Today I need to put cacao nibs into my secondary.
I got to wondering, should I sanitize them? That question gave me an excuse to go buy a 5th of Jack.
So, my nibs have been soaking in about 3 or 4 ounces of Gentlemans Jack for a few hours.
I'm wondering, what will pouring the liquor and all into the secondary do to the turnout of my chocolate-peanut butter stout? Maybe I should pour out most of the liquid (and then drink it) before adding the nibs. Would I lose much of the cocoa flavor if I didn't pour it into the secondary?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
