Chocolate Raspberry Porter

After about 6 days in primary the chocolate raspberry porter is almost done fermenting. I decided to take a sample. My gravity went from 1.074 to 1.012, which puts the beer currently around 8.5%. The beer has almost no body, with a sweet taste. No chocolate flavor was present, and the sweet flavor did not taste like raspberry. I have been searching ways to fix it and I think i will add more raspberries, coco powder, and maltodextrin powder to the secondary stage. Lets hope it turns out better.

I racked the Belgium wheat beer to secondary today. The beer tastes good.

Support your local microbrew,
