Good evening everyone.
I have only ever done 1 stout before (normally do ipa's), and it was a Russian Imperial Stout. I used black lme, or dark of some kind. I have all specialty malts to make the same recipe, however I only have extra light lme. Is this ok? I don't care about the color as long as it tastes somewhat similar.

Thoughts?
 
Black DME
Maltoferm® A-6001 is a dry malt extract made from 100% Briess black malt and water, making it a perfect colorant for beer.

Black Malt
Color adjustment for all beer styles. Use with other roasted malts for mild flavored dark beers.


The light LME can be used as a base, but you'll need to add stuff to it. Yes you should be able to use it. Post your recipe
 
Here is what I was thinking of doing.
8 lb Extra Light DME
8 oz crystal 60
8 oz roasted barley
8 oz chocolate malt

1 oz 40 min boil of bittering hops (forgot what I have in my fridge for hops)
.5 last 20 min for aroma.

I was thinking of adding 4 oz of maltodextrin.

I am open to suggestions to make it a very malty flavor. I have other varieties of crystal and I think I have some brown malt too.
