Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Clone

[ForerunnerBrewer]

This was a huge crowd pleaser for me. I did it last year with I think 8 oz chocolate powder and 2 oz oak chips. I boiled the chips and added the powder after boil to extract the flavor. The chips were in a bag sunk with an espresso shot glass. I had everything on the bottom when I poured into the secondary.

I have read some people saying to add 1oz of oak because more is too powerful. I don't agree because after a few months the oak flavor fades a bit. With this in mind I am now ging downstairs to rack this batch to the 2nd and will be adding an extra .5 oz oak and perhaps a bit more chocolate.

My American oak tastes like BBQ

A buddy loves yeti and we brewed this last weekend and hit the OG. Can't wait to let this one age. Might crack one bottle around Christmas to give it a try!

I think as a Texan our taste for heat is at a higher threshold?

If anyone has brewed the OP's recipe recently can you comment on how close it is to the original Yeti? Is the mouth-feel similar?
