This beer went down real well at the local homebrew club
I just racked this to the Secondary after just over a week and it is still very chocolaty in color, Looks like chocolate milk. Will it stay like this or will the coco eventually fall out of suspension.
The chocolate does settle out quite a bit.
There is always a good amount of sediment in primary as well as secondary I usually let sit in primary for 1 week then 3 weeks secondary and then keg. I am sure I will be as good in bottle.
Hope you enjoy.
