Notes

Coffee:
Use fresh ground Sumatra coffee. The flavor profile of this bean is ideal for this recipe.

Fermentation instructions:
Ferment at 68F until within 2-3 points of FG.
Raise temp to 70F and add coffee for two days.
Rerack to secondary, careful to filter as much coffee out of the transfer as possible. Add 4.0oz of cacoa nibs. Reduce temperature back to 60F for 5 days.
Rerack off of cacoa nibs and cold crash/condition at 34-36F for at least four weeks before carbonating.
