I plan on brewing my first stout in the next few days (I've done maybe 8-9 other extract w/steeping grains). I am planning on a Oatmeal Licorice Stout, as for style of stout imp, sweet, or dry, I dont know. I would like moderate ABV but probably not imp levels, maybe 6-7ish and a black color.
Here is a recipe I just drew up in beersmith, let me know what i should change to it, I just made this up based on nothing right now, I would like a prominent Licorice flavor, hence the 3/4 stick.
8.5lbs Amber LME (I would do dark but I don't think my LBS has that in bulk)
1.25 lbs oats
.75 lb crystal 120L
.4lbs black patent malt
.4lbs roasted barley
4oz N. Brewer for bittering (60 min)
1.5oz Cascade for flavor (10-15 min)
.5 cascade for aroma (1-5 min)
3/4 stick brewers licorice (60 min boil????)
.25 tsp irish moss (5 min)
I really need all the advice I can get on this. Since its a lower alc % i shouldn't have to worry about the yeast not carbonating after bottling right? (Also I have a freak accident of 10% ABV IPA in secondary right now should I be concerned for this batches carbonation). How long will this need to condition, because of the licorice and the roasted barley quite awhile right?
I'd love to get to the brew shop today to get supplies, thanks for the advice.
