I'm currently designing my first recipe for next weekend and I'd like some feedback as I'm sure I should probably make some tweaks. I'm specifically looking for feedback on the grainbill, and the relative amounts of each grain. For instance, I'd like to include more chocolate malt but I was told not to use > 5%. However without any other darker malts, am I safe to bump this up and dial back the base malt? Also - is this too much oat/lactose?
I'll be fermenting with us-05 and I plan to add about 50ml of strong cold brewed coffee to each 950ml bottle at bottling time.
I'll be brewing with as much water as I can fit in the kettle (BIAB) for the mash, then sparge with the extra litre or 2 that wont fit and add that to the boil.
I appreciate any help I can get!
