Grandmaster Brewer
Our HBC is going to have a chocolate-flavored/inspired beer competition in a couple months, and I've been thinking hard about making a rather unexpected chocolate beer. Seems most if not every chocolate beer I've ever had is dark, dark, dark, and I'm trying to stay away from that.
I've not brewed with chocolate or cacao nibs before, so assuming the use of nibs in secondary, what sort of color contribution would be expected if used in an otherwise light-colored beer? Or, if there is some other technique or ingredient that will help achieve this, I'm open to interesting ideas.
