How would you infuse chocolate into a beer?

Or a French Press


Use Cocoa Nibs

 

or buy this



Don't start dissolving shit in your beer.

 

I'm a little confused. Are you a home brewer who is asking how to infuse chocolate into your beer, or are you talking about just adding chocolate to an already bottled stout (or whatever) that you bought from a store?

 

Wouldn't the oil and fats in the chocolate would cause all sorts of problems, head retention being the least of them?

Edit, sorry I misread your post. I thought you were brewing the beer.

 

I just go with a heaping spoon of Ovaltine in my stouts.

 

this works better

 

Yeah if you don't like vitamins and minerals....pfft.

 

I would do it like this:

 

The commentary and one liners from this video are amazing. "Looks like when you give Buffalo Trace to a girl scout and she throws up for the first time" Hilarious

 

Try french press with Cocoa Nibs? Not sure how it will turn out but it will probably be your best option. Give it a try, what do you have to loose aside from one beer if it is a disaster?

Here is a little reference... http://drinks.seriouseats.com/2013/...-infuse-beer-with-hops-spices-cocoa-nibs.html

 

The Bruery decided to make a peanut butter Black Tuesday variant for the last Initiation and apparently all they did was melt peanut butter to a liquid state and throw it in a cask of Black Tuesday. That shit turned out thick and oily to the point that I had to go into the bathroom and wash the glass with soap and water. I would recommend not doing a similar process with chocolate bars or whatnot.

 

If this doesn't work I'd go with a scoop of chocolate ice cream if it's a stout. Yum!

 

Why not just suck down a chocolate bar before you have a beer? And make sure some of it stays between your teeth for that lasting flavor.

Have you considered just adding a chocolate liqueur and calling it a "cocktail"?
