Yeah, you definitely have to use more than you would if you had added it to the boil. Surprisingly, though, the flavor and aroma are fantastic. Not that the boil and primary won’t diminish the character somewhat, but their effect on the finished product is vastly exaggerated.

I’ve added coffee and cocoa to the mash as well.
