Really happy with this and glad everyone liked it.
Looks good. I appreciate the percentages makes it much easier to eyeball and estimate for different systems.
Brown malt is the new sexy malt,again :)
Wow. I definately thought there was chocolate in there...
Brown malt is great. I think since its not in a lot of beers anymore, it gives a different enough flavour to make people sit up. Isn't the modern London Porter done with a brown malt base now?

I love the stuff. I think it gives a lovely toast crust flavor. Its a malt i try to include in my porters/stouts.
I find it gives a bit of sweetness (not sure if its the best way to describe it) to the finished beer.

Yeah that's the one. They reference it in the style guides as well. Sounds pretty damn tasty.
Oh it is :)
Bumping this recipe. It's one I've made a good few times now and am really happy with it. It's a simple tasty dry stout. Mash at 64c.
Ditto - it's my goto Stout. That extra brown... ^-^ That reminds me, I bought all the ingredients for a stout last month...
Sparging this at the moment. Will be an entry in the NCB Stout comp
FYI health food shops stock flaked barley amongst other interesting grains if you don't have it to hand. I got some in Nourish inside Dunnes Stores
