thought i would ask you veterans.... what do you think about this. i would love to start today!!!!!
well i got a free 4lb can of MOUNTMELLICK IRISH STOUT the other day and would like to experiment.this is what i was planning............ 1.) 4lb can malt extract (hopped)
2.) maybe 1/3 lb of choc. malt
3.) 1lb oatmeal
4.) 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
5.) 1 tbsp vanilla extract
6.) 1 packet of muntons gold dried yeast
7.) 5.5 ounces corn sugar (priming)
i was planning steep oatmeal and choc. malt at 150 degrees for about 45min.
bring to boil and remove both at 170 degrees. then add malt extract and boil for 20min. cool..... during this time i will rehydrate yeast. when time, add to primary and vigorously pour wort over yeast. week or so move to secondary. week or so move to bottling bucket adding cocoa powder and vanilla with priming solution. bottle for 2 weeks. QUESTION: this particular 4 lb can of malt only make 4.6 gallons. you think 5.5 ounces corn sugar is good? second question.... if i was to substitute the Corn Sugar for Brown Sugar. WOULD I USE THE SAME QUANITY? 5.5 OUNCES???? thank you for any help. God Bless
