So, I'm thinking of using this recipe with vanilla and clove added in, any thoughts?
I just bottled a one gallon batch of this with vanilla bean chopped and added with the chocolate the last week in primary. the sample tasted great.

yewtah-brewha said:want to do this with some leftover wort. I should be able to get a gallon or 2 going. exept I dont have the lactose. or hops any sugestions
I followed this recipe and made some really good beer. Used the full pound of lactose and backed the IBU's off a tad. Natural conditioned and served on cask good carbonation and good head. Used a 1/3 of a cup of dry light extract for carbing. Thank You! :rockin:

brewski09 said:I had an I fetched batch from nibs, so I make a chocolate vodka extract now. As strong as it can be, then blend to taste.
Did you add the lactose and the priming sugar to the bottling bucket and then rack the beer on top of it? has anyone tried adding the lactose to the end of the boil?
Bertleman said:I added the lactose to the boil 10 min before flameout. Pretty sure it's not for priming.
You can add it either time. I prefer during the end of the boil.

yewtah-brewha said:getting ready to bottle or keg this one. the fg was only 1.015 and the og was 1.040 for a ac of 2.6% I dont think I have ever brewed anything this low in alcohol content before. I almost hate to waste time bottling it, but I will. hopefully it will be a great after dinner beer! I decided to do a 5 gallon batch.
Wondering what expected FG I should be expecting with this recipe. My OG was a little high 1.067. Mashed at 154. Let it sit in primary for 3 weeks figuring I would cold crash and bottle within the next few days. Went to check gravity and it looked like I had krausen still on top. FG was at 1.025-26. I pitched 1 pack of notty. Never seen it take so long before. But I've also never used lactose so maybe it wasn't krausen but it sure looked like it.
Bottled this today. Taste was bitter chocolate was hoping for a smoother dark chocolate. Used a full lb of lactose to so I'm surprised. Hopefully it smooths out in the bottle.
