Recipe Notes:
Add 1.5 Gallons of filtered tap water to 20qt pot and heat to 165*F turn off heat and add grains and steep for 30min.
Remove grains, add LME, Malto-dextrin, Lactose and bring to rolling boil.
Add hops for 15min boil, then add Irish moss boil for 5 min longer and add coco boil for 10 min.
Remove from heat, now place in ICE bath until temp reaches about 70* F.
Pour cooled WORT into fermentor, add water to the Bottom "Quart" on LBK and stir well.
Take OG sample, aerate well and pitch yeast.
Batch Notes:
*** The coffee and the raspberry are added at batch botle priming time ***
Again I ended up under temp at pitch time, I guess better than high.
OG = 1.071 @ 62*F
FG = 1.034 @ 64*F

October 2, 2011
Batch primed with 55g Booster for about 2.2 C02
Added 2 Tablespoons pure vanilla and 2.75 Tablespoons Raspberry Extract to finish the flavor profile.
The stout already had a roasted cooffee flavor from the barley so skipped the Espresso since I was affraid it would make it too bitter.
I got 23 (12oz) bottles and 1 (16oz Swing-top) plus about 3 oz to taste

First Pour
The stout was way sweeter than I expected, when bottling I skipped the coffee since was pretty bitter, now I wish I added it.
The Raspberry tasted like Mix-berry and the coco was very light.
