This is my second time brewing this and am considering ways to tweak the recipe...
5 Gallon batch
12 lb maris otter
2 lb Munich
1 lb special B
12 oz roasted barley
8 oz black malt
8 oz chocolate malt
Mash- 1 hr in low 150s
60 min- 1 oz Kent Goldings
15 min- 1 oz Kent Goldings
Yeast- WLP 530 Abbey ale yeast
Some of the changes I am considering to the grain bill are...
Splitting the maris otter with munich malt- 6 lbs of each
Adding some oats- 12 oz?
As far as the yeast goes...
I think the abbey ale yeast worked nicely the first time, producing a well rounnded stout with subtle spice notes. I want to explore these Belgian yeasts and am planning on splitting the batch btwn two carboys. Reusing the abbey ale yeast and maybe WLP 550- Belgian ale yeast.

Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!
