Kegged my Blood of Satan RIS. Gravity was at .027 after nearly 40 days in primary. Lots of unfermentables, I guess. This one is gonna need a looooong time to condition.

The chocolate nubs sounded like a good idea. Maybe some nubs and a vanilla bean?

I just bottled mine this morning. Man does this stuff taste GOOOOD! It has a serious bite to it, almost makes my mouth tingle. I can't believe the difference it has from a couple of weeks ago. It was terrible then. Man do I hope I can let this stuff last until August! Good thing we're shipping early for the swap so I don't drink it all!!

Bottled mine last night. Its even darker than my previous RIS but the alcohol bite is more mellow. This is probably going to be even better. I will save some for 08-08-08 but you can be sure that several samples will disappear before then.

I bottled mine tonight...

OG: 1.088 --> FG: 1.028

67% attenuation, 8% ABV

tastes DAMN good. i love how dark it is but still has a nice brown to it. "blacker than the blackest brown"

i yielded 12 - 22 ouncers and 21 - 12 ouncers. that's about a 4 gallon yield...smaller than i'm used to, but i usually do 5.5 gallons.

fantastic brew...i sealed up the boxes and am going to store them away someplace nice...maybe play some light metal every now and again for the yeasties

i don't plan to open until just before swap time, and if i keep brewing like i have been, i won't need to!

I opened one the other day, it was carbed well but maybe not fully carbed. It was really thick, huge body. I definitely needs time, but I think its going to turn out great.

Every night I pull into the garage (where I've hidden the keg) I'm tempted to bring a picnic tap out and draw off a sample.

Garage has been at 45 degrees for about 4 straight weeks.

That baby is going to sit there until about 2 weeks before shipping, then I'll force carb and bottle.
