I'm about to brew my first dry stout. This is for St. Patrick's Day!
I got a working recipe off one of the online recipe databases (can't remember which) and adjusted it to taste.
I just want to know if I'm overdoing any of the specialty malts or flaked adjuncts!
11 gal batch
13.5 lbs Pale 2-Row
2.0 lbs flaked barley
1.0 lbs roasted barley
1.0 lbs flaked oats (wanted a bit more creamy texture, not really sure if this is a good idea or not?)
0.5 lbs Midnight wheat
0.5 lbs Carafa III
2 oz chocolate malt (unnecessary?)
Hops (Nugget and Willamette @ 60 & 30 min) - 38.5 IBUs
BU:GU = 0.87 (dead on for a dry stout)
Yeast: US-05 dry (1 packet per 5.5 gallons)
OG 1.044, FG: 1.009, IBU 38.5, ABV 4.5%
