S04 was a pretty slow start....then a pretty quick ferment last time I used it.
Anyone that brewed this recipe with cocoa powder. Did you notice a strange fermentation? This is my first stout and first time using cocoa powder. The beer seems to be slowly fermenting but there it absolutely no krausen! It's the strangest thing I have ever seen.
Mine finished at 1.030 as well and I used pac man. I didn't sweat it but it seems to be in the 6-7% abv range so maybe my reading was off do to a temperature.

8 OZ Cacao Nibs (KA-KOW!)
2 Whirlfloc Tablets
Wyeast Yeast Nutrient
Dumb question here....what is/are the "Cacao Nibs"???
So, how'd it taste?
