izzy on a fine early spring afternoon. I, unfortunately, felt like dog crap, but Iz did a great job pulling up the slack.
Added lactose at 15 minutes until the end of the boil. Cooled to 68°, racked to primary, and pitched 5 oz. yeast from a slurry (April 5, 2008).
Spilt this batch into two at secondary. Racked one as is. To the other, 6 cups of strong Sumatra coffee was added. Obviously not attenuated fully yet, so it was moved to a warmer room (April 12, 2008).
