I want to do a dry stout with a partial mash (probably DB method) anyway I was thinking of something like this:
.5lb crystal 60
1lb flaked barley
1lb roasted barley
.5lb black or chocolate
3-4 lbs base malt
3lbs dme
Anyway I was wondering should I use light or dark extract? Is a pound of flaked barley enough for decent head retention? Also I'm kinda stumped on what hops to use. I want to go with English ingredients in the malt and hops, any ideas? I'll probably use Irish Ale yeast. Any feedback would be appreciated, this will be my first time doing a partial mash, I'm pretty excited.
