SWMBO had found me an extract brown ale recipe from online way back many moons ago. It was one of the best beers I've made so far. In it was (my page got wet where the volumes/amounts are) what looks like 12 oz of pale chocolate. The LHBS doesn't carry pale chocolate and they don't know what they gave me. It also had what looks like 10 oz crystal 60 and 6 oz crystal 120, and I added a little light brown sugar.
I've used pale chocolate in another attempt, but it turned out roasty and more porter like. All of them have.
How much pale (or dark for that matter) chocolate can you use and get a nice chocolatey taste without it becoming roasty?
I'm planning on using baker's chocolate in another attempt, and was told to use 3-4 oz for 5 gals. I don't trust this guy's advice as he's given me bad advice before. Does that sound good?
I intend on adding some pale chocolate to it as well as I'll be buying a pound of it milled for my mild brown ale that calls for 1/4 lb. How much would I want to add to it that won't bring out a roasty taste?
