So a mix-up in entering a half-batch of a Rye Stout Recipe into the BMW recipe generator (switched the rye and caramunich!) has netted me a mixed bag of specialty grains with a whole lotta caramel. I thought about making a really sweet stout, but decided against that. Here I've scaled up the recipe to 4 gal, and added some base malt and rye to keep that character. The only styles I think that much caramel are ok in are hopped up ambers or scotch ales. Would the former be ok with a little chocolate and roast character?
OG: 1.063
IBU: 55 (Chinook and cascade with decent additions at 60, 10, and 0)
58% Briess - 2 Row Brewers Malt 5.000 lb 2.0 srm
15% Caramunich Malt 1.250 lb 56.0 srm
4% Chocolate Malt (UK) 6.000 oz 450.0 srm
18% Rye Malt 1.500 lb 5.0 srm
1% Aromatic Malt 1.000 oz 26.0 srm
1% Honey Malt 2.000 oz 25.0 srm
3% Briess - Roasted Barley 4.000 oz 300.0 srm
I can reduce base malt and rye, or add more chocolate, caramel (10, 40, 85, Special B), wheat, toasted/amber/brown malt, or roasted barley.
