G'day,
I'm planning on brewing a Coopers stout with 1kg of stout mix (a blend of dark malt, corn syrup and licorice powder) with 500g of dark malt extract.
I have 250g of choc malt grain. Would this be an odd mix with the licorice powder?
Also, the grain hasnt been milled. Normally id' just crack it up in the mortar and pistle, but the lady at the HBS said I should put it in the oven first. I've never done this but would be ken to hear others' views.
I'm planning on bottling this and cellaring for a while, perhaps at least a year. I generally keg these days and not sure a kegged stout would do it justice.
Thanks.
Daz
