I'm in the process of designing a black Pilsener. Ideally My reasearch says Carafa III would be the way to go. What if you didn't have Carafa III. How much black or chocolate would you use with without going overboard?

Will 1% get the colour?
Glibbidy said:I don't have one of them fancy calculators. I put 1% choclate in my alt and that gives it a really deep brown.
Here's what I'm considering for the grain bill:
55% German Pilsener malt
39% Munich Malt
5% Crystal
.5% Black
.5% Chocolate
Maybe even up the chocolate to 1%. I'm doing at least a single decoction, and will consid a double decoction if time permits.
