this looks really good!!! might be my next brew :)

There's something about brewing our own beer that we can't describe. Whenever we have an amazing batch we want everyone to have a sip of our creation! Taking notes about the process and unexpected turns is just as important as the recipe itself. But better than that, imagine passing your recipes...

I've used cocoa nibs too but cocoa nibs arent sweet at all. Neither are the vanilla beans. I hear berries bring out the sweetness in cocoa. I might try that next. Yeah, i have looked through the recipe database, but couldnt find anything. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hi guys, The sam smith chocolate stout is one of the best beers i've ever tried. I've tried to brew a clone but it turned out bitter instead of sweet. Does any one have a clone recipe for that one? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks for help man! It smelled amaizing when i transfered to the fermenter! I added the orange after flame out and the orange smell was definitely there! I also read on the fermentis website that for beers with less than 5% ABV to use half package instead of the full package. Wonder if that...

REALLY REALLY good answer! thanks so much for your insight! that answered all my questions hehe:ban:

Brewing this today!! My LHBS didnt have the Flaked Wheat so I got the Unmalted Red wheat, my guess is that that will only affect the color of the beer. Suggestions? And I think I will use 3.3lb of Liquid Extract instead of 2lb. Thoughts?

Cultkid, thank you SO MUCH for your advice! I had another bottle last night and the smell improved slightly, there were notes on chocolate. I will follow your advice and wait a few months. Thanks again man!

I cant find a reason why the beer doesnt tast very good. What contamination tastes like? That could be it too. Also it took me a about two hours to cool the wort, maybe thats part of the off flavors... I will open another bottle tonight or tomorrow and try to identify any aroma or taste so i can...

I added just a little bit after leaving in the vodka for a week. But i'm reading on "how to brew" by john palmer that high fermentation temps will produce really bad off-flavors in the beer. The batch fermented at 70 -72F. That might be it

I must have done somwthing wrong. I put some chocolate nibs in secondary, last week i finally had the first bottle and it had a smoky after taste, and a sort of root sweet smell. Not what i expected. Can anyone tell me what was your results? Roasty? Smooth? Id appreciate any feedback

The sam smiths chocolate stout is the #1 at home too. Followed by a few Rogue ones and the Vanilla Porter.
