is the .25 lb black patent enough to keep it from being too mellow? I wouldn't want it too roasty either
for 5 gallons post boil:
9.5 lbs US 2 row or pale ale malt
1 lb crystal 80l malt
.75 lb chocolate malt
.25 lb black patent malt
.5 lb carapils
.5 lb table sugar (to knock up the gravity a little bit more)
1 oz Northern Brewer [8.5%] - 60 min
mash at 155
London Ale III
OG: 1.064 (70% efficiency assumed)
Target FG: 1.015
IBUs: 31.6
and I was thinking about adding an ounce of heavy toast American oak chips. good/bad idea?
