In, perfect timing for the fall

Here is the modified 10 gallon recipe that I wil be brewing on Saturday, 10 gallons batch size: 2 liter stater White Labs 004 Irish Ale Yeast Mash at 152°/60 min 14 lbs American - Pale 2-Row 1.75 lbs American - Chocolate 2.25 lbs Flaked Oats 1.5 lbs American - Caramel / Crystal 60L 1 lb...

Well I decided to go big or go home and make a ten gallon batch so I adjusted my recipe but a few quick questions, is 12oz of coco powder enough? I plan on adding a little coco nibs in the secondaries. And should I add a little coco powder during the mash?

I can't really add any advice except for the milk sugar, been doing a lot of research into it and I like the idea of adding it to the last 15 min of the boil. Here is an article about a Milk stout but towards the end they talk about milk sugar...

I was thinking of adding Carafa II, but the idea of Carafa III characteristics makes me want to add .5 lb just to see what it can bring to the mix. KeninMN, Thanks for the link to the recipe and your insight!

I was going to add a slurry of warm water and 9 oz of cocoa powder at 15 mins, then still debating on using any coco nibs in the secondaries mainly for aroma. Thanks for the feedback :mug:

I am planing out a new brew for the end of the month and would like some feedback on what I have so far. I will end up splitting it when I put it in the secondary, One will have raspberries added to it and the other will have either coffee or espresso. Thanks in advance for the feedback! 7.5...

Thanks for the help guys, this site is fantastic for people willing to help out a newbie. Figuring out the boil off should not be a problem just a good excuse to brew more to dial everything in, is there a place I an get a custom made false bottom made if I buy one for a mlt? The dimensions are...

Given the issue with more boil off, would you buy a 60 quart stainless steel pot with the sandwiched bottom for $48? I am also debating buying a second one to convert to a mlt

If the rate is substainal could I just adjust the sparge water to obtain more volume? Also if the shoe was on the other foot would you pass up buying one of two for the price?

The pot that was posted is not the one I ended up getting, it is still a 60 quart pot, but it is stainless steel with a sandwiched bottom (bonus) but the pot is really wide compared to tall I am concerned if that will have any negative side effects

Thanks, I was looking for a used keg but, the price is way to good to pass up. For under $100 I should have it setup with a 3 piece vavle and sight glass. Can't wait to do 10 gallon batches :drunk:

I was wondering if anyone have any experience with this pot, for the size the price is right http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/for/3533803098.html It seems like the same seller has them on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Johnson-Rose-60-Quart-Stock-Pot-/281048966983?pt=Cookware&hash=item416fd2e747
