Hi All,
Not sure if I will actually try this yet, but my next kit I'm going to put on is a stout. I've had the Young's double chocolate stout before and really liked it, I just wondered if anyone had any idea if you could give a similar sort of taste to a stout kit? I know brewers can use chocolate malt which I assume would give quite a chocolatey taste, but I assume these are the type of ingredients that are used when brewing from scratch, not from kit. I thought maybe you could just shove some cocoa powder in, but wouldn't have a clue how much or if this would actually give the required taste.
Cheers!
