I rarely do secondaries, especially for darker beers. And in fact, I'm usually leaving them in primary for 3-4 weeks now to let the yeast clean up after themselves. Good luck if you try this recipe. Let us know how it turns out.

Great to hear. I need to brew it again myself. I hope it turns out as well for you as it has for me.

One question, did you end up with a rediculously high OG? I ended up with something like 1.0750 temperature corrected. Maybe I should have checked OG before adding the cocoa? I know my hydrometer is fairly accurate b/c it reads right at 1.000 for distilled water temperature corrected. Also, this one took off FAST, in just about 2 hours I had airlock activity and it continues to bubble away nicely today. |

Anything that increases the specific gravity, i.e. density of the liquid should increase the reading. Salt would do it for example (you use a hydrometer to measure salt in solution for a saltwater fish tank). I just assumed dissolving/boiling something else in there would do it also. I'll be interested to hear your notes though, and I'll try to remember to post up what my FG when this get's done fermenting. |

So it looks like my OG was 1.060. Since most of the sugars are coming from the LME, the most likely thing that would skew the OG is what volume you ended up at. I was up around 5.75-6 gallons. If you had a lower volume and ended up at 1.075, all the better. ![]()
