just safale 04 .25oz columbus hops 60mins .25 @ 30 mins how would this recipe taste compared to the one i already had? do you think it would taste caramelly enough?

thank you for your insight. i am mashing all of my grains. i am useing the program "brew target". i am trying to use as much crystal malt as possible to add as much caramel flavor as possible. i dont want to use real caramel. the dark extract is actually "dark malt extract"

straight glucose would be ideal.

so this is what i have now: crystal 20: 5lb special B: 3 lb crystal 120: 1 lb crystal 40: 1lb roasted barley: half a pound black malt: fourth of a pound chocolate malt: fourth of a pound

all of your suggestions are very helpful

what are your reasons for thiese suggestions?

yeah i am using brew target which is a simular program. im just concered that it it might be to strong sdo to the speciality grains, just wanted to get other people's opion on it.

i am attempting to make a sweet and salty carmel stout. i want the crystal flavor to come from crystal malts recipe: 3lb crystal 120 1lb roasted barly 6.5lb pale extract hopped with .4oz of columbus 60mins are my specialty grains to over powering? i do enjoy a strong stout, but...
