Mash PH adjusted to: 5.4
BATCH Sparged with lactic acid, then PH adjustment.
Measured efficiency= ~88%
*added Amber DME after 10 minutes of cooling.
I bottled one gallon as is. Lots of chocolate with a hint of smoke.
the other 4.5 gallons are currently in a secondary with 4 oz of bakers chocolate that were dissolved in 3/4 cup of 2-year aged Cruzan Rum. The chocolate dissolved in about a week and chilled out with a vanilla bean, cut into three pieces. Also in the secondary: ~5 oz of roasted cacao nibs, ~1 oz unroasted nibs, ~2 oz of dark roast coffee beans [Verena St. 9 mile sunset], 8 oz. of cold pressed coffee from dark roast beans [Cameron's French Roast].
Let me know what you think of the recipe.
I will add updates when the final product is bottled and conditioned. The 1 gallon that is bottled will be ready first so I'll add a photo of that when it is ready, and the chocolate-coffee version later on. That should be a good comparison to see how the bakers chocolate and the nibs have effected head retention.
[UPDATE 11/1/2012]: I bottled this a few days ago as the chocolate-coffee flavor was phenomenol. I'd highly recommend using both bakers chocolate as a homemade extract and nibs. I also think that dryhopping with whole coffee beans added a great aroma. The cold pressed coffee didn't have much aroma, but added good flavor.
