Brew #12: Special K (Hazelnut Coffee Pale Stout)

I read something about this new style of beer and I thought it was interesting.  Some people think it's a silly fad (and maybe it is), but the justification goes like this: If DIPA is a style, why not have a pale stout?  So I decided to brew it.

The name is in honor of the best example of having a white appearance with a black vibe (the character from "Can't Hardly Wait").

I didn't have my refracto on hand, so I didn't get an OG.  Here is what Brewer's Friend told me though:

Aroma hops were a few different ones I had left over, but all fairly similar.  Used 8 oz. of Bigby whole bean Hazelnut coffee @10 min.

8/16: Pitched S-04.

8/18: Krausen has fallen.
8/24: Transferred 2 gal. to secondary so I could free up my bottling bucket (which is also my primary fermenter).
9/4: 7.9 Brix
9/5: 7.8 or 7.9 Brix?
9/6: Bottled with a little less than 1/4 cup of priming sugar to get 2.1 vols. (dumped in bucket).  Somehow I got 20 12oz. Bottles and two 16oz. Bottles and still had a little left in the bucket.
9/15: Chilled one in the freezer and drank it.  Pretty thin and lighter body than I had hoped.  Prob cuz I let the mash temp go WAY down.
