After looking on BJCP and Designing Great Beers, I threw this together:
12 lbs Briess Brewers Malt
12 oz Black Barley 500L
12 oz Carafa III special(still on the fence on whether or not I want dehusked or normal. Maybe dehusked would be good to impart a dark chocolate flavor with the dry roasted coffee of the black barley)
12 oz Flaked Barley
1.5 oz Magnum(no idea on AA atm, shooting for 60IBU so I may adjust)
5.5 gal Final
1.070-1.018 ~ 6.9%
US-05 yeast
No mash calcs yet, will likely just shoot for 152 or so(Tastybrew calcs are my go to guys). Use moderately mineral enriched MI spring water to get a fairly low mash pH for a bit of acidity? I still havent taken a lab sample of that water though, but i know that my tap water is hard as hell and I may never want to use it. I do not enjoy drinking it, so I'd rather not have it in my beer.
