I'm thinking of making a choc stout, my brew pantry has 2 cans of Coopers stout, 1 can of coopers dark ale, 1kg of dark malt, 500g light dry malt, 100g maltodex, heaps of dex, 500g choc malt grain, 25 g of fuggles, Dutch cocoa powder, Windsor and S04 yeast.
I was thinking of using
One can of the stout
500g of choc malt
500g of light malt (to not make it so heavy because of the grains)
500g of dark malt
15g of fuggles @ 20
10g of fuggles @ 10
100g of maltodex
A big ol spoon of cocoa powder
Do I need to add any dex?
What are your thoughts/criticisms on the recipe? I also don't really want a stout that will put me on my ass after 2 stubbies so 6% or under is what I'm trying to aim for so depending on the OG I might use the Windsor instead of the S04.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
