hello again my beer making pals!!!!!
Me and my brother made a bark(I MEAN BLACK!!!) wheat 2 weeks ago and I wanted to add 1oz of cocoa nibs for a hint of chocolate. The guy at my LHBS said just to add them at the end of the boil and they would melt into the brew.
Well that did not happen!! they didn't melt at all and they clogged the drain line into my chiller!!! Does anybody out here have any knowledge on using these cocoa nibs or maybe chocolate powder, or maybe chunks of chocolate bar in their beer? any ideas on how much to use and when to use it????
Do I need to prepare the cocoa nibs first somehow???
Thanks again!!
