I'm ready to brew this but (unless I'm missing something) the recipe looks short on malt. I plan to add two pounds of dry malt to this in order to get a sufficient amount to get this thing going. Any one else notice this?
mash or sock

mkel, I used to use 7 lbs lme for everything. I then began mashing all my grains. I started to get alot of sugar from recipes that use 3-4 lbs of grains. My beer was ending up around 7%. So, now I am backing off the lme. If you put your grains in a sock and throw it in pot as it is warming up, use 7lbs or so. If you mash them with a base malt, you'll convert some of the sugars then you might want to back off on the lme. I try to shoot about 5«v. I have not brewed it yet. Hope you enjoy it!
change of plans

Changed recipe to an all grain. 7lbs pale malt for 4 lbs lme.
Really smooth stout

I did change the recipe by adding two pounds of light malt extract. I bottled the beer and after only ten days, I had to give it a try. My neigbor and I split a bottle and it was incredible. Of couse the "tastings" before might have helped our decision, but this is a "keeper"!
Happy it was good

Mkel, I'm glad it was good! I brewed it as an all-grain. That is the only change I made from when you brewed it. I am transferring it to the secondary in a couple days. I'm excited to try it. Cheers!
A bit too smooth for my taste.

I wish this stout had a bit more bite to it. Maybe substituting the carafa for the black patent was not a good idea. Seems like there is enough roast barley though. Beer has a nice dark head. Looking back I think the problem was my mash temp was too low for a stout. It was 150f. Next time for a stout I will use 155 or so.
