Unfortunately I don't have the room to properly brew a beer from scratch so I'm stuck with kits for now (I will find a way!).
I want to play around with additives and I'm thinking of making a chocolate stout. Some info I've found suggests a good quality coco powder rather than real chocolate as this doesn't have the fats that ruin the beers head.
I've also found out that some brewers add the chocolate at the fermentation stage, which of course, with kit is all you have.
Any ideas on quantity?
While I want a chocolaty taste I don't want to overpower the stout
