OK, stout experts. I have been looking at a lot of different stout recipes trying to gauge a good mix of dark malts, but there's a ton of variation there.
In a milk stout, would 1lb of black patent followed by .75lb of caramel and .5lb of chocolate work well? this is what Jamil has listed in his BCS book, but I've heard people swearing that too much black patent is bad.....
.....I have 1lb each of black patent, crystal 80L, Chocolate, and Roasted Barley. Hit me with a couple of good variations, and take a minute to explain why you would use it that way, if you would...thanks guys.
