The stouts, Black Chocolate Stout and Black Chocolate Blueberry Stout, have been bottled. We had a decent yield, 47 12oz. bottles of each. They should be ready to drink around mid-April. If you ask nicely maybe we’ll share some with you.

I’ve been on a big Belgian kick lately, and since I’m not quite ready to jump into anything like a sour ale I decided to brew a witbier. I also wanted to try my hand at what I expected to be a much more complicated multi-step mash. Since the cooler I use for a mash/lauter tun holds the temperature so steady the two-step mash wasn’t really any more difficult than a single-step mash.

We brewed a batch of the Black Chocolate Stout and a batch of the Black Chocolate Blueberry Stout today. The secret is that we really brewed one 10 gallon batch of the Black Chocolate Stout and then added blueberry puree to half of it. After sampling the blueberry version, I think we’re going to add another 3 pounds of blueberry puree this week to get a little more flavor.
