Notes

Dissolve DME in wort outside of kettle to avoid scorching. Add preboil to make sure hop utilization is correct.

In secondary, add vodka soaked:

4oz cacoa nibs
1 vanilla bean, chopped
1 cinammon stick, broken (2-4g)
2 dried ancho peppers, deseeded
2 pasilla peppers, deseeded
1 Guajillo pepper

Replaced Chocolate Rye Malt with same quantity of Chocolate Wheat.

Left in secondary for only 2 days. Was enough to give some nice heat. If I did it again, might leave in for 3.
