Go for it, is that Dry hopping or Flame-outs & 80c Steep?
I used 500g of Flaked barley in my Rye stout http://pdtnc.wordpress.com/2010/04/10/a ... tout-mkii/ and as its maturing its getting a lovely creamy mouth feel.

That is 80C and dry hopping. Whoops.

Yeah this should have good head retetion, combined with the wheat. Its a good thing its going to be dark.

More dry hops!

Thats 100grams of Cascade in a stout in the last 15mins/0mins/dry hops. Dont know if I can convince myself to use any more on my first hoppy stout attempt.
