Went a bit crazy with chocolate. To enter chocolate as fermentables I had to add it as a pound but it was really 14 oz. so that’s described in the “other” section. I’ve made this recipe many times before without the chocolate and it’s a great stout. Steps are out of order but the green arrows aren’t working for me.

Notes:

This beer is amazing. My neighbor and brewing friend both agree. Will make it again but might up the tabasco peppers by 2-3 more.
