I just brewed my first All-grain (BIAB) stout... a chocolate/cherry stout...
I added the 8 oz of Hersey's Dark coco with 5 min left to the boil, I added one large can of cherry puree to the primary.
On Sunday, the fully oxygenated wort went into the fermenter (5.5 gal.) and I added the Wyeast. The fermentation started what I would say 'on schedule' and was bubbling nicely.
Today, Tuesday the bubbling slowed to 'nary a blip. As if it's done with fermentation. I'm sure those billions of yeast guys are still doing their thing, but is this normal for a Stout with my late additions? Like I said, not only was this my first BIAB, but it was also my first stout.
I guess I thought it might bubble moreso than any of my others due to the sweetness of the wort and the cherry puree in the primary..
I'll be transferring to secondary in 10 days or so, but thought I'd ask the crowd here.
thanks! Wish me luck!
By the way, anyone brewed this Chocolate/Cherry Stout recipie in Brewsmith??
