	Racked to secondary. Very sweet, with an almost caramel flavor that resolves into a very smooth coffee aftertaste. I'm hoping between secondary fermentation and carbonation that the sweetness is reduced, otherwise it'll be like drinking beer soda. -[[User:Morrigu\|Morrigu]]		Racked to secondary.

	I ~~want~~ to make ~~another really big beer, but~~ this time ~~without~~ the ~~spices~~.		Changed my mind. I'm going to make a chocolate stout this time, and will work on the big beer after that.

	* 6.6 lbs (2 cans) ~~extra light~~ lme		* 6.6 lbs. (2 cans) dark lme
	* ~~6.6 lbs (2 cans) light lme~~		* Wyeast 1098 British Ale "smack pack"
	* 3.~~3 lbs (1 can) Amber lme~~		* 1 oz. spalt hops pellets
	* 1 ~~lbs crystal 40 malt~~		* 1 oz. kent golding hops pellets
	* ~~1/2 lbs munich I malt~~		* 3 oz roasted cocoa nibs
	* 2 oz black patent malt		* 2 oz black patent malt
	* ~~2 oz roasted barley malt~~		* Gotta find more malts
	* ~~2 oz smoked cherry malt~~		* 5 oz. priming sugar
	* 2.5 oz ~~Fuggle hops~~
	* 2.~~5 oz Soverign hops~~
	* 2 oz Spalt hops
	* 2 tubes White Labs yeast (possibly 007)
	* 1 packet champagne yeast
	* 1 tsp irish moss
	* 1 cup light dme (priming)

	I'm hoping to make a really big beer, coming up around 10% alcohol, but without the spices and associated flavors from that. I'll probably go with more different kinds of malt and hops, but still want to stick with around 8oz hops and the 4 basic ingredients in beer. Ok, I'll probably add a clarifier too.
