So I’m making a chocolate stout. And the recipe calls for infusing the cocoa nibs in vodka then adding to secondary to give it the chocolate flavor.
I had read that when making infusions you will actually get a “cleaner” flavor making infusions with Everclear than diluting it with water.
Would it be better to soak the cocoa nibs in everclear? And should I dilute it with water or let the five gallons of stout do the diluting?
