I've never used chocolate wheat malt so have no idea what it does? What is the reasoning behind adding it? From reading the thread it seems like it was a way of darkening the beer while sticking to the malts listed on the blackboard at the brewery (one of which was wheat)?

check out the "Weyerman Malt Aroma Wheel on this site. A good resource: https://bsgcraftbrewing.com/weyermann-chocolate-wheat-25kg

Yep, mainly used for colouring, i'd say. Similar to my use of Midnight Wheat (And fwiw, similar to Earle, i got 1/5th sack of it in a BB, everything gets some if i can). The MW lends a tiny bit of flavour, so i'm guessing the Choc wheat would be similar, maybe a bit more flavour again, given a bit more is required for the colour impact.Coodgee said:
Back to me B) I just compared mine to the real thing. I'd drop the wheat in mine - stands out like dog's balls. There might be a whisker in there, like 2-5%, but i'd be satisfied to try the next one without any (aside from the Midnight Wheat). So i'd increase the balance of Ale, Vienna and Munich malts.
So in short, mine is starting to look more like Earle's :lol:

This is my slight adaptation of Earle's recipe. Main change is centennial instead of cascade and carafa special II instead of the choc wheat.

love that colour. what EBC did your recipe predict? Mine is coming in at 23.6 at the moment. that's with 50grams of carafa special III. was thinking of adding 50grams of special B?

56 grams of carafa special III will get me to 27.4EBC. hopefully that is not too much. I think the dark colour is an important part of the beer.earle said:

I just realised I can actually get chocolate malt. Was the reason you dropped the choc from 100 to 50 because it was too roasty/chocolatey? if so I will probably go with version 2 grain bill. What would you change if you brewed it again now? I was thinking of using 1272 american ale II just to give it a bit more fruit and complexity which is not out of place in a mild. But the original rogers is pretty clean so maybe just US-05.
regarding colour, an easy way to make it darker is probably to just use a bit of red & green food colouring together. it's tasteless and harmless and would definitely darken the beer.

When I tasted my version 1 next to an actual Rogers, the Rogers seemed a bit sweeter. While mine didn't really taste roasty, I though the choc wheat could be over-riding the malt sweetness a little so I halved it in the second version. The second version is probably closer to the mark but I think I prefer the first version. If/when I brew it again I'll probably go back to the first version but I'm also thinking of subbing in whack of biscuit malt to see what that can bring to the party.

Got this one set to 18 degrees in the fermenting fridge now. I set my efficiency to 65%, upped the grain % by 20% and only sparged with 8 litres instead of the usual 16.

Soooo. Anybody got any idea of how i might convert this to an extract / partial recipe???
I was stupid and promised a mate i would make a tasty mid strength, and so looking at doing a rogers.
It will be a 27L batch in total (1 keg and 24 x 330ml bottles), and the boil will be about 14L
So far i am looking at a tin of amber malt extract, a tin of wheat extract, and a grain steep using some pils.
Was also going to add some maltodextrine for some head retention and mouthfeel.
Have already got the EKG, Cascade and Ella hops. Thinking a 60 min boil with 30g of EKG, 10min Boil with 10g Cascade. Then dry hop with 20g Cascade and 30g Stella (oops i mean Ella )

Just had my first taste of this one sitting in the primary fermenter currently at 4 degrees. I think the chocolate wheat really dominates. It's got a dominant toasty flavour.Coodgee said:
That toast my meld in time, but currently in my very humble opinion my original guess is closer to the original:
