  Well I finally tapped my keg of chocolate milk stout. It was not ruined. Flavors a bit muted

• Posted in thread: Counterflow Wort Chiller Build (and use) on 10-08-2012 at 01:09 PM
  You spent the money to buy the material for the chiller now spend a little more and buy a march
  pump. Huge improvement for me. In 5 mins I have five gallons of cooled wort. I also use a sump
  pump to p...

  morebeer b...

  I just racked a milk chocolate stout from my boil kettle onto about a gallon of diluted star
  san. Not happy about this but we will see how it turns out. Will let you know in about 8 weeks.

• Posted in thread: Oops! Racked on top of Starsan. How bad will it be?? on 07-18-2012 at 05:59 PM
  Okay so I just did this very same thing, except I had about a gallon of star san/water mix in
  my carboy. I can't even blame it on drinking as I was brewing in the morning to escape the
  heat. I would l...

  and I wasn't even drinking, just not thinking. This was a chocolate milk stout and I lost track
  of what I was doing and before I knew it I had already run about 2.5 gallons of my stout
  through my cool...

  I just used this yeast in a recipe I made up and fermented at 67. Very light esters. I think
