Chocolate Cherry Leftover Extract Beer Thingy

Chocolate Cherry Leftover Extract Beer Thingy

Specialty Beer • Partial Mash • 3.5 gal

ToddBrew

This was a recipe to use up some leftover stuff. I also added a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/4 cup of cocoa to the boil. In secondary I will add 3 Lbs. of Dark Cherries and 1 cup of Godiva Chocolate Liqueur. The wort tasted awesome, I almost just wanted to drink it by itself! Make sure to secondary with plenty of extra space due to the increased fermentation from the cherries and liqueur. This one is gonna be sooth just in time for Xmas.

Update: I ended up adding only cherries to the secondary--1# per gallon of wort. I will use the godiva chocolate liqueur as part of my bottling sugar. Reference \"radical brewing\" by Mosher to compute the percentage of sugar in a liqueur by weight. The beer is still happily bubbling away in the secondary after 4 weeks! I will rack to tertiary soon. TB
