- Boil time dropped to 45 from 90 min, mash dropped from 60 to 45 min.
- Dark grains added with 20 min left in mash.
- Not sure if cocoa added much to the OG but it was WAY higher than my usual efficiency.
- Fermenter temp dropped to 11C on first night due to a themostat problem and fermentation didn't kick in till almost 24 hrs after pitching then it fermented hard.
