Just kegged this and I hit an OG of 1.055 and brewed it on 4/26/08 and kegged and checked FG today (5/21/08) and it was a little high of 1.026. Almost a month in primary.
Tasted great.
Should I have any issues with the FG of 1.026, it should be around 1.015? I know I should have checked graivty before I kegged it, but to late now!!!!
No you will be fine, you kegged it. If bottled and it started back up, then yes. Kegged you can adjust the carb rate.

I bought it like two weeks ago on sale. Brewed up 10 gal of it this past Saturday AG and had an OG of 1.064. Think I'll let it sit for a month then rack it onto real berries not the extract that came with the kit.
how many pounds of berries will you rack onto? im doing a 5 gal bacth and i deffinitly would rather use real berries
I kegged mine yesterday, I tried a small sample today. It's not carbed completely yet. I did notice the raspberry taste was almost like wax or something, does the taste change much as it ages? I think I liked it better without the raspberry.
I used the extract. I used it twice in the past (apricot and blackberry) and swore I wouldn't use it again because it has some kind of chemical taste to it. I read all the great things about the chocolate raspberry stout so I used the extract anyway. I'm kind of wishing I skipped it.
Does this recipe have lactose or milk chocolate in it? I only ask because im lactose intolerant and want to check this out
