I'm sorry to be getting back to this so late. Ours turned out pretty good. Not phenomenal, but
pretty good. When we brewed it and when we racked it, it was inky, inky black (from all the

Or, slightly m...Posted in thread: T-minus how long to beer? on 11-15-2011 at 04:48 AM
This is comforting. We started a chocolate cherry stout on Sep 10 or so, racked it on Sep 22

I'm curious how this one came out, as my friends and I are also working on one.Posted in thread: Chocolate Cherry Stout on 09-19-2011 at 02:44 AM
Here's what we are working on right now. I'll be able to report back around Christmas as to

recipe. To ma...Posted in thread: chocolate cherry stout on 09-19-2011 at 02:38 AM
