I should let people know that I made this recipe and that it won 2nd place at the Western MT state fair in the category of "Dark Beer". They didn't give out a first place for some reason, so maybe I can claim 1st. Anyways, it is amazing. It started out (for the first three months) a little off, but late this summer (about 6 months of aging) really came into being an awesome beer. It's sad that I only have about 6 beers left.
 
This looks awesome! I'd really like to try it, but lack the equipment/experience to do all grain just yet. What would I have to do to convert this to extract/partial mash? Suggestions?

Thanks
 
As far as partial mash goes, I usually have success substituting light extract for pale malt. you'd wanna use promash and make sure the OGs are the same and you're good to go. If you use a lot of extract, consider adding a pound of sugar to lighten up the extract body.
 
Id like to make this in a 5gal size. I have brew smith for the adjustments, except for the oak chips part of this. What do you folks think?
 
If anyone could easily post the 5 gallon AG recipe for this I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you're looking for 5g All Grain, you should be able to just halve the quantities. I personally would probably drop the black patent, in a smaller batch (but that's only due to my prejudice and past with using too much and my beer tasting like chalk).
