Hey everyone.
A friend and I just bought a kit and we have an amber ale in our primary right now. We bottle next week and we want to start our next batch. It's my turn to pick so I bought ingredients to make a chocolate cherry stout. I made my recipe based off of serveral recipes I had read online. I'm getting worried that I have too many grains going into it. Or maybe too many hops. The IBU's will be around 104. The grains wouldn't be a problem but I bought them premixed. Can someone give me advice on this recipe. Should I use fresh fruit or canned? And what would be a good Chocolate powder to use. Thanks.
