Brewing this monstrosity, with the thought of putting it on Nitro. I got 7 lbs of free cocoa nibs so I vacuum packed em and am thinking of recipe ideas for em. This is a one of them based of my oatmeal stout recipe, which really, I may not need the oatmeal now that I think about it... could put in more Maris Otter instead. To be honest I have only worked with cocoa nibs one other time and mostly worked with imported chocolate and powders (the powders can die in a fire)... so this may be good, this may be ****. But I'll drink it. b^^
