Notes

Double size (10 gal) version of my chocolate stout recipe.

Modified version of Rogue Chocolate Stout. Increased IBUs to be closer to the actual beer as the Zymurgy recipe incorrectly only has 40IBUs. Color was also very light, so increased roasted grains. The actual beer is 135L, so this is still pretty far off in color, but was shooting for a lighter / more chocolatey flavor. Added cocoa nibs to the end of the boil, need to determine if they are best served added to the secondary or to the end of boil. Chocolate extract is used in secondary to give strong chocolate aroma/flavor. I'm not sure about vanilla use, perhaps only a hint would be nice, but I may need to adjust to not overpower the beer. There is no vanilla in Rogue.
