Hey thanks....maybe I will do that next time. It is a chocolate stout. So maybe next time i can add cherrys or something. Thanks again.

Yon know that is what I kinda thought but just wasn't sure. Thanks for the info. Now if I wanted to could I have added fruits or something like that to the beer?

Now that I have it in the secondary, should the beer be doing anything? What is actually happening in the secondary?

Thanks for the help....

Now that I have it in the secondary do I need to add anything or just let it alone?

Thanks for the help...I just put it into the secondary and it actually looked pretty good. I smelled great. Really thick. So cool the wort in he boil pot first....did not know that. That would speed up the cooling. What is a starter?

I have a few more basic questions that I can not seem to find the answers to; During the boil should I be sturring it? After I strain the wort into the primary and let it cool should I stir in the yeast or what? Again Thanks for the help....

Hey thanks for the help...

I have a 2nd fermenter. Do I just syphen it into the fermenter or do I need to do anything else?

What about the chucks of yeast? Can I go ahead and bottle? Or should I wait a bit longer?

The first one or this one? The first one on 1.070 I didnt get a reading because the gauge went to the bottom of the cylinder

Hey everyone, I am on my second brew and I am doing a chocolate stout. This is the tenth day. I went to open the fermenter and the brew was looked really gritty. It still had chunks of it looked like yeast in it. It smelled fine. I took a gravity reading and the thing sunk to the bottom...
