Hello all,
I just brewed a Double Chocolate Stout from AHS. I plan to add ~5 lbs of raspberries in secondary. I plan to let the brew sit in primary fermentation for ~2 weeks, then transfer to secondary for another ~2-3 weeks before bottling.
I was wondering if I should add some extra chocolate in secondary, because I don't want the raspberry to overpower the chocolate flavor of the beer.
Re: raspberries- which is better: frozen or fresh?
Also curious if should I add a few tablespoons of vanilla extract- I figure it would smooth out the taste and add another layer of flavor to the beer?
This is my first time adding something to secondary, and I am in the mood to experiment. Or am I crazy for adding too much stuff in secondary? lol
