Would love if anyone would like to chime in on a recipe I'm working on. My inspiration is my love of Mexican hot chocolate, and the wild hair I got to add powdered caffeine into a beer.
6 lbs of Dark Malt Extract
1 lbs of Chocolate malt
1 lbs of Coffee malt
1/2 lbs of Blackprinz malt
1/2 lbs of De-bittered black malt
1 oz US Kent Goldings (60 min)
1oz US Fuggle (10 min)
1/2 tsp cayenne (10 min)
3 Tbsp of cocoa powder (2 min)
1 tsp cinnamon (2 min)
Wyeast Irish Ale
same amount of hops used for dry hop one week after fermentation.
powdered caffeine added to bottling sugar (amount TBD after research to put approximately a cup of coffee's worth into each bottle)
Looking for any kind of criticism on timing, amounts, hop choice, yeast choice, grain bill (seeing as it's kind of a mixed bag).... anything you want to tear apart. No offense taken if you see something and think I'm whacked
Thanks in advance!!
