Cholaca Unsweetened Pure Liquid Cacao 32 oz. is a delicious beer making additive

BEER MAKING

Unsweetened Pure Liquid Cacao is made from just cacao and water. Because it is a liquid, it is not limited to being added during the boil. You do have the option to add it during primary if there are unique results that you want to attain. That said, it is advantageous to add during secondary and/or bottling because you do not lose aromatics during the boil and you can meter it to your liking by incrementally adding it to your beer. 

DOSAGE

Add 18-32 oz. of Cholaca® per 5 gallons during secondary fermentation. Best practice is to add incrementally until you reach your desired flavor. Gently stir.

LIQUOR MAKING

This can added to neutral liquors to add chocolate flavoring. 

OTHER USES

It can be used in other beverages like smoothies, soft drinks and teas. It can also be used in baking, cooking and enjoyed on its own as a natural mood enhancer.

 If you are using Cholaca Unsweetened Pure Liquid Cacao you probably are fermenting some beer. Here's a link to our fermenter equipment.

Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often or even using as single use items is highly recommended with beer making. Especially if you are using Cholaca Unsweetened Pure Liquid Cacao you want to avoid residual flavors.

SiphonsSiphons

Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your brew equipment. Once you have one you will never go without one again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San.

Pouring your wort into a carboy can be tricky. Use a big funnel made just for the job. They even have different mesh screens to remove particles.   

AirlocksAirlocks

Airlocks are another inexpensive product that should be periodically replaced. Though it might be easy to assume bacteria is not a concern with airlocks because they do not actually touch your beer, this is not the case. A small increase in temperature could cause your beer to swell and back up into the airlock. It happens often. You don't want to risk losing your batch over a potentially unsanitary and cheap piece of plastic.

Making a yeast starter is a great way to avoid stuck fermentation and also get high yeast counts that allow the final cells to clean up after themselves, reducing off flavors and aromas. Starting with high populations makes better beer. Use the right equipment to make the job easy. Flask, Foam Stopper, and Airlock.
