Close enough to share? Love dead guy

Yah, I knew it would be. The other two were just a bit of shi1ts-n-giggles, but the apple cider yeast was nice, too. I'll have a friend do a blind taste of the three tomorrow...we brewed it together, and he hasn't had any yet.

Kinda with you. Didn't get much chocolate. It wasn't aweful. Sucked it right down!

12 degrees out with a 9 mile wind. Feels like 0.

Got about 10 runs in so far. Time to take the gloves off and warm my fingers up

What’s the secret to good chocolate flavor that doesn’t taste artificial? I know that I will never use that hazelnut flavor again also.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Try secondary 6oz coconibs for 10days with a 5gal batch. Probably have to experiment a bit. I use stainless steel strainers to filter while racking to the keg.

Well... I soaked 8 oz of these in vodka for 5 days https://www.amazon.com/Viva-Naturals-Organic-Cacao-Nibs/dp/B00MGW81YM then racked on top of in secondary for 7 days and all I can taste is the vodka. I’ve heard a light toasting enhances the flavor.

I did a Schwarzbier with 25% of the grain bill being coco puffs. Chocolate really came through. Use lots of rice hulls.

I've heard that crushing them up helps a bit, but I've had 0 luck with nibs, too...for whatever reason.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

I've had success just straight secondary with them loose. Seems to extract more flavor that way.
