I usually don't like flat beer, but for the first time I drank the while hydrometer sample when bottling this last night. I think I'm going to have to go to my LHBS and pick up everything to start another batch.

I'm going to do another batch soon myself.

Glad you love it.

I'm not very patient so I opened a bottle after only 2 weeks after bottling. It was delicious.

OP - have you done any modifications to the recipe since posting? Maybe something to make it a 'fancy chocolate milk stout'?

Going to give this a try, sounds delicious.

I brewed a very similar recipe using cocoa powder instead of the nibs. I mistakingly added my cocoa in with my priming sugar...I forgot to buy the cocoa before brewing. I had some sediment in the bottles, but one little shake of the bottle got it all dispersed evenly. I will not be doing it again that way. Soaking nibs in bourbon sounds awesome. I may try that along with the lactose (mine did not have lactose or milk sugar) and I think that will add some of that fanciness to the beer. Good thread.

just tapped my second keg of this, now i have my nitro set up up and running! it conditioned in the keg for a little over a month, and its uber-delicious.

I cant imagine this keg will even make 2 weeks

Think I'll be OK with white labs 004 Irish ale? My LHBS was out of 1084.

I'm sure you'll be just fine with that.

On a side note, I just had a 1 year old bottle of this, I was very pleased.
