Chocolate Orange Imperial Stout

[Digby]

Would be great to get a source of cocoa husks other than buying mulch. Any info would be appreciated.

I've found some on ebay that look promising: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cocoa-Husk-BB ... SwWTRWu18D

Although it says they're for smokers, it does claim to be 100% natural cocoa husk.

Ideally though I'd like to find some that I know for certain are safe for putting in food. I've seen a lot of stuff about cocoa husk tea becoming popular, but can't find anything about where these people are getting the husks to make their tea with.

I have seen some brewers use orange peel powder also. Not sure exactly when it would be added though.

I fancy trying something similar, anyone have any suggestions on when to add the orange ?

You can get the cacao shells from chocolatiers.

I've brewed the base Russian Imperial stout and just added the cacao shells and zest, I'll know next week how they taste The shells and zest combined though
before I added it, smelt amazing.
