My neighbor wants to brew a Peanut-Butter Stout this weekend. Here is the grain bill for a 5.25 gallon batch:
11 lbs 11.8 oz Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 75.7 %
1 lbs 6.3 oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 9.0 %
16.0 oz Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 6.4 %
8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 3.2 %
7.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 2.8 %
7.0 oz Roasted Barley (300.0 SRM) Grain 2.8 %
I am planning on adding the dark grains the last 15 minutes in the mash, since I don't have a way to monitor the pH. Based on the above grain bill, I am planning on doing this with the Chocolate Malt, C/C 120 and Roasted Barley.
Any other grains I should do this with?
Should I have them ground that same as the 2-row and Cara-Pils? Or finer?
Any other suggestions about brewing a stout are welcomed since this is my first. Thanks!
