Thanks people! I'll let everyone know how it turns out

sweet thanks, got any more tips? 4oz. shouldn't be to over powering of a chocolate taste should it?

Hey there im in the process of steeping my toasted flaked oats and a variety of grain. If i want to add dutch cocoa does it go in at the beginning of end of the boil? THNKS

Where do ya'll recommend buying the dutch process choc.? Can I find it in local stores?

Sweet, thanks, My next question is how much should I add if I just want chocolate notes at the end of a drink? Thanks A LOT!:rockin:

Okay, so I'm planning on making a Breakfest Stout at about 8.5%abv i plan to toast some oats and maybe add a little of this heady coffee i've been drinking.... but my question is how would some of you guru's suggest me adding chocolate to this Stout, cocoa or bakers chocolate?:confused...

hello kind folk, ol' nut here from MI my question is whens the ideal time to add the hops (1oz summet hops) prior to it being bottled? and should i put the leaf hops in a sock or will just throwing them in by themselfs be fine? (im worrying about them getting clogged in the siphon tube)...

:eek: should i hold back on the 1/4 gal of liquid then?

I guess I should say I'm adding 1oz. of Perle pellet for bittering, and 1oz. of cascade 2 min before I shut the flame off
