At 68% eff., I am shooting for an OG of 1.065 and about 60 IBU.
My objective is a roasty, slightly burnt, bitter, dryish stout with a strong amerrican hop influence. I really like Deschutes Obsidian Stout and have brewed the clone (which made me happy) but I want to try something slightly different.
I am basically naive as to the contribution and influences of the combination of Chocolate malt, black patent malt and roasted barley, ie: Is there enough of either to be noticeable(flavor)?, Will one overpower the other? Plus a few more ?'s I can’t dredge up right now.
The hop schedule is tenative also.
Thank you very much for any insight or suggestions.
