Notes:

Got ingredients at Siciliano’s.
The brew store ground the coffee beans. I added them with the oats and grains to steep in my big steeping bag.
Some particulates escaped from the bag and settled on the bottom and burned a bit.
Filled pot to about 1 cm below rivets.
Added chocolate in a metal strainer until it melted.
Did not use secondary fermenter this time.
Kegged directly from primary on 2023-01-28.
After several weeks, this one tasted good but a little boring really. It didn’t pour with any head for many weeks and even then very little. It seemed like it took a while to carbonate. It did not taste bad at all, just wasn’t really flavorful.
