Hello everyone
So the other day I ordered ingredients from Austin Homebrew to brew Douglas-O'Rourkes Quaffable Irish Red, which looks very tasty.

But as I was picking out the specialty grains I accidentally selected to add 1 lb 2 oz of Chocolate malt into the grain bill, rather than the 2 oz called for... The only other grains I have on hand are Carapils and some US and Belgian 2 row. The closest LHBS is about 40 min away.
So what do? I need the special roast and biscuit for the recipe. I can probably remove a good amount of the chocolate malt from the other grains, but there is a lot of black dust in the bag from the Chocolate malt which I think may really mess up the color/flavor especially if there is no way to accurately measure it. What do you think?
