Mashing comments
During and following mashout, and prior to transferring to the boil kettle,
remove a gallon at a time of the first runnings to a pot. Boil until
caramellized and return to the mash tun. Continue until 1/4 to 3/8 of
the final volume has been caramellized. (Five gallons in the 20
gallon case). Throw the first wort Perle into the boil kettle prior
to beginning the sparge.

opportunity to rack before then...)
Fermentation comments
Batch will require rousing. Transfer to secondary will normally be
sufficient, but an occasional swirl after transfer will do no harm.
Transfer to secondary is HIGHLY recommended due to the incredible
amount of sediment from the chocolate powder dropping out of
suspension after the most vigorous fermentation has subsided. (Wait
until the kraeusen falls before racking.)
Sub 8.5 # LME, 7.5 DME for pale malt for extract/specialty grain
based (5 gallons). Scale everything else down accordingly. IBUs
should scale fairly linearly.
All sharing in the wort have raved!
Have at it, my friends! And may your ruin be beered! ;-)
See ya!
