I recently bought a Java Stout kit from midwest brewing. I was planning on adding oats and chocolate as well. There are still several things i'm confused about. 1. how should i add the oast? I don't have an all grain set up and i realize that they would have to be mashed to create fermentables but i'm really only going for the thick body and flavor. can i just steep them with the rest of the grains? 2. I bought unsweetened baker's chocolate. how much, when, and how should I add it? I want a noticable but not overpowering chocolate flavor. 3. what is the best way to add the coffee? I know thats a lot but thanks for the help.
