I raced to the LHBS yesterday just in time to grab some ingredients like Supermarket Sweep before the place closed for the long Labor Day weekend. I need to make a stout this weekend. So I got home and noticed that my pound of roast barley is listed as 650L! I thought that roast barley was usually around 300L, and that much more than that was black patent territory. Did I just get hosed? I'd like to use a pound of roast barley in my 5.5 gallon brew, but with this Lovibond, I only need 0.5 pound to get the SRM I'm looking for. I don't want an impossibly burnt-tasting stout. Any thoughts?
