I got a MB kit for Christmas and have brewed 3 batches of MB extract beers with good results and wanted to move up. I ended up with the trial of BeerSmith2 and thought wow how easy.
After brewing, I did more research (I know I should have done that before) I realized that my recipe was not exactly traditional for a Dry Stout (that's what I was going for). I was just kind of making it up. So my questions are
1) Would this even be called a Stout?
2) Has anyone done something similar? (Dark LME + Dark grains + late hops)
3) How do you think it will turn out?
Here it is (keep in mind 2 1/4 gallon batch)...
3 1/3 # Dark LME
1/2 # Pale Malt 2 Row
1/4 # Roasted Barley
1/4 # Chocolate Malt
BIAB method from DeathBrewers post adjusted for size.
45 minute boil
1/2 oz Cascade 40min
1/2 oz Northern 10min
US-05 pitched @ 64F
OG - 1.060
I could just wait a couple months and drink it but that's part of the reason for this forum right, something to do while you drink home brew and wait
