Notes

2 x 20 litres to keg
V1 as recipe above plus:
Coffee Beans 25.0g End of boil in hop bags
Cacao Nibs 25.0g End of boil in hop bags

V2 with additions below
Cacao Nibs 25.0g Conditioning
Coffee Beans 25.0g Conditioning
Oak Chips 15.0g Conditioning

Put coffee beans and cocoa nibs in a cheese cloth and dip in wort like a tea bag. Do multiple small additions for short lengths of time – the longer you leave them in the more heavy oils will be extracted.
