my chocolate stout - need your feedback

Post by 400d » Mon Nov 07, 2011 5:03 pm

ok guys, this is what I want to brew in couple of days. I would appreciate your comments on this recipe. as you can see I intend to blend S-04 and US-05 (I read some really good reviews on this). What do you think of the grain bill, hops? would you change anything? please comment, since I'm brewing 50 litres for the first time and wouldn't want it spoiled...

Why are you using Pislner Malt??? Just use basic pale malt its a lot cheaper and you will not notice any diffrence in flavour

I'm using pilsner because I have bunch of it :) have to use it or it will go bad... do you think my grain bill is ok, beside the issue with the base malt?
