Hey everyone,
So I am putting together a recipe for a breakfast stout. I wanted to
incorporate some smoked malt in order to bring out some bacon flavor. Just
wanted your guys' input on the rough draft of the recipe. There is a lot
going on, and feel free to tell me if it's too much. I wanted to add maple
syrup as well...but I thought it would REALLY be too much after that.
I don't want so much smoked flavor that it overpowers and needs months to
settle out, but I also don't want it hidden behind the other potent flavors.
I know, it's a delicate balance...I may drop one of the smoked malts, but that depends on everyone's suggestions
05lb 00oz Maris Otter (35%) (actually thinking golden promise, but beersmith
doesn't have it, so this is an equal substitution)
03lb 08oz Pale Malt (24%)
01lb 08oz Smoked Malt (14%) (Total base malt- ~73%)
02lb 00oz Flaked Oat (Toasted, 10.5%)
01lb 00oz Chocolate Rye Malt (7%)
00lb 12oz Crystal 120 (5%)
00lb 08oz Roasted Barley (500 SRM) (3.5%)
00lb 02oz Peat smoked malt (1%)
1.25oz Columbus 60min (57 IBU)
1.00oz Centennial 15min (16 IBU)
00lb 08oz Coffee (secondary)
WLP002 English Ale (maybe WLP001 instead?)
Probably mash around 155-156
Estimated OG- 1.071
Estimated FG- 1.016
IBU- 73.5
SRM- 38.5
ABV- 7.3%
All advice is of course welcome. And if you think I should REALLY add the
maple syrup, let me know what you think I should drop. Looking forward to
your ideas/critiques.
Thank you for your time.
