Alright guys, just looking for some thoughts on the grain bill for an upcoming stout. It's a fundamental stout recipe from 'Radical Brewing' by Randy Mosher.
84% Mild Ale Malt
8% Black Patent
8% Dark Crystal.
As some of you may know allot of recipes in that book have a traditional focus hence the lack of roasted barley in there. That's more so what I'm concerned about. I've always used roasted barley in my stouts combined with chocolate, black patent or both. Do you think that % of black patent will be a bit too sharp? Perhaps the crystal will balance that out, either way, thoughts welcome!
Cheers,
Graeme
