I keep reading 10% max specialty grains for the grist bill (example http://byo.com/american-amber-pale-ale/item/1477-the-dark-secrets-of-stout) on a stout but just throwing together a quick recipe based on what I see around on NB and HBT, all of these seem to go way over 10%.
So will this be OK? Will it be much thicker/heavier? On the below, BeerSmith is saying 31 SRM. If I take out the chocolate it goes down to 23.5 SRM.
I'm just looking to do a pretty basic stout but I only have 1 pound each of Roasted barley, Chocolate malt, also have C20 and C120 and maltodextrin on hand if those would help.
14 oz roasted barley 300 SRM (13.3%)
7 oz chocolate malt 350 SRM (6.7%)
2.25 oz Brewer's Gold 7% - around 41 IBUs
Light DME 5.25 pounds (1.047 OG)
I'm using US-05.
Thanks.
