Hi all, I recently brewed a chocolate stout with 8 ounces of hersheys cocoa powder added, and it has hovered around 1.025 for about 5 days. My question is: would adding coca powder affect the final gravity of my beer?

I am already in the process of warming up the brew in case the fermentation is stuck since its been a bit cooler in the house this week. We'll see if that does anything.

Thanks all.
 
It won't affect the FG, because as far as I know the cocoa powder doesn't dissolve into solution, it's just in suspension. Similar reason why yeast floating around don't have an effect on your FG.
