Just a quick update on the Chocolate Stout

Pin It Now! I racked my stout to my secondary (glass carboy) today. I will either leave it for 4 days and bottle on Tuesday (off work) or leave it till next weekend. My reason for the secondary is simply to clear out a lot of the sediment such as cocoa etc floating around.
At my last gravity reading the other day, I was at between 1.022 and 1.024. It may drop a little in secondary but its not too far off my expected FG and since my SG was a few points higher, it evens it out almost. The taste of my sample was a very chocolaty dry an bitter stout but with an obvious sweetness mixed in. It tasted pretty good for an unfinished beer.
