dunno whether this belongs in the recipes forum or beginniners, but since i'm only on batch 6, i've come here...
so I made the run mill stout out of palmer's book, and i'm a little disappointed in the color. I really wanted something inky black. i know this doesn't necessarily mean anything, but I was looking for something really dark. also, I've been reading a bit about different stout recipes, and am a little confused. palmer's with equal parts roasted barley and crystal malt. jamil says crystal does not belong in a stout. randy mosher's base stout recipe doesn't even have roasted barley. I guess it's too late to darken it up now, but in the future I think i'd like less crystal and more chocolate and black patent. anyone with ideas/musings....
thanks,
c
