Notes
12/21/2020 - Brewed a quick batch before the IBU Christmas party. Chilled to 74 degrees and pitched yeast.
1/5/2021 - Soaked 4oz cocoa nibs in 8 oz or so of Philips vodka I had sitting around. Plan to add the beans and the liquor to the fermenter after a few days.
1/9/2021 - Added soaked cocoa nibs along with vodka to the fermenter.
1/17/2021 - Planned on kegging, but when I sampled the beer, the chocolate wasn't coming through as much as I would have liked, so I'm going to leave it for another 5 days or so and keg before we leave for vacation.
1/19/2021 - Decided to add a vanilla bean and transfer this beer to secondary. I was thinking more about the chocolate flavor not coming through as much as I wanted, so I thought a vanilla bean would be a good addition. I only have one vanilla bean left, so I'll need to put in another order in the near future.
2/1/2021 - Kegged - FG=1.020 - Balanced flavor between the chocolate and vanilla in this batch. I decided to put it on tap right away and pull the keg of PB porter that was almost gone.
