I was hoping for some advice on a recipe I was planning on trying for a mint chocolate stout. My hope is to get a rich chocolate stout with a hint of miint, not too much mint flavor, just something to make things crisp. My concern is that I won't have enough chocolate in it. So here is what I have so far
7 lbs light Liquid Malt Extract
1/2 lbs Dry Malt Extract
1 lbs Chocolate malt
1 lbs Crystal 120
1/2 lbs Rolled oats
1 cup cocoa powder
2 oz Cascade hops for 60 minutes
Wyeast Irish Ale 1084
So my plan was to make the above. For the last five minutes of the boil I was planning on adding 1 cup of Ghiradeli's unsweetened cocoa powder. I was also going to add 2oz of mint to secondary.
Am I going to have enough chocolate flavor? mint flavor? A good stout? Thanks for the help and input, you guys rock!
