Adjuncts

Hi All,

I'm just about to start an all grain chocolate stout. Apart from the grains, the recipe has dark chocolate, lactose, rolled oats, cocoa powder and golden syrup. The directions call for all adjuncts to be added to the last 15 minutes of the boil.
Are all the items I just listed adjuncts?

Hi,

All except the rolled oats - they should be mashed with the rest of the grains. I'd double-check the need for boiling the chocolate for that long. From what I've read the oils can affect your head retention.

Cheers,

Tim

Just to be picky... as far as I am aware, the rolled oats are what is traditionally considered an adjunct. It is an unmalted grain, and a source of extra starch to make use of the malt's enzymes. The other items are also called adjuncts, but I can't say why except that they are not malt, hops or water. Your instructions were are a little ambiguous.
