Ok, our recipe is:
8lbs. light malt extract
1 1/2 lbs chocolate malt
1 lb dark roasted malt
1 lb oats
stumptown espresso (quantitiy???)
Burton yeast (already did yeast starter)
2 lbs northern brewer hops- bittering
1lb perle- flavoring
1lb perle- aroma
Now, we are confused about a few things:
1.)when should we add the espresso? (we heard the best time is when you bottle)
2.) how much espresso should we use for 5 gallons? we want a medium espresso flavor. ( we were thinking about 15 ounces of espresso.)
3.) How and when do we steep the oats? With the other grains? How long?
4.)Would .5 to 1 lb of chocolate powder go with this stout?
5.) I was thinking it would be better to use the perle for the bittering hops, and the nothern brewer hops for flavor and aroma. Is that better?
It's a lot, but any other general thoughts about this recipe would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!!
