Great information on brewing stouts. Suggestion to maybe have videos of practical applications would be appreciative.
Good overall and well rounded.
Excellent and very broad coverage of stouts as a whole. I would like a bit more coverage on chocolates being added as fat is a concern of course so any chocolate won't work and nibs are so bitter and a little astringent.
very good. right amount of video and text
