I'd read a few recipes for chocolate stout. Recipes vary, but I did an 8 ounce can of cocoa late in the boil and then dry hopped on cocoa nibs.
I imagine people go from subtle chocolate to Hershey stout and everything in between.
I also added some lactose to up the sweetness just a bit for the wife. I bet the kit you bought has some of that in it.
I got my kit from UPS today, will post all ingredients in the morning. I didn't wanna create a new thread about it, I just wanted to post what it came with and get your response, among others on exactly what I should add before brew day.....the 8 ounce of cocoa does sound like a winner, Is this dry or a store bought hershey's syrup thing....?
