    coffee or chocolate extract

    Let me preface this with I have no idea, however I think it would be best used in either secondary, or if you don't use a secondary, at kegging/bottling time. It could really enhance a nice porter or stout. Sounds like a good experiment. If you try it I would love to hear the results.

    Successes and failures with grain mills, what mill has worked best for you?

    ++. On corona mill. Takes a little getting grinds the way you want them but works great. I still hand crank mine, a little work out to get the blood flowing and mind working before brewing.

    Thanks for the info. I will work with that recipe a bit as I only have 6 # pilsner . I don't care much about staying true to style so I'm digging the basil honey addition into primary.

    In need of a recipe

    This is kinda like what I'm looking at, 12.5 # pilsner 1.5 # Munich 1.5 # candid sugar 2 oz hallertau 1/2 oz goldings 1 oz saaz However I would use the honey in place of candi syrup and would like to not use as much pilsner. Maybe pale malt and Vienna for some of the pilsner.
