how did it turn out?

Thank you for your input! Will use 4oz of cocoa nibs instead of 1oz. In regards to steeping the cinnamon sticks, should I add the "tea" in flameout or at secondary? I read from other threads that they just soaked them in vodka for a few days and added to secondary. Good insights on the...

Thank you for easing my mind on this.

good pointers. Thanks!

So for this upcoming Christmas, decided to brew a Mexican inspired chocolate milk stout. Extract brew stout brewed with cocoa, cinnamon, piloncillo, Mexican dark chocolate, lactose, vanilla, and hazelnut. Here is my recipe: Fermentables - 0.5 lb Maltodextrin (to enhance stout body) - 3 lb...

I'm doing a stout this month (will be my 4th brew batch). I have only done extract batches and used dry yeast. All my 3 batches have been successful. Seems a lot of people really recommend the use for yeast starters, but in regards to all-grain. What about for extract brewing?

Im going to brew a milk chocolate hazelnut stout and want to add hazelnut extract at bottling. How do I do this? Should I add the extract to the fermentor on bottling day before or after the priming sugar?

Love the fact they showcase local breweries, craftpubs, and local brews in the respective cities. Hope they do Chicago! The concept might be silly, but I think if they were just brewing normal brews at local breweries, might get repetitive. I guess they have to spice it up a bit for...

Good tips. Thanks! I have never tasted tepache, so unsure what good tepache is suppose to taste like.

During fermentation or after?

I noticed that pellet grills have digital temperature readers...are they battery powered or through an electrical cord?

thank you all for the recommendations.

Thank you for the recommendation. Will eliminate the use of piloncillo then. Since I am new at brewing stouts, are there any good milk stout extract based recipes?

So I have brewed two beers with a buddy (extract, not mash) with the help of brewing kits. We successfully brewed an APA and Belgian witbier. We are thinking of brewing a chocolate stout, but modifying a bit by incorporating Abuelita Chocolate (Mexican chocolate hard tablet used for making...
