Subject: using chocolate extract in a porter
|
Hi all,
I intend to use a chocolate extract in my next porter during the secondary
stage. I just ordered a 4 oz bottle. I am looking to get just a hint of
the chocolate flavor in this brew. Has anyone ever user chocolate extract ?
If so, how much did you use ?
Thanks,
Coroner

Coroner-
Unfortunately, I haven't sampled a beer using chocolate extract.
However, I have a clone recipe (from Zymurgy) for Rogue Chocolate
Stout that calls for 1.5 oz. chocolate extract in the secondary. I
did this and will be racking the batch to keg on 11/16, chilling, then
carbonating. I should be able to post what my 1st sampling is like by
this weekend. Hopefully that will be before you rack to secondary so
I can give you an idea of how much chocolate taste is there.
For what it's worth - my clone recipe called for 1.5 oz and I eyed out
1.5 oz out of a 2.0 oz bottle of organic chocolate extract. I'll let
you know...

Great, please do let me know how it comes out. Funny thing. I decided to
go wiith the choco extract because I emailed Rogue and asked them what they
used in their Stout. I love their choco stout !
The reply I received was.....
"It's an imported Dutch chocolate extract in the Chocolate Stout.
Cheers, Stacey"
Thanks,
Duke

So sorry for the late reply. I actually kegged this last Wed, then
carbonated on Friday PM and tasted on Sat. In my opinion, it could
use a >touch< more chocolate, but I've had two other beer 'snobs'
critique it and they said it was perfect - don't change anything.
In light of that, I'd recommend 1.5 oz of chocolate extract per 5.0
gallon batch.
Hope this helps. If you were in Boise Idaho I'd be glad to bring over
a growler and let you give it a go.
PS - if you get the hankerin', try out the zymurgy clone to the rogue
chocolate stout - I think it's one of my favorite homebrews. I
followed to a T and I think I'll be brewing a batch of this and giving
out bottles for x-mas gifts. For what it's worth.
Cheers...jeff

I prefer to be called a 'condescending brew guy'! :)

There is a Stout on my list for this month and I try it.

Follow up-
Sat. PM 8:00 MT USA - just finished this keg. 3 of us drank on it
last weekend during a poker party, I tapped off one gallon for a buddy
that I owed. I NEED to do another batch ASAP. I do believe this is
the fastest I've ever killed a homebrew keg (5.0 Gal) - just over one
week.
YUM!
