Do you think adding the cocoa powder to the secondary. Would add a smoother more mellow chocolate flavor?? Brew nubie question
I think that's more a function of the amount of chocolate flavor. I like mine to grab your by the throat and scream "CHOCOLATE!!!!!" in your face. If you want mellow, back off on the cocoa powder. A lot. I feel like the boil really helps to bring the chocolate out of the cocoa powder. It roils around and seems to extract really well that way.
