I am going with no, but after my little Rye debacle I am wondering if a handful every batch wouldn't hurt.
Matt's Dry American Stout (Should be Irish, but every ingredient is American so...)
10gal batch
15lbs American 2-Row
2lbs Chocolate
.5lbs Crystal 90
.5lbs Crystal 60
5oz Black Patent
2 oz Fuggles (60min)
2 oz Mt. Hood (30 min) (I don't have anything else, though could run to the store later today for the brewday tomorrow)
Nottingham Yeast
I am confident that this will turn out tasting like beer, but I have to admit that it is a little low in OG and I might make that run to the LHBS to get another 5lbs of 2-Row and some more hops. I really am looking for about 40+ IBU's and right now it is sitting at just over 30. My Orfy's Mild Brown which I love has about 25 and after a month it lacks a little bit of bittering, and I want this stout to still have that after a month. Maybe I will go with all Fuggles and really work them at 3oz for 60min and 1 oz for 45min to get just shy of 40IBU.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
