Hi guys (and girls)
I will be brewing up an imperial stout with a grain bill in the likes of this (13 l batch)
80% 4.500 kg American Two-row Pale
7% 0.400 Roasted Barley
5% 0.300 Special B - 118L
5% 0.300 Chocolate Malt
3% 0.150 Caramunich Malt 60
I would like to age it for a bit and give it a subtle, yet clear and noticable smoky profile by substituting some of the base malt with rauch malt. My question is, for a beer like this, how much of the 4.5 kg would you substitute to get the desired result? Not overly smoky, but I want it to be there.
