Notes

Don't dump the nibs into the kettle - use hop bag.

Could substitute a slightly larger amount of pale chocolate malt for the standard chocolate; about a quarter to half pound more.

Brewer's Friend recommends 3.49 gallons of water for sparge, but kettle volume was a bit low. Next time use at least 4 gallons.
