Can you let us know how this went as my mate tried adding some cocoa to a brew and it just ended up tasting powdery and bitter.

I'm always on the lookout for a supplier of chocolate essence for that kind of brew, Young's Double Chocolate Stout is beautiful stuff!

I have found a guy on Ebay selling Chocolate essence, Looking at brewing sometime in the next 2 weeks so will let you know :pray:

Have you had chance to give this a go yet MD?

Would you add the Chocolate essence at bottling stage ?
