I transferred my chocolate orange stout across to a secondary container today and racked the now fermented beer onto the Cointreau soaked cacao nibs.. Wow! What a fabulous aroma, plums, coffee, chocolate, orange, figs and the beer is as black you like with a gravity reading suggesting that it should finish up around 8.5% ABV In the photo you can just about see a few of the nibs floating around, I'll leave it here for about a week and then stick it in bottles (having filtered the debris out of course); then we wait patiently as it conditions and carbonates..
