I have a flavor package from a wine that I didn’t use. It is chocolate. How could I incorporate this into a beer? What style when to add and those kind of things? Any ideas appreciatedcheerstevo

Add it to the secondary of a porter or a stout. Kind of a no-brainer, really.

How would you sanitize it before addition into secondary?

Should already be sterile?

Dip the bag in sanitizer, cut it with sanitized scissors, dump straight into secondary. Likely sterile inside anyway but if not, hopefully the alcohol content of the fermented beer will help.

I once added 12 oz. of chocolate syrup at flameout for a stout. It made the beer dryer but also gave it a nice milk chocolate aroma.

Totally thought the thread title said Chocolate Syrup to Wheat Beer.

So I’m gonna say Wheat Beer.

Don’t over-think this stuff. Just dump it in.

And I agree with the porter or a stout recommendation.
