Stout Family: Small Batch

Yesterday marked the bottling of the Stout Family.  The base for the group of beers was a Cream Stout batch.  We divided the priming sugar up and boiled 2/5 of it with some Belgian cocoa powder.  Half of that was used as priming/flavor for 10 bottles of Post-Race Recovery Chocolate Milk Stout.  The other half was mixed with a cup of very strong cold-pressed coffee to create 10 bottles of Early Riser Mocha Cream Stout.  The remaining 3/5 of the priming sugar was used for two other variations.  We used an additional cup of the cold-pressed coffee to make 10 bottles of Early Riser Coffee Cream Stout.  Finally, the remaining cream stout was bottle with no additions, creating 23 bottles of Podium Cream Stout.
