Notes
The drinking chocolate bumped up the starting gravity, to around 1056 - it also caused a bit of excitement in the boiler when added. I also used close to a 1.5L starter with this one, and i had airlock activity in 11-12 hrs. I tasted the wort after i added the chocolate, it might be a little too chocolaty, i didn't intend to add the whole pack, but it ended up that way.
