Making an All Grain BIAB w/batch sparge chocolate stout. Loosely based on Southern tier's Chokolate but not an imperial. I am putting unsweetened cocoa in the last 2minutes of boil, racking on to cacao nibs in secondary and adding chocolate extract at botting. Not doing imperial because i am using lactose and heard it does not work well at higher gravities. Question is the Chocolate extract i got is 46% alcohol by volume (4oz) if added at bottling will this affect FG or taste on a 5 gallon batch. Some recipes call for 2-4oz to be used.
