Awhile back I made a chocolate-coffee stout that was (is) delicious. In it, I used 16 ounces of roasted barley. It turned out roasty, but with the coffee, it could have stood to be roastier. Anyway, take a look at my original recipe below and tell me what you think would be the max amount of roasted barley I could add before it got, um, out of hand...
Of course, this was way back when I was still doing all extract batches. The new one will probably be partial-mash (or AG if I feel up to it):
