I bottled this in Feb of 2013, Been slowly drinking it ever since, still have a few bottles left and its been getting better over time.. I now describe this as my THIN MINT BREW!
Thanks for the recipe it did fairly well in the brewing comp. scored a 30 and it was my first attempt at this beer!
Ok ok.. so im bottling in two days tried the beer its great. But I am curious if anyone has added peppermint to the last few days and how much? I don't want to over power the beer. Thanks everyone!
*nevermind. I tried it when I was getting the final sg... its perfect! Time to figure out...
I haven't used that before but the bitterness comes from the unsweetened coco powder, coco Is actually bitter naturally, same goes with coco nibs. So if your Dutch processed coco powder is less or not bitter then yes I will help.
Yes a week today, I was going to add the peppermint leaves the last few days into the 14 day fermentation. I never brewed a stout and an extremely anxious about this one. Thanks for the input I really appreciate it.
