Chocolate porter recipe help

[munro]

Got a recipe for my LHBS for a traditional porter. Want to make this a chocolate porter. Recipe as follows in picture. Also bought a 1/2 lb of chocolate malt and will buy coco nibs. Should I add the choc. Malt in the mash or nibs in primary after fermentation (I generally don't do a secondary)? Or both? Also what do you guys think of the recipe itself as is? It's from a binder of recipes that the owner of the store has in his shop for people to browse through.

I would mash the chocolate malt and add the cocoa nibs after the boil is done. I've heard of different ways to add cocoa nibs, that's one, the other is to add after primary is done to avoid aroma loss. I haven't tried it yet but I would brew it twice doing it both ways and take good tasting notes. Then devices which one u like better. Cheers!
