It is pretty east to figure out how liquid pale malt is made, but what is in the dark extract?
In the past I have brewed a killer EXTRACT chocolate stout twice .. the base of the recipe was liquid dark malt extract purchased from my LHBS, it's the type you pour out of a huge plastic barrel. I have recently switched to all grain and I would like to convert my recipe to all grain, but I have no idea where to start for the grain bill.
for my extract recipe, I also steeped in some Carastan, Chocolate, Roasted Barley, and 2-Row. For an all grain version, I'm guessing the base grain to be largely made up of 2-row with maybe one pound of Chocolate, one pound of Carastan, and a touch of Roasted Barley? .... a long with my other ingredients, I just want to be sure I still get that dark black color.
Maybe this should be posted in recipes? I apologize.
