So I soaked 4 oz. of cocoa nibs in 6 ounces of bourbon for five days (along with 1.5 vanilla beans, cut and scraped). I strained it through a coffee filter today, and it smells awesome, but it is SUPER bitter (and I'm a hop head), almost astringent. I'm hesitant to add it to the RIS I have in primary. Did I do something wrong? Will it mellow? Will Rocky reach Bullwinkle in time?
