"Kealia's Karate Chop Chocolate Stout"

How the heck did I miss this? Are you on a personal mission to brew a stout that I'll drink?
I can tell you that I like Guiness (FWIW) and I was able to drink a Left Handed Milk Stout when I tried it a while back.

You finally saw it!!! I put that on my list quite some time ago and was just letting it go until you noticed!!! I couldn't help myself!

IT's funny, I normally don't even look at sig lines at this point, it just caught my eye. Sneaky Duck.

In the bottles conditioning:

1. Amber Ale
2. Mexican Cerveza
3. Oktoberfest

Fermenting:

1. Nut Brown Ale
2. Dark Ale
3. Oktoberfest with additions

On Deck:

1. Bock Bier
2. American Lager
3. European Lager

Just bottled a honey brown ale. Can't wait to give it a try after tasting the FG. VERY GOOD!

My mother in law got me three Brewdemon kits,

Fermenting - Hellfire Deep Red

Coming up - Ye Ode Devil Nut Brown & Wild Spirt IPA

Anyone have any tips or ideas on how I can change/add stuff to them?

I would recommend not adding anything, so you can learn what the base refill tastes like. They have enough malt, you could add some carafoam/carapils steeped if you want a bit more head and mouthfeel, but I would not.

Heh, heh.

God! I love this hobby!

Bottled up Imperial Choco Brown. 1.016 FG for 6.4% abv! The smell is so intense.

Sparging the Traveling Red for Nashville, put two pork shoulders on the smoker for The Toys For Tots Tailgate, where we feed our Marines who will be collecting toys Sunday at the Browns Game, and getting ready to start mashing first AG Lager, did an extract that came out good so gonna try my hand at an AG. Busy day ahead!

Got my Middletown Pale Ale into mash. Just finished breaking up the hops.

Oooo Ooooo Weeee! I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest!

I brewed and bottled at the same time today. Started grinding my grain at 09:30 and am just now able to sit down while I'm letting the whirlpool settle in.

That's something I've never done before; whirlpool. I brewed up a batch of my "Passage To India" IPA and the recipe calls for a hop addition of 1.2oz of Centennial (I had to substitute Cascade) plus .3oz of Simcoe during the whirlpool. I had to look it up on YouTube to see how it's done and it's pretty simple.

In addition to all that I bottled my batch of "1421 Shire Ale" pale ale. The kitchen was/is a disaster but I'm slowly chipping away at it and hopefully will have most of it cleaned up before LOML makes it home.

You go boyyyyyyyy!
What temp did you whirlpool? You'll get some nice aroma from that and a smile on your face.

Today I’m bottling a bourbon barrel porter, and tomorrow starting a NB chocolate milk stout. Really looking forward to tasting that one. Had to sub the yeast, my LHBS was out of both Wyeast Northwest Ale and the White Labs Pacific Ale. So I got WLP 005. the starter’s on the stir plate now.

Bottled a 2.5 batch of Accidental Altbier this morning. I'll be kegging the fiver of White Panama tomorrow, as well as brewing a 2.5 batch of Fedorus Magnus Kölsch. I think I'll be pretty well set for Christmas festivities.
