I know they are expensive but I use them and like what they deliver.

What are your thoughts on 8oz of nibs? I've read several posts on other threads where other brewers have used around 4oz and haven't gotten a lot of chocolate from them. So I figured I'd go with the 8. I plan on letting this brew age for months, so I've even considered adding 4oz at the start of secondary and then adding the other 4oz a month or so before kegging. Any thoughts?
