Black cherries (500g), drained from Kirsch they had been processed with & stored in, added in primary fermentation 5 days after pitch. Cacao Nibs (30g) added 1 week later into primary for infusion 4 more days.
Secondary fermentation: racked onto more cherries (820g), this time processed in syrup, for 1 more week.
Beer drained of fruit. Bottle conditioned, primed with brewer’s sugar and matured over 2 months.
