Looking for feedback on this recipe. It's similar to something I did a few years ago (Double Chocolate Strawberry Cream Stout) which was ok. I'm always worried about too much crystal or roasted malts.
5 gallon batch
OG - 1.060
IBU - 28.5
Color - 33 SRM
Grain Bill:
7.5# - 2-row (~50% of bill)
1# - flaked oats (~6% of bill)
1# - wheat (~6% of bill)
3/4# - C60 (~5% of bill)
3/4# - Chocolate (~5% of bill)
3/4# - roasted barley (~5% of bill)
1/2# - lactose (~3% of bill)
Hops:
3/4oz - Green Bullet @ 60
Yeast:
Denny's Favorite 50 or WLP004 (maybe?)
Adjuncts:
3# can - Sweet cherry puree (secondary) (~20% of bill)
4oz - Cocoa nibs (secondary)
1 - vanilla bean (secondary)
Probably mash high for fuller and sweeter body
