I love a good wee heavy, and I want to get rid of a left over specialty grains that I have laying around. I've kind of dumped a little bit of everything in this. Keep in mind that this is a 3.5 gallon recipe. My main question: will this be too much grain for a 3.5 gallon batch? Also, should I think about adding anything? I am thinking about aging this on some oak cubes... good idea or no?
