Brew Batch #135 Melted Chocolate Bars v.1.1
So no nibs in the secondary due to my impatience to see how the overall recipe itself improved. But 4 gallons of very "clear" sweet stout of some kind was kegged today (clarity thanks to "weather", a couple of nights near freezing works great, really just one). I plan on using that same Safale 05 cake that's still in the fermenter to work on something else come Monday. FG 1.014+0.000@55F gives us 5.25%. That yeast really chewed it down. A full 1.25 points further than expected, but in reality we're just getting some good sweet stout batches rolling for the ultimate goal of Postman's Route Peppermint Stout.
