I just finished brewing the AHS Milk Chocolate Stout recipe and figured out that I only put in one of the two x 1oz Belgian Cocoa packages during the last 5 minutes of the boil. I haven't added the yeast yet. Should I boil up a little bit of water, add it, and throw it in there? Or leave it?
Forgot to add half of my unsweetened cocoa...

That's what I'd do. And go ahead and pitch your yeast in the meantime. That won't hurt a thing.
Well I figure I'd wait because I'm planning on just adding the water in after I finish boiling...which would essentially kill some of the yeast, wouldn't it? Same concept as cooling down priming solution before putting it in the bottling bucket I assume?

The amount of water you'd need would only take a few minutes to cool enough to throw into your wort.
You could probably even just throw in the cocoa and give it a good stir. Probably wouldn't hurt anything. Boiling it might bring out a little more of the flavor though.
