Notes

Based on Corey King's tips on brewing huge stouts.

Worst. Ferment. Ever. Wort was like chocolate sauce, it took around 5 weeks with 2 added yeast pitches to get it down to 1.042. Cold crashed for over a week. Couldn't bottle a few liters because of the amount of sludge. Got around 15 liters in bottles.

Final Adjuncts:
100 gr of cocoa nibs, roasted and soaked in 200 ml buffalo trace for a week. Then strained an cooled.

3 vanilla beans, scraped and put in 200 ml buffalo trace for a month. Last 5 days i added 20 grams of american oak.

Cocoa tincture and vanilla/oak tincture added together, added 20ml/L to the beer at bottling. Primed with 5.5 gr/L sucrose and dosed with champagne yeast.
