WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Mash, Boil, cool wort then in a separate pot boil a small amount of wort and add the coco powder. The coco is partly hydrophobic so you need to boil it to get it mixed properly, watch out for boil over because the coco makes a foamy mess. Dont boil for longer than necessary for coco to mix into solution, longer will result in bitter taste. Add the coco mixture to the cooled wort.

Vanilla beans may be a substitute for extract, take care to note that the bean has much more flavor than the extract.

ferm at 60F, rest at 70 after 4 weeks for about a week. Drop to lager temp to get coco and haze out. Not all coco will fall out.

Ive brewed this a few times and its on par with the flavor of a New Belgian Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Chip cookie dough with a little more mouth feel and much darker color.

Cheers!
