Brew Batch #199 Melted Chocolate Bars v1.3

Into the keg today, FG 1.016+0.000 @62F. I fine 5.8% bevvy whose yeast cake looked like thick chocolate pudding! Needless to say, if I was going to reuse the yeast cake, I should've done it as soon as I pulled the beer off because there's no storing it full of Baker's cocoa. Hopefully this yields a smooth lightly roasted quaff.

Brew Batch #199 Melted Chocolate Bars v1.3

Having turned out to be the hardest batch I've ever tried to dial in, I attempt to brew the perfect milk stout. Past iterations have been far too roasty or the yeast profile has been off. So, this time the grain bill is totally revamped, Wyeast 1332 is being used and even 8oz of Baker's Cocoa is going in. OG is 1.060+0.00@72F so I hopeful for a solid 6% beer.
