Hello,
I brewed a small batch (11.5 litres) of Chocolate stout the other day. I would like to add some chocolate extract on bottling day, has anyone done this? I’m not sure how much to add?
Thanks for any input.
Lots of folks have done this - me included. I like Nielsen-Massey extracts, fwiw.
1 ounce/30ml in your bottling bucket should get your 11.5 liters in a chocolatey ballpark.
Stir as gently as possible before bottling to minimize oxidation.
Take notes for the next batch if you decide you want to up the amperage...
