CACAO NIBS 100gm

Cacao Nibs - 100gm

• Cacao Nibs (also referred to as Cocoa Nibs) are unprocessed chocolate which have a wonderful cocoa smell to them, and will provide a very subdued cocoa-like flavour to any beer.
• You can use these Cacao Nibs like you would a dry hop, by adding them to your secondary fermenter or keg (100 gm to 200 gm per 23 Litre batch is a great place to start).
• If you want to get the most out of your Cacao Nibs a good idea is to cover them in a small amount of vodka for a day or two before you add them. The vodka helps to bring out the flavour of the Cacao and also acts as a sanitiser. Cacao Nibs give all the flavours of chocolate but without the powdery residue of Cocoa.
• Cacao Nibs can also be used in the boil or mash - wherever you would like to experiment. Adding the nibs pre-boil will impart some bitterness, so use a lot less than you would when adding them to a fermenter or keg.
