Ok so I am brewing a coffee stout based on this recipe
http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2013/04/three-modern-times-west-test-batches.html
My plan is to take half of it and turn it into a "mocha" version by adding lactose at bottling and aging on cacao nibs prior to bottling. Can any make some suggestions on the portions to use? It is a 5 gallon batch, so 2.5 gallons will go in a separate better bottle after aging on coffee beans for 24 hours. I am thinking 4oz of lacto and 4 oz of cacao nibs. Also, time frame on the nibs, one week? Any opinions? Thanks in advance for your opinions!
