12 Hours Left for Dark Mild help!

[porterguy]

Trying to make a session-low (like 3%-4%) ABV Dark Mild. Working with the grains I have on hand. Have tomorrow off and starting to brew in early morning. Any comments/help on the following recipe would be greatly appreciated.

7 lbs. Mild Malt
1.5 lbs. Engllish crystal
.75 lbs. Special B
.75 lbs. Debittered Belgian chocolate

Nottingham (or I can pickup Wyeast 1968 later in the day)

Ease Kent Goldings 1.5 oz. (5%) FWH

Mash at 158
BIAB

Never made a dark mild but that seems a bit heavy on dark malts. I will defer to more knowledgeable brewers but I think I would cut the dark grains each in half and up the mild malt to compensate.

Yeah, I feel like this is a session porter, not a dark mild, and a pretty funky one. I would keep the crystal at or preferably under a lb., and do four ounces of chocolate OR special B, or four ounces of a combination of the two.

I would cut the English crystal in half and only 2 ounces of the spec B and the chocolate And I would leave the base malt the same this would be a 1.048 beer more or less on my rig and would be just under 5 % You will like your hop as A FWH it is mild that way, and smooth!
