Notes

At start of fermentation, begin soaking 4-8oz of cacao nibs in vodka. After primary fermentation is complete, add cacao nibs and vodka to fermenter during secondary (for the remainder of fermentation).

Cold brew a coffee concentrate with a light/blonde roast. Add 6-16oz of coffee concentrate into fermenter during secondary fermentation.
