Notes

Added cocoa powder with last hops, strained out. Soaked peppers in 1c vodka and added after fermentation was over, let sit for another week or two. Flavor was meh.

Puree habaneros in blender, add after fermentation is complete. New grains should have enough chocolate flavor, but if not maybe steep some cocoa powder in secondary for a while?
