Thinking of doing a stout with lots of munich as my next brew.

MO 2.25 Kg
Munich 2.25 Kg
Crystal 0.3 Kg
Wheat malt 0.15 Kg
Pale choc 0.40 Kg
Black malt 0.1 Kg

fermenting with TV3

Will be hoppping to about 35-40 IBU with challenger and a good dose of cascade (circa 40g) with 5 mins to go.

Sounds interesting - tried looking at any schwartzbier recipes? The german version of a stout...

Randy Mosher's recipe in Radical Brewing looks quite a lot like yours!

I've made dark lager in the past but that was with carafa malt ie the dehusked stuff which is supposedly very low on the roastyness.
Haven't seen randy moshers recipe but i'll take it as a good omen if it similar to his.

To be honest i was going to do it 50/50 choc and roast but swmbo asked for it not to be too roasty hence the change to almost all pale choc and just a touch of black malt, hopefully it'll still be nice

I've just been experimenting with other roasted grains - a stout with roasted + crystal + flaked + malted rye, planning one with roasted + chocolate + crystal + malted wheat next... Some of the alternative roasted grains coming available seem ripe for experimentation...

Munich should make it nice and malty and a bit more interesting than typical stouts...
