Hi guys. Newbie homebrewer here. Planning to brew a big base stout and trying to come out of some nice recipe. I'm aiming for thick, fudgy stout with pleasant chocolate, coffee flavor.
So I put 2-Row, Chocolate, Oats first for the base, and put RB / BT for dark color and bit of roasted flavor, put 120L/60L/Brown for caramel-nutty complexity.
So at the end, the grain bill got a bit messy. Not sure if I should put out some malts or not.
Also, I'm not a fan of stouts with heavy burnt flavor. Should I take Back Patent out? Or 0.5 pound will be just enough for complexity and color?
Thanks and cheers!
