I had a pint of it yesturday, poured to a beautiful head and the mouthfeel is much thicker now. I'm going to pop one open again tomarrow and do a much more in depth analysis. Will report back then.

Ok, it’s ready. It’s almost absolutely perfect! The body is a little thinner than Stone’s but the taste is almost identical, burnt chocolate chip cookie taste and all! Medium head that lingers and lingers and eventually dies down to a white ring around the glass. This was one of the things I was worried about being affected by the use of real chocolate powder.

guitargod,

thanks for posting this recipe up, looked a long time for the extract version of this recipe and I think you hit it spot on. I was amazed by the amount of grains and crystal for steeping...pot was almost to the brim with only 2.5 gallons of water!!!

The samples I was tasting from the spoon on the occasional stirring was unreal (don't judge). I do not have a sweet tooth at all and I can already tell this will be a staple in the Schickengiggle household!

Have you done the AG version of this as well? would you recommend the AG for my first batch when I decide to do that in about a month?

thanks again

Hey dude! Very cool of you to brew this! As for the AG version, nope, I never did one. I would recomend you doing something simple for the first batch. Then tackle this when you get all the bugs worked out of the system.

okay mine has been almost 3 weeks in the primary, still have a gravity reading of 1.030...any ideas?

imaguitargod · 04-01-2010, 10:16 PM

Don't know what to tell you, sounds stuck maybe.....

Monty420th · 04-02-2010, 08:04 PM

I racked it into a secondary last night...2.5 inches is sediment in a bucket fermenter, holy lord

racked it with .1028 gravity, hopefully next Saturday it will be ready to keg. of course I had to put a little on it in a glass during transfer and after tasting it, I think guitargod said it best

It is incredible! It is incredible!
