Ciccarelli Stout

by John Ciccarelli

(from the June 96 Fermenter)

Mike Wallace's article
"It seems that John and I also made a batch and unknowingly, we both entered them in the Shamrock Open. They took first and second in the stout category! After a little friendly give and take (mostly instigated by Mary Jo) we entered them in the US Open. They took second and third!"

"John entered his beer as a Foreign Extra Stout. I left out the brown sugar and entered it as an oatmeal stout."
