Chocolate Stout and Three Micks 1.1

Good morning beer lovers. Here is a quick update on the latest brews. The Chocolate Stout is almost ready to drink. It should be done carbonating today or tomorrow. I'm going to check it tonight. 

We also brewed another version of my tribute beer, the Three Micks. This version will be another smoked Irish Red Ale, but we changed the smoked malt. This version has 6 ounces of Cherrywood Smoked malt. This malt has a great aroma and taste. It should work well with this beer. If it doesn't, oh well. It's still beer and we will still drink it. I also have half an ounce of light toasted oak chips soaking in Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey for the secondary  / aging process. I'll post an update on Three Micks 1.1 as is progresses. Cheers!

All set up

The ingredients, minus the yeast starter

Thankfully, I had a backup tank
