I am thinking of brewing an american stout, a version of the reprobate stout from brewing classic styles. The grain bill will be something like this,
Hookhead irish pale malt 85%
Black roast barely 3%
Chocolate spelt malt 3%
Chocolate malt 4%
Crystal 40 4%
Mash @ 68°c
This is my first time using chocolate spelt malt, will it help improve the head as a wheat malt would or is the quantity too small to make a noticeable difference. Will the chocolate spelt malt add any significant taste and if it does do you think it will be better with/without.
Why not use chocolate wheat instead? I doubt it'll add any significant taste
I have the chocolate spelt laying about and just want to use it up. I will just have to chance it.
