Howdy, Extract Brewers!
I passed along a Irish Stout recipe to my brother, and extract/partial grain brewer who reports that this recipe failed:
6 lb. Amber DME
1 lb dark roasted barley
1/2 lb flaked barley
Yeast + Hops (kent golding)
In his words: "My stout from the recipe you gave me over the phone is okay but not very dark? It has some barley flavor but not overwhelming. It is a decent drink just not what I would call a stout."
I've brewed this recipe many times with good results ( I usually would add about 2 lb of flakey barley, but he can't convert his grains), but as I do all-grain, I'm at a loss over where I led him astray. Any thoughts?
