Hello,
Working on a recipe here, and I wanted to get some second, third, and fourth opinions, if possible. I've got about a dozen brews under my belt, but not much experience making recipes.
It's a partial mash recipe, and I'm calling it a "Molasses double stout-porter". I'm looking for substantial body and mouthfeel, and plenty of molasses character, but still have malt complexity. The recipe here is adapted from a RIS stout recipe out of a book.
Grains:
5 lbs dark DME
2 lbs organic blackstrap molasses
1 lb Amber malt
1 lb flaked oats
12 oz crystal 80
8 oz choc malt
8 oz biscuit malt
8 oz 2 row (to help conversion)
4 oz black patent
4 oz roast barley
Hops:
17 AAU bittering
2 oz aroma/flavor with Saaz
Yeast:
Wyeast West Yorkshire (PC 1469)
OG should be ~1.087
Lots of specialty grains, I know. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
