Pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel on the surface of the wort at or above the fermentation temperature. Ingredients: Yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae), emulsifier E491 Ideal for American beer types and highly hopped beers. Forms a firm foam head and presents a very good ability to stay in suspension during fermentation. Our cacao nibs go great with darker beers like porters and stouts, but could blend with any beer - perhaps a wit or a saison! Temporarily out of stockĪmerican ale brewer’s yeast producing neutral and well-balanced ales, clean and crispy. ( Stone Brewing Company made a stout using cacao nibs in the boil to actually replace some of the hops in the recipe!) Any addition of the nibs pre-boil will impart some bitterness, so use a lot less than you would when adding them to a keg.

He has had great success with leaving the nibs inside the keg for as long as 8 months! They can also be used in the boil or mash - wherever you would like to experiment with them. All it means is simply adding the nibs to your secondary fermenter or keg for a couple of weeks (4 ounces per 5 gallons is a great place to start), allowing the beer to draw out the subtle flavors and aromas of the cacao nibs. Our Beer Geek began to use these nibs like you would a dry hop, but in a process coined - just to sound official - called 'Dry Nibbing'.

While not technically chocolate themselves, our nibs do have a wonderful coco smell to them, and will provide a very subdued coco-like flavor to any beer. It is these seeds that are the key ingredient in chocolate. Cacao nibs are crushed seeds from the Cacao plant.
