Research online suggests adding lactose in the last 15 mins and the cocoa nibs in the last 10mins…is that about right?
Depending how much ‘coffee’ flavour I get from the malt I was thinking about adding some coffee after primary fermentation (don’t want to go overboard).
Recipe below is for 21 litres in the fermentor. Any suggestions?
