I started a Cooper's Irish Stout kit. It's a 23 litre batch all told. I boiled a couple cups of ground-up chocolate hops in two litres of water and added that to primary fermenting.

First batch turned out way better than I expected. It needs another week or so in bottles but it'll do for now. Anyway, I said I'd post a picture a while back, so here it is. Cheers! :mug:
