Notes
General
The freeze dried cherry's were crushed into a fine powder as were the cocoa nibs these were placed in the same container.
Mash
Total Water Needed : 18.31L
Mash Water : 14L
Sparge Water : 6.5L
Added an extra 1L at the start of the mash as it was very dry.
This really needs to have more oat husk next time as the mash became quite stuck.
Boil
The cherry's, Lactose and cocoa powder were added in the last five minutes.
The crushed cherry's had clumped together and may have sunk to the bottom. It would make sense next time to add them into the hop spider or take some of the hot wort out next time to dissolve them before adding into the kettle.
