Chocolate Porter!

Sun Oct 15, 2006 8:44 am

Hey folks,
Just wondering if anyone has tried using cacao powder for porters? I tried mixing 2 oz. with my priming sugar just before bottling (boiled with approximately 1 cu. of water). It turned out fantastic! The aroma is phenomenal. Any comments would be appreciated.
Cheers,

Jamil has a Chocolate Hazlenut porter recipe. It's a kit from B3. Do a search around the B3 forum and you can find it there. Jamil's recipe has you adding it (I'm not sure of the amount) during the last 15 minutes of the boil. You them transfer everything from the kettle to the fermenter and let it sit on the chocolate for about three weeks.
