I had made a forum post a month or so ago about a milk stout that had chocolate rye in and some suggestions have me wanting to make a regular stout using chocolate rye w/ regular rye and flaked. Im torn between using Munich as base malt, a 50% of each Pale and Munich, or a small amount (which is what I have here). Any suggestions and such appreciated. I feel like I may have an overcomplicated malt profile, but someone mentioned the combination of 80L and Special B to help bring out chocolate notes.
I want a good spicy rye-ness + chocolate notes. Should I add more rye? Thinking of substituting the munich for more rye and mash higher to give a more malty backbone?
The hop schedule is also up for debate, Im thinking of having about 60 IBUS. Not sure If I want more Northern to help bring some more woody characters to the brew.
I thought I had a concept of yeast to use, but I guess I don't. So any recommendations there is also welcome. Should I go neutral or pick something that will bring an extra flavors to the table. Maybe wyeast 1335 (english ale II)?
