Notes

A fairly close grain bill to authentic Irish stout... but I like chocolate so there you have it.

Named after my father's character of choice in the SCA, Lord Aegirjon of Cathanar.

1.5 starter used.

Fermented at 65F until FG is achieved... Normally takes 2 week or so.

Cacao in the secondary at 68F for 7 days or to taste...

Condition for 2 weeks minimum, and you shall have a fantastic chocolatey, creamy, dry Irish stout.
