Chocolate Raspberry Stout Has a New Home

Well, today we moved our stout from primary to secondary. We racked on top of 12 oz of raspberries. The gravity reading before the move was 1.021. Our target gravity is 1.014. We used Dole frozen raspberries. They were nuked in the microwave for 3 minutes to thaw and sanitize, then crushed quickly with a fork, then plopped into the carboy. There was about 1 inch of trub at the bottom of the bucket. Pretty funky looking, mixture of hops, yeast, and chocolate. Kinda looked like....Well, you get the picture. Dammit, we should have taken a picture. So the Stout is now currently wrapped in a blanket in the bedroom, where it will remain cozy for the next 2 weeks, until tertiary time.
