Hi,
I'm thinking about brewing an oatmeal stout or a simple dry stout, but I'm wondering if there is a substitute for roasted barley.
I can't find roasted barley for sale here, and I read somewhere that in the early days guinness was made of just pale malt and chocolate malt (no roasted barley).
I can find raw barley, but I'm not sure it is adequated for brewing purposes. Moreover, I'm afraid that roasting it at home will make my neighbours think that the house is on fire
Would it be ok to use just chocolate malt for a stout? I know it is not right to the style, but I can live with it as long as it tastes good
