I made a sweet stout that is cooling down and about ready to pitch. I had about 3.5 gal of wort and it was a very very dark brown, almost black, but not quite black. i imagine once i add water it will be even less dark. will it get darker with time or is there something i can do to darken it up? here is the recipe
steep grains at about 160 for 50 mins
1/4 lb roasted barley
1/2 lbs 60L crystal malt
3/4 lb chocolate malt
1/4 lb black patent(changed to something else i dont remember. the man at the lhbs suggested it as a substitute bc it was less bitter)
9 lbs light lme
1 oz kent golding bittering
1 oz kent goldings flavor
I want an opaque black.
