I was thinking of adding to the sugar mix and boiling it up and adding to the contents of the kit.alanywiseman said:Kinleycat said:Could i add something like this for a chocolatey flavour?

yes you can but I would do it after fermentation just before bottling and add to taste :thumb:

Would this not be a good idea?

Do you mean boil up the sugar, chocolate extract and water then add kit?
The reason I would add at the end of fermentation is that you can add it to taste rather than guessing. Plus if you do as I think you are suggesting you will lose a lot of the chocolate aroma when boiling it.
SloeBrewer said:That sounds quite low, did you give it a really good stir? By the time I'd added the yeast, mine had several inches of froth, due to my vigorous stirring and aeration, and I had a gravity of 1.060, with 1kg of extra dark DME and some treacle.
Hydrometer reading is the right way to go, I think you'll probably find that fermentation has just about finished.phatpete said:Bought a hydrometer so will check it tomorrow, its been in the bucket a week tho. Reckon its a write off.
