I would possibly add slightly more mint to the beer. However, there is a fine line. At the original recipe it contained a hint in the background of a very respectable chocolate stout. If there was a little more mint I might be happier. However, the hint at the end is certainly better than over-doing it. You could add it at .75oz or even bump to 1 oz. More than that would be risky-bidness.
WOOOHOOO Nice man. You'll be in for a beer that you've probably never tasted before. They key is that it's a good choc stout recipe. How much mint you put on top of that is up to you. I'd advise not to go too overboard though because the character of this beer will age and mellow and really round out. If you brew this now it'll be drinkable like any other beer in a month or so but it'll still be going strong for next X-mas for beer gifts.
got everything today... maybe tomorrow or sunday is a brew day :-)
question;
I have not made a stout before, i know the Cara-Pils, Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L, and the Chocolate Malt are for steeping....
is the flaked barley and roasted barley also steeping grains, or do they go in the mash?
ty in advance,
