Took apart my grain mill, cleaned and greased the bearings. Rollers are still slipping unfortunately.

That is badass @jamie_savoie ! That's all the motivation I need to keep brewing sours, especially now that I'm bottling my first flanders. What are you using as a base for the dark sour? I was going to re brew a flanders again but that sounds interesting!

Brewing a coffee stout. Adding espresso beans to the mash as well as some cold steeped espresso at kegging.

if you want to add a coffee aroma I suggest "dry beaning".  From my experience, cold steeping at kegging is the way to go ;)
