Notes

At start of fermentation, begin soaking 4-8 oz of cacao nibs in vodka. After primary fermentation is complete, add cacao nibs and vodka to fermenter during secondary for the remainder of fermentation, We used 4oz of Ecuadorian and 2oz of Dominican cacao nibs we got from Ethereal Confections.

Add whole coffee beans into secondary. Ferment one day, then begin cold crash for second day.
