This is what I was supposed to get for a recipe that I was going to try.

12 lb****** (5.44 kg) British Pale Malt 3L
1 lb ******* (0.45 kg) Crystal 40L
1 lb******** (0.45 kg) Munich Malt 8L
8 oz ** (0.22 kg) Victory Malt 25L
8 oz *** (0.22 kg) Crystal 120L
4 oz *** (0.11 kg) Pale Chocolate Malt 200L

This is what I ordered on accident:


12 lb (5.44 kg) British Pale Malt 3L
1 lb (0.45 kg) Crystal 40L
1 lb (0.45 kg) Munich Malt 8L
8 oz (0.22 kg) Victory Malt 25L
8 oz (0.22 kg) Crystal 120L
4 lb (0.11 kg) Pale Chocolate Malt 200L

The grains are crushed and mixed into one bag. Is there anything that I can do with this other than feed farm animals? I already smacked my Wyeast so I guess I'm headed to the LHBS to pick up some grains. I ordered online to avoid the drive.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

dry stout comes to mind. doesnt fit the profile really well, but its about as close as youre gonna get to usable. i think you should use that grain bill and ferment with wyeast 1056 at room temp, give it a good 21 days to attenuate, and see what you get. you might be surprised at the results. itll definitely be very high gravity, so youre abv is gonna be off the charts. i think thatll make a halfway decent stout.

4lb of chocolate instead of 4oz??

Too bad the vendor you ordered from didn't question that. I think I would have but maybe the guy filling the order doesn't brew.

I made a Porter and used 12oz of Chocolate and it overpowered the beer. I really like the roasted flavor chocolate malt adds and thought 12oz would be better than 8oz but was too much for me.

4 pounds... wow. Not really sure what to expect if you brew that up. Maybe coffee?

Not sure that can really be salvaged, the % of Chocolate malt in there is hanus. Wont hurt to brew it up though, better than simply tossing it.

You could probably get (2) 5 gallon batches out of it, a nice low ABV stoutish sort of brew.

+1 on blending. I keg and would pour 1/2 glass of the porter I spoke of with a half glass of anything else on tap, an American Amber, EdWorts Haus Pale, and a Irish Red. It worked for me

Where did you get it from? I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't question the order?

I don't know the standard practice out there but I always ask for my grains to be kept separate (I'm always changing my mind on what I'm brewing next)

4 lb of pale chocolate malt vs 4 oz.

Since you've already bought it... go ahead and brew it, see what it tastes like after a lot of aging (Like 6 months or more).
