I just brewed a recipe that I got out of the good old joy of homebrewing book or the “homebrew bible” as I like to think of it.  It is a stout recipe that is similar to a Tooth & Vine Sheaf Stout, and if you’ve ever had one of these little gems you know why it has to be tried.  the interesting part is that you start out with a 7 lb Irish stout kit and then you add some extra hops and 1/4 lb of roasted barley and that is it.

First off, the Irish stout kit, WOW!!!, I have never seen anything like that except maybe axle grease.  it was soooo thick and that was even after letting it heat up in a pot of water on the stove top.

We racked to secondary last night and it smelled so good, the coffee and chocolate smells were just incredible.  I am so lucky that I have started kegging, because now I will probably be drinking this little gem next week.

Unfortunately I am no closer to getting my kegerator up and running, I just can’t find the right fridge or chest freezer to use.
