Adventures of the Chocolate Stout

Adventures of the Chocolate Stout

Hops randomly found on our adventures in Ithaca.

Checking the temperature in our mash tun.

Boiling the wort outside on our patio on top of a turkey burner (highly recommended procedure...)

There's a heart in our beer!  I'll take that as a sign.

Thank you Martha Stewart for helping us make some delicious beers.

First fermentation.

Transferring the beer into three separate carboys for the second fermentation.  Three experimental batches of beer that we'll reveal when they're finished.

Taking our final gravity reading.  Turned out to be a tad lower than we'd like but we're hoping it increases during the second fermentation.

More to come...
