Morning! I'm new to home brewing and started fermenting my first batch last week. Everything seems to be going well - keeping temp around 64-66 degrees and happily bubbling away.
My question is this - the recipe calls for 1-2 weeks primary, then add chocolate nibs (which I will soak in Vodka to make sure no bacteria), then another 1-2 weeks secondary. I'm doing it all in my primary as I don't have a secondary. Should I just add the chocolate at the end of the first week to let it soak longer? And is there that muck more of a benefit waiting the 4 weeks vs 3 weeks total? Thanks!
And I'll be honest - just can't wait to try it!
Thanks for any advice!
Oh and I'm calling it Lon Lon Milk Stout - if there are any Zelda fans out there (kids were listening to Zelda music when I was brewing and felt appropriate).
