I recently brewed a Cherry Stout (from BCS) and added a 1kg of cherries in the last 10 minutes of the boil.
The cherry flavour hasn't come through so i decided to add a 500g can of Coles whole black cherries (all skins look slightly split) in syrup on Monday 8/10.
OG was 1058, the stout was at 1016 when i added the cherries, krausen had mostly fallen in when i added the cherries, noticed a new krausen i guess come up.
Question is how long should I leave the beer on these cherries before i can bottle? hard say i have a stable Gravity if the sugars are only slowly leaching out of the cherries.
cheers
