So here is my situation. When I gave my grain list for a recipe to my LHBS clerk he accidently put in a whole pound of chocolate malt mixed in with 9# 2-row, 1.0# Crystal 80, and 4 oz Biscuit. The recipe called only called for 2 oz of chocolate, and since it was all milled in together, there was no going back.
I got my recipe re made correctly, and told him I'd take the 9# 2-row, 1# crystal 80, 1# chocolate, and 4 oz biscuit for half the price. I know I could get a decent brown ale from this, but I think that is way too much chocolate malt for one. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to balance it or maybe just an idea of what I can do with this bag of grain? Like I said its all mixed together pretty well, so picking it out isn't an option. I should mention that my MLT is only a 5-gallon, so 10 g batches aren't really possible. TIA!
