This Is a brew i have planned for some time in the future the advice i am requesting from some one who may have brewed something similar, is what yeast do you recommend? how much chocolate extract and coffee extract i am hoping for enough sweetness from the dark crystal but if not will add something to sweeten it a bit any recommendations? I plan to add any additions just before bottling perhaps draw 100ml of beer and add untill i am happy with the taste

Regards

Not sure if the Munich does anything at that level as I'd try closer to a 5%. that's a lot of c120, maybe a blend of c120 and maybe a c60?

Thanks for your advice looking a bit more into it i tend to agree most advice tend to lead to 10% addition of munich so i have altered it to 600g dropped the base maris otter to 3520g and not really looking for a burnt taste just the toffee so 680g 60l and dropped the 120, any idea on a good yeast for my brew i am leaning towards a clean flavour profile yeast but i dont want it to finish too dry
