Let us know how it comes out. I am interested in trying a strawberry beer. I have heard it can be difficult to get that strawberry flavor to come though.

I wanted a big strawberry flavor, hence the 12lbs and 3 weeks in the secondary. (If you're going to buy fruit, go to Costco. $8 for a 6lb bag. My local Smith's was like $10 for 3lb...)

I'm just worried about having not enough chocolate now...

with 8oz, it should come through nicely.

looks and sounds awesome. I'd bet that all that acidity from the Strawberries gives it a nice twang.
Be sure to bring some by the next time you're up in CO (sorry, couldn't get away for your birthday at O'dells).

Let us know how is comes out.

Where did you get the idea for this recipie?

I love chocolate, strawberries, and beer...it seemed like a logical next step.

The label is going to be a chocolate-dipped strawberry grenade
