Hi, I want to do a stout recipe for 3 gallons of extract. I have 4 1 gallon fermentors I will divide it into to experiment with adding coffee, etc. I am trying to use the 50# DME bag I bought along with challenger hops so I am really asking for advice on the other grains and percentages. I want to avoid using starters by doing 3 gallon batch and not going above 7%. I know the Special B is unusual, I wanted to add something other than caramel, and I read oats need to be mashed and I don't have those skills either. I also read that using more than 10% dark malts would make the PH off too much.
3 Gallon Batch
3.5 Gallon Boil
5 lbs Light DME 89%
4.5 oz Roasted Barley 4.5%
4.5 oz Chocolate 4.5%
6 oz Special B 2%
1.3 oz Challenger (5% AA) 60 minutes
.2 oz Challenger - 15 minutes
1 pack Windsor yeast
OG 1.072
FG 1.020
IBU 48
Thanks!
