Notes

Do not make a starter; pitch only the manufacturer's recommended amount for proper ester production.

Do not mash the chocolate. Cold steep instead about twice the amount for a day or two in sterilized water. Add after boil before pitching. (I only include the ingredient at the top to estimate color.)
