ChocoRasStout Moves to Tertiary

Today the Chocolate Raspberry Stout has moved into it's new home, into a third carboy for tertiary. The primary purpose of this was to remove the beer from the raspberries and get it off whatever trub was in there. I took a hydrometer reading and also had a tasting. The beer was much better than when we moved it into secondary, the bitterness was way down. Also, the raspberries added a great sweetness, while also adding wonderfully mild yet noticeable raspberry flavor. The gravity reading wasn't what we were hoping for, it only dropped to 1.020 from 1.021, but that's OK, It should still be great.
