Notes

Version #1 turned out great, split batch. Half got lactose, orange peal and chocolate the other half got Xocoveza spice mix. Ingredient 3 was Candi syrup, home made syrup #5 using 1.25 lb table sugar per https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/20-lb-of-sugar-and-a-jar-of-yeast-nutrient.114837/ Version #1 had no oats.

Cold steep chocolate, crystal 120 and Carafa II 3 qt. room temp water for 24 hours yielding 10 cups or 1.040 wort. This went in 90 minute boil.

Used a combination of 75% Lone Pint house yeast and 25% A38 Juice. Fermented 1.090 to 1.018 in about 48 hours. 1.014 at 21 days. Pitched about 400 billion cells into 4 gallons of wort. Fermented in mid to upper 60s F. Highest temp measured was 71. Performed second aeration at 12 hours. 5 minutes with aquarium pump and aquarium air stone.

Options: Add lactose at a rate of 1 lb/5 gallons wort and flavorings Chocolate, Coffee, Vanilla, Orange Peel, Cinnamon, Chili etc. after primary fermentation.

Current version (#2) subs 1.25 lb Light Munich malt for d-180 syrup and adds 1 lb flaked oats and 1 lb maple syrup after fermentation was about done. Mashed all the grain together. Fermented with 100% Lone Pint house yeast. Got 80% attenuation.
