First All Grain Brew

[richthrift]

Im planning on starting my first all grain brew at the beginning of April. I want to do a chocolate stout. Im having trouble with the recipe. At least, deciding what the base malt should be. Would 10 lbs Maris Otter suffice? I have searched the site but cant seem to find an answer that really clarifies this for me.

Marris otter would be fine it is a classic english pale malt.

Look@ northern brewer.com under their all gain kits they give you the recipes for the kit. If you can't find one pm me and I will send you one.

Marris Otter is the base for their dry irish stout. I did this one about 5 weeks ago it's wonderful. Stout is a perfect first all grain beer.

Oh cool. I never noticed the all grain kits on northernbrewer. How are their shipping times?

Very good if you use ground it normally ships next business day. Brewsaver shipping is slower but considerably cheaper. I like the NB kits had really good results with them so far.

Awesome. I'll definitely have to give them a shot. I've been ordering all of my stuff from monsterbrew and really enjoy their service. I'm just trying to find something where the shipping isn't so very expensive
