Remove the chocolate. Also, the hop additions were basically calculated to get rid of the Hallertauer, Tettnanger, and Saaz pellets I had. It may be a bit too much for the beer, but hopefully not. Mash very thick with 168F water, to 146F for 30 mins. Add 3/4 gal 210F water to raise mash temp to 156F for 20 mins. Add another 3/4 gal at 210F to mash out for 10 mins.
