just finished brewing this sweet chocolate orange stout(well this is what i'm calling it)
i'm looking for a very chocolatly beer.
here's the recipe:
6 lbs LME golden light extract
3/4 lbs chocolate malt
1/2 lb crystal 60
1/2 lb flaked oats
1/4 black patent
1 lb lactose @ 10 min
1 oz pacifica @ 60 min
1/2 oz pacifica @ 15 min
1 tap irish moss @ 10 min
8 oz bakes chocolate @ 30 min
zest of 2 oranges @ 5 min
safbrew s-33 yeast
OG= 1.058
(i used pacifica and s-33 because i had it laying around)
i plan on making my own chocolate syrup to put in the secondary for more chocolate flavor.
was planning on adding 1/2 oz of pacifica @ 30 min but wanted to ease up on the hops because i was adding chocolate and that would give some bittering.
does this seem like a good idea? or is this recipe ruined from the beginning ?
i'm pretty new to this but need some constructive criticism from the vets. any tips?
PS- hopefully santas good to me this year so i can start AG
