Roasted barley in the porter?

[Fudd]

I have a lot of leftover roasted barley from my stout. I am going to make a porter but the recipe does not call for any grain steepage, Just dark LME and hops...Is this normal for a porter and would adding the roasted barley be a fun experiment or is it supposed to be sweet and I would just be killing the taste?

On a side note if I should add grain but not the barley, I have some caramunich 1 which some book said was good in porters. How much of something like that would someone use?

definitely use it in the porter, the caramunich also. use 1/2lb. caramunich, 4 oz. roasted barley. if you can get chocolate malt add between 4-12 oz. of that.

I'd say max of 1/2 lb of the caramunich and no more than 4 oz. of the roast.
