So, long story short, I could add the unseetened cocoa at the end of the boil, and add the cherry in the secondry?

BTW: I have made one batch so far in life, and used a can of Cooper's to do it. If your a noob, than I don't even exist.

I moved to San Antonio about two years ago. I found a LHBS off of 281 and N. St. Mary's. It's not much to look at, but I got some basice stuff from there a couple of weeks ago. I haven't treaded up to Austin to buy supplies yet, but I can see how it would be worth the trip.

This is my very first batch. I boiled a gllon of water, mixe in the sugar, can of cooper's, all that stuff. A day later, I had to move the seven gallon bucket and the ferment lock came off. I sanitized the pieces and, as I was fitting it backinto the hole in the lid, the washer fell in the...
